On the other hand, I'm 25 minutes in and it's already frozen...
But at least i only lost 5 minutes worth of work, and now I know to use Snes9x.

I think the only solution here is to wait for a better emulator...but i worry because zsnes hasnt updated for awhile now. Correct if I'm wrong.

Youre way wrong. If you check the zsnes boards, you will notice that an "official" release has not been done in a while, but WIP releases are done very very often. Check www.ipherswipsite.com

Second, a large portion of crashing issues are not the fault of zsnes or snes9x, but the game itself. Star Ocean on the actual snes had many crashing issues that carry over to zsnes and snes9x.

Third, I will just mention that it is evil to quadruple post technically the same message over and over again, and angers mods.

The board was messed up at that time anyway (notice his 0 post count), so it's forgivable.

UGH. KEVMAN ANGRY.

MOD SMASH.

Really, that was a mess. So I don't care.

It was a good thing that PF shut it off when he did, though. I couldn't moderate ANYTHING, and I don't think anyone else could edit his/her posts.

Actually, the board did work, sort of. Make a post, press submit and you would get that error message. So hit back and refresh, and everything was the was it was supposed to be.

I could make posts. Sure.

But editing, locking, etc, didn't work for me at all

I used ZSNES, no savestates or cheats, and used only native saves. No crashes whatsoever. I don't know what your doing wrong.

I am, once again, in an infinite loop of freezing, loading, freezing. God this is so gimp. I've always wanted to play the Translated version (Have played and beaten Jap version. I know japanese) but I wanted to see how good the English version is! But I never shalllll!

Stop relying on save states that much and use ingame saves.

Who said I even used Save States?

could someone help me, I have downloaded many things and followed much advice to get starocean to work, but so far the only thing that is wrong is... instead of the game... I get... effing... COLORED BLOBS!!!!

I really need help. not professional help, but help from some1 like agozer.

edit.-DON'T EVER USE THAT COLOR AGAIN.

Just download the latest WIP or official Zsnes version, the newest Zsnes can run SO without GRAPHIC PACKS.

Edit.- Thanks Agozer, no thanks two cartons of beer.

I hope you meant graphics packs.

I just started playing Star Ocean again (it took about two years for me to get un-sick of it enough to actually enjoy it) on ZSNES 1.42, and I noticed that the bug where the music stops, which happened fairly rarely on my old version of ZSNES, now happens pretty much every time the scene changes. I don't really want to go back to the old version which required graphics packs... is there some fix somewhere or am I stuck?

"Use Snes9X"

Seriously, Snes9X plays the game with no errors.

Cidolfas · Post by **Cidolfas** » Tue May 23, 2006 5:24 pm

Hmm... yeah, but the game seems a lot slower for some reason. Also, I really don't like the key setup (F1 for loading and Shift-F1 for saving confuses me...)

Yeah, in Linux, that's is reversed. D:<

Hay can some one help me? I have beat the English vertion of Star Ocean. but i cant identify items, costomise items, or forge items. is that because of some bug or is it that i just dont know how

Post by **grinvader** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 4:31 pm

To get the various abilities you have to train their corresponding skills (some require several skills). Hard to believe you genuinely finished the game without even knowing that.

MorteTheSkull · Post by **MorteTheSkull** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 7:29 pm

eh, I finished Final Fantasy Tactics Advance without knowing you gain abilities from items you equip.
And I beat FF6 without realizing that Espers can be used to boost stats instead of just learning spells (I did that when I was like, 10 though)
