I stopped playing because most of the sprites were either rectangles or screwed up in some way. It's the same for the gariland academy after that, except you can actually see the inside of that hall, and the batleground outside. And about the sprites, some are completely missing, others are represented as pink rectangles, and the wrong faces go to the wrong speakers in some text boxes. It does all the text before and after the battle (with the sky background being the only thing showing the whole time). The insides of the monastery are gone (replaced with a big black screen, see below), and what's weird is the battle at the monestary is skipped. The entire Orbonne Monastery scene at the beggining is completely screwed up. The Mdecs are great, a little skippy at some parts, but good. I made an image of the disk using CloneCD, and now it works, but I have major graphical problems that make the game not worth playing.

Feel free to contact me in any way (including on here), thank you. I know for a fact the game will work with the right plugins and settings, I was just hoping that I could find that information here. But that's probably not the problem, I'm thinking its a setting in one of the GPU plugins (I was using four different kinds of Pete's GPU plugins). All the other CDR plugins fail to get past a big black screen. I should note that the only CDR plugin that got me that far was the 'Internal ePSXe W2K CDR' plugin, which is one of the ones that comes with the ePSXe emulator. I have tried using different settings with different plugins. I'm assuming it's failing to read or load or play the video at the beginning of the game. My problem is this: the screen freezes on the squaresoft logo at startup. I'm using a burnt 1:1 copy of the American release of the game. This is the first time I've tried running any game on an emulator. This problem is more basic than the one above. I have a separate problem with fft, and in an effort to keep the number of game threads down have posted it in this similar thread.
