Final Fantasy X Via Purifico

[TheGamingDragon]

Hello all,

I remember this problem nearly six years ago, and I am hoping there is a solution for it now.  During the underwater battle with Everae Altana (Via Purifico) it seems before the battle even has a chance to begin the game freezes.  I have enabled speedhacks, tried various debugging methods, and even tried to replace plugins that were "out of date".  I have PSCX.1.0.0 which im sure is well out of date, and the US version of Final fantasy 10.

Is there anything I can do to stop this scene from freezing on me?  The game has worked perfectly up until this point and its so frustrating because I want to beat this game.  Over six years have gone by and I still can't get over this.  Any help would be appreciated.  I am running a very old computer, but the emulator is able to run just fine.  Its only during the scene mentioned above that I am having problems.  Any sololutions are appreciated, even if I have tried them before.

Thanks.

Update pcsx2 ?

Update pcsx2 ?

I did that.  I am now using version 1.4.0, and I believe version 1.6.0 was just released last month?  I am wondering if there is a problem with shading.  I am playing around with settings but still cannot get it to work.

1.6 is still in the works, get the latest Git build, I've played through FFX 4 times using PCSX2 and I haven't had a freeze like that yet.

Alright thanks.  I'll try this and see if this will solve the freezing issue.  I know my old desktop can handle the emulator, though its very low end.  I have never had a problem with the game until I got to the undead Everae.  Im hoping this build will help.

Okay, so when updating everything it still did not fix the issue. I am starting to believe there is some shading error or some kind of texture that cannot be loaded. In the underwater part if I encounter a random battle OR get to the boss, it will not transition to the battle. Perhaps I can upload a picture of what it looks like, or maybe take a screenshot of my current settings.

Anymore ideas from anyone?
