FFX Crash in Macalania Woods

[JackBoris12]

Hey guys,

Many apologies if this is a repost, but I'm having significant problems getting through FFX in the new beta.

I'm at the point in Macalania Woods where you have to fight the Spherimorph. Once you beat it, you get the cutscene from the Jecht sphere. The game crashes consistently during that cutscene, once Auron says "That was his decision." The screen stays on the same frame, and EE GS and UI drop to zero

Currently, settings are:

EE/FPU options
Round: chop/zero Clamping mode: Tried as normal, and full
Flush to zero (tried with denormals are zero on as well)

Tried MicroVU and superVU for VU0 and 1
Round mode: chop/zero
Clamping mode: extra + sign preserve
Flush to zero (tried with denormals are zero on as well)

Default settings for GS and GS window

No speedhacks active

Tried with and without FFX video fix

Any advice would be much appreciated.

could you please post the emulog.txt ?

Hmm, could you try this with enabled speedhacks please? Try to set a different EE cycle rate mainly.

If you can't fix it, I'd appreciate your memory card so I can check it out.

[JackBoris12]

Tried it on x2 and x3 EE cycle rate, with no effect.
Email you the mem card?
