Well using the supplied save and changing a few folder names from US to JP I've managed to get past the freeze at the Jecht sign dialogue and enter the first battle. Let's see how far this can go although my battles are running at 4fps.
Update:
Game gets stuck after destroying the reactor in the battle with sinspawn.
Also another note I'm using the online store version [NPUB31247]. Not sure how much difference this will make.
