So, I've been playing Final Fantasy XII and ran into a few hiccups here and there, sorted them all myself (been emulating with Dolphin for a bit, too, and they seem to work pretty similar as far as how it handles settings) and I'm cruising through the first real dungeon the game dumps you into, suddenly I can't open my menu or access my map anymore.
After poking around online and on here a bit I found out that it's a region issue with FFXII (playing the US version) and the game seems to have issues with some controllers, something to do with models with A in the serial number.
So, my question is, anyone know of any way around this? Or a way to switch to a different controller model? I've been looking around for a different input plugin, but they all seem to use the same one as none of them work.
I started this game years ago and never got to finish it, I'm about to the point I was at before and I've spent the last 5 hours or so grinding in a dungeon (love the job system this game has) and I'm at my wits end trying to fix this. Please tell me I haven't dumped 12 hours into a save file I'm going to have to lose. Ugh. Lol. Any help would be appreciated. Until I can get this working, again, I guess I'll start another game.
Such a fantastic game, it sucks that there's issues like this with it. Had I known this was going to be a problem I would have started with a different region disc. Another question, if anyone happens to know the answer, can I use save data off a memory card with a different region disc? I would assume not.
Here's a Gamefaqs question somebody posted about the same problem on the original hardware if anyone's interested in reading more about it: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/459841-final...ed-or-what
