General Discussion / Ways to play my PSX FF8 discs

« on: 2013-09-14 21:08:51 »

Hi folks,

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this or even an appropriate topic for the forum but I'm not sure where else to look!

I was playing FF8 platinum copy a while back on my PS3 and managed to get to the start of Disc 4 which the PS3 just refused to load. A quick online search found that I was actually a lucky one, some people can't get their game to load at all. As you can no doubt of guessed, I was somewhat miffed.

My rage has since subsided and I'm really keen to get playing FF8 again but if I can't play it on my PS3 what are my options? I've tried getting the disc to load straight from the tray with epsxe with no success, as well as trying to make images with PowerISO (made a .bin which didn't load and can't seem to make an .iso) so I'm a bit stumped. I even tried ImgBurn as people seem to use that but found myself riddled with malware after installing (luckily managed to remove it easily). I'm on Win-7 64bit if that matters at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Am I forever doomed to reach disc 4 and think "arrrrrrrrrrrrgh"?

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Troubleshooting / FF8 high resolutions and improved ost?

« on: 2011-03-17 00:58:16 »

Hi guys,

I recently emmigrated from the UK to NZ, and left my FF8 PSX back in the UK. However, with a bit of forward planning I also got a hold of a copy of FF8 for the PC and so have been able to play with that for the time being.

I've used both Ficedula's configurator plus the FF8 launcher, but I'm torn between having an improved soundtrack for the game (as I'm sure we all know, the PC midi's are pretty lackluster) or improved resolutions and widescreen ratios for the game. I'm trying to tinker with them to get the best of both worlds, but I'm a novice when it comes to these things.

Aside from the INSANE sensitivity from my 360 wired controller (tried every help topic but can't turn off the analog stick, however I can play the game most of the time if the left stick is untouched), I'm wondering if there's any help available in order to play with the improved resolutions as well as the improved soundtracks.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Sed.
