Alright, so I'm new here, but I am vet when it comes to emulation, just never been into posting on forums much. What can I say, I'm a reader. I have tried and tried and tried to get this game to run with JPCSP. Although there are posts that make note that earlier builds can play the game, there is unfortunately no where left to find those old builds. They are so legacy that nobody bothered to keep active links for them. I have come crazily close though. Unfortunately, the game only ran at 21-24 fps (which is just fine), but the cut-scenes were always at 4fps, and there were many graphical glitches I just couldn't resolve. One specific one was the occasional missing texture, or sometimes even missing polys!
You're alternatives aren't any better either. Even the renown PPSSPP has its issues with this game. (I'd like to make a note, that the latest version of PPSSPP runs this game perfectly, with the exception of cut-scenes, which are completely visually absent. However, game play runs at 60fps.)
I thought it might be due to my rig, but it definitely isn't. I think that JPCSP may not ever play this game right though. As for PPSSPP? Well they're getting close to fixing the video, is a problem for many games in PPSSPP (yeah alright, every game). Still, my advice? Get JPCSP for everything else, because its the better emulator at the moment(although the latest build of PPSSPP as of this post makes me rock hard). But if you really want to play this game, run it on PPSSPP and watch the cut-scenes online. Other wise, there are plenty of other fantastic RPGs that run just fine on JPCSP.
