T___T Okay, gang, here's my situation.
I made an ISO of my FF8 discs, because my laptop's CD drive has always been iffy with reading over long periods of time. (FF8 PC Version...apparently there 1.9billion PC versions of this version of the game...>.> i dunno which i have ><!)
The game plays great and extermely fast, but there's a slight problem: with the opening intro movie, i had to go into quarter-screen, low-res movies or the game would crash. That wasn't too bad.
Now the game crashes at the video directly after leaving dollet and excaping from Ex-ATMrandomnumbers, regardless of how i set it up.
I see three solutions to the issue:
1) I find a way to skip the FMVs. on PS1, you just pop open the disc. running from isos, that requires screen-switching, of course, which could be an issue. (>< Everything is an issue when you're running XP T_T)
2) I find a save file directly after the video, and modify that save file to match my stats now. I really wanna beat the game without cheating and using trainers this time >P
3) I send one of you my save file, then you get me past it on your copy.
If anyone has any ideas or can offer their time getting me past the FMV< please let me know. ^^
