      Final Fantasy 8 runs smoothly until I enter a battle - then it completely freezes, and I can't recover the game. Anyone have tips for this issue?

      I'm running:
      Rpi3B
      RetroPie 4.2
      5V/2.5A power supply
      lr-pcsx-rearmed
      SCPH-1001 (standard)

      I've tried pcsx-rearmed with the same issue for FF8. FF7/FF9 don't have that issue whatsoever.

          @dankcushions That didn't work for me :(. Still freezes upon battle entry, and causes display and audio stuttering as well. Any other guesses?

            • Medievil = Unable to select between New Game and Load Game on the startup screen and the icons of those are broken.

            +1 to that one. Initially, I thought that the cause was a corrupted rom, but after trying 3 different roms (PAL and NTSC), I consider it as an emulation glitch. Gameplay is not affected, so far, at least.

              And you used Enhanced Resolution when you tested it ?

                @aengeon Is there a specific point in the game where this happens? (Tomb raider 2 freezes) I would like to try to replicate it. It has not happened to me so far.

                  @bobharris It seems to just be random, For me it happened once on the first level. Then not again until the offshore rig. The biggest part I had the problem on was in the plane right after you pick up your pistols on the offshore rig level.

                    @aengeon Oke thanks, I will check it out and report in the spreadsheet if it's different for me.

                      @bobharris Is your TR2 game an eboot or is it .cue + .bins? Mine's the .cue + .bin, All of them I've tried have been, so maybe it's just struggling with the 62ish .bin files? idk. Just keep hitting select at random times and see what happens and if you have no trouble out of yours let me know. Having the random freezes has made me want to stop playing this game.

                        @aengeon I've got an eboot. I will, but it may take some time.
                        Edit: Never mind; I see there is a level skip, so I will skip right to the offshore rig level.

                          @aengeon It must be either something in your settings, or a problem with the bin cue format. I am happy to report there are no such issues with my eboot. I can't tell you where I got it from, but you can find it easily.

                          I hit the select button many times at different positions in the airplane where the pistols are. Used bandaids, saved the game, or just going back to the game..all went fine.
                          I'm glad as Tomb Raider 2 is my favorite TR so would be a shame if it didn't work properly.

                          Update: I've been able to freeze the game. I left the Pi running with Lara in the airplane. I came back after maybe 15 minutes and the game was frozen. I tried it again and this time the game kept running but froze after hitting select. So for me the game seems to run fine unless I let it run while doing nothing.

                            @bobharris Very odd, So the circumstances in which the game freezes seems to vary. However the outcome remains that it does indeed still freeze randomly. I'll try the eboot and see if I have any better luck with it. Thanks for the input.

                                  Did you get a bad copy or something cause all 3 Tekken games i ripped from my discs works perfectly.

                                    Well that's then something about the image you have. No issues on me.

                                        SCPH101.BIN. The one from PSOne, so it's the latest one available.

                                          This is my current list of games that I'm having issues with as I get ready to build out my RetroPie system:

                                          Windows 10
                                          Emulation Station
                                          RetroArch
                                          pcsx_rearmed_libretro.dll
                                          SCPH1001.BIN BIOS

                                          Metal Gear Solid: black screen on launch
                                          Gran Turismo 2: see a splash screen on start, then it freezes and stays there.
                                          Street Fighter 3 Alpha: sits on checking memory card forever.
                                          Crash Team Racing: sony spash screen, then it freezes.
                                          Front Mission 3: game launches and then shows "loading" but never moves past that.

                                          Any suggestions is appreciated.
