Final Fantasy II - Non Cheeseball Edition Freezing

Post by Bacon »

Not sure if this is the right place, but when you get to the cave of mist, and get the he spot where mist first starts talking to you (top right of the cave) zsnes quits. I've tried v1.42, 1.36, different ips patches,patching v1.0 and version 1.1 but nothing seems to fix it. I'm just wondering if its the IPS file or zsnes, because I really want to play this,

thanks.

Bugs in a patched rom are the problem of the creator of the hack.

Does it freeze without the patch?

No the game wors fine without the patch so it is the IPS, I guess the author used a bad version of the game then when he made the patch?

That, or there is a bug in the patch.

Out of curiosity, do you have this problem with Snes9x?

There's a pretty good chance that the original poster is using the WRONG version of the ROM in use for the IPS patch. The patch "should" say what version of the ROM of FF2 to be using. There are two versions... 1.0 and 1.1.

I recall one of the FF2 hacks required the 1.0 patch (not the hack the original poster is using)..

Whoops... my bad.

Though, I haven't seen any NSRT output.. which just leaves the chance for a bad ROM checksum (when unpatched)..

No, the bad code was done on purpose by the author of the patch, to make the game crash. It has nothing to do with the ROM.
part of the readme wrote:And also, don't play past Mist Cave. The demo ends there. TheGun wanted to put a coolio crash message for Mist Cave, but only with minimal success; ZSNES crashes all right, but no coolio message. :( So umm... just stop playing at Mist Cave. There.
