I assume the log you mean is the txt file in the H_L folder? it says this;

As for further help, whatever it might be, I will upload a screenshot of the cmd prompt and the junction menu in the game.
http://imgur.com/a/db4lqNot sure if this helps you. I hope so. I have only a few Ultima,, I was playing around with different magics. It doesn't break the 9999 wall with anything. Also thank you very much. Final Fantasy 8 is, for me, my favorite (long story). It would be nice to make the game have a fresh twist. <3

Edit: So after loading it up a second time, HP on Squall (with Full-Life junctioned to Health) was 14520 or something like that. - I quit and load up again and it is back to 9999. After reloading the game another 15 times, it has not happened again. I don't know if this is any indication for what might be a problem?
