Figured out the issue. The US version of Vagrant Story doesnt have an anti-protection patch, not that I can find anyway. So best bet is to get the European version, and patch that. Works with me.

Hmm Ill try to convert it to another file type. Which version is yours?

Hello, quick query. Im trying to run Vagrant Story on the latest version but it's stuck on the "Now Loading" screen. I have tried patching the rom with anti-protection and mods but no luck. Im hoping someone got past the Now Loading screen and point the way for me. Thank you.
