Why you lazy....
The Final Fantasy fix thread is so dilluted at this point, its damn near impossible to track down anything helpful and the compatibility list is so outdated, its not even worth your time. Testing on my own, I've found about 2-3 games that worked almost perfectly when the list said they were disfunctional whereas others have sucked ass when the list said they were ok (BUT, in the lists defense, its been collected over MANY different versions. What REALLY makes no sense about that is the fact that theres' an OLDER compatibility list thread. Why does that exist if this new one is still going to have old compatibility listings? << Confused)
For Chrono Trigger and the final fantasies, use the settings as specified in the pcsxbox compatibility thread (the ff settings thread just...sucks. So does the actual compatibility list but it seems alright when it comes to the final fantasy and chrono trigger settings.)
In ff9, using help mode (pressing the select button in a fight) makes the flickering of the battle menu go down even further.
In Metal Gear Solid, apparently the codec conversations are a little off and it freezes after the ocelot fight while you're talking to the darpa chief and the fmv video pops up but that can be fixed by playing past that point in an emulator from what i hear. That makes me wonder if it would freeze during the LOOOOoooooooong liquid convo at the end since it has fmv as well...
Anyways, yeah. There you go.
Oh, and if you're even the slightest bit interested about playing Chrono Cross, dont bother. It looks like shit, doesnt save (you CAN use save states tho), you have to switch save files to a pc ps emu to change discs which isn't that bad in most games but in this one, there's A LOT of disc swapping if you plan on playing a second game (which is where this game TRULY shines). You'd be better suited buying an original copy for ten bucks and playing it on your ps1/ps2 if you want to play this game...and if you dont have anything playstation related in your house, play it on your pc. Seriously, Chrono Cross sucks bawls on pcsxbox. Small price to pay tho. Besides, playing on ps2 with the texture smoothing is the only way to play this game (the original textures were sooooooo bad). I suppose the pc could smooth some textures too.
