Chrono Trigger Items in Battle problem

Hi all...

I've been playing CT on ZSNES (ver. 1.43, that's the latest right?) and I've come across a problem. I just battled the Golem in 12,000 BC and lost the battle, but the game continues even if you lose, right? Since that battle whenever I've gotten into a battle, I can't use my items in battles. When I select Items for a character, the list appears blank. I can use them outside of battle just fine. Is this a bug or something I can fix?

Jared

You'll need to post the NSRT (http://nsrt.edgeemu.com/) information for the game. Actually there is no 1.43. There is WIP code separated by release date. (like ZSNES_0329.zip). You'll also need to list the "exact" version you are using. It might also help if you post a savestate as well as your system specs and operating system, etc.

Also, this should probably be posted in the Bugs forum.

This is a detailed listing of the requirements: http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3821

Is this your first time playing CT?

Is this the battle which you appear in the giant plane? If you appear alone and need to find your other companions, you also need to find the stuff in small boxes scattered around the plane.

You mean being captured by Dalton, and stuck on the Blackbird...

You don't ever appear alone.. but you have to acquire 5 chests. 1 for each character (3 total), Gold, and the item list.

If you fail to acquire any of them, there is a message made to inform you that you may be missing at least 1 of the 5 chests. This doesn't stop you from continuing on though.

This is not an emulator bug.. this is something you didn't pay enough attention to (walkthroughs can be easily obtained from GameFAQs).

The method of resolving it is by attempting to load a save or savestate at or prior to your being captured by Dalton. Otherwise, I don't believe you can recover the missing items.

Of course you can recover them. You find another chest or something with whatever you didn't pick up.

Oh well, looks like I don't remember too well, still.. I think I got the important things right.

What I meant was you couldn't recover it past that whole event... The slightly non-obvious thing is recovering the items... where you need to access a particular shaft opening to where that particular chest is... I think.

It is nice when the original poster is NOT descriptive.. and it would be nice if he gave the NSRT output and possible the .srm file uploaded to rapidshare or whatever... it's impossible to guess wtf is going on.
