I just downloaded 0.10.2 today. It got passed the cinematic, but just showed a gray screen instead of the movie. I don't care. I have played the game so many times that I know what is up. All I have to say is Schtruck rules. Thanks for quick fixes you keep pushing!

Anyone else experienced the problem with missing menus in battles? When frameskip is set to for example <45, the menus in battles will not be shown. Only way to solve this is to remove the frameskip but this results in very slow experience otherwise. I use version 0.10.5. Help anyone?

As far as I know there's no solution for this problem for now. Hopefully will be fixed in next update.

Also, when posting, please specify which platform you are using WinCE or Android.

Seems Im having a little bit of a problem with FFVIII.

Im using FPse for Android on a Droid X OCed at 1.3Ghz using Liberty 1.5.

Seems like the characters are somewhat distorted, not sure if this would be a good word to use but Ill post a pic.

I didnt have this issue with the first few released and just noticed with the newest 10.9 update... Tried reverting back to the older version but seeing the same thing. Using all the stock setting except for Spu sync which is checked... Ive also tried changing a few of the video and system settings with no luck... Anyway heres a pic, wondering if anyone is having this issue as well.





One final thing, I did use pocketiso to shrink it down thinking that might have been the problem. So I tried both a copy I found on the web and I also tried making my own copy from the original game and same issue.

Hi there,

I'm recently bought FPse from the Android store for my HTC Desire HD, because my (bought) PSX4droid was buggy and I wanted to give FPse a try. The main reason for my giving FPse a try, was to finally be able to play FFVIII on my mobile.

I've updated my FPse completely and I own an original FFVIII, so I made my own .bin and .iso files (tried them both). The problem is the same for both emulators (FPse and PSX4droid) as well as for the .bin file: When starting the game, I get a black screen and nothing happens... no matter how long I wait. The .iso file, however, just makes the FPse crash or something? It just goes back to my phone's "main screen".

After reading almost all posts in this thread, I downloaded the PocketISO3.2 and compressed my .iso file. I copied both compressed files to my SD card and loaded the .Z file from FPse... but that won't work either: it does the same thing as with the normal .iso: it looks like FPse crashes and it goes to the phone's "main screen". (What settings should I use with PocketISO3.2 btw? There are a lot of things to either check or uncheck and I have no idea which ones to check and which ones not... For this .iso I figured I should at least check the top one: it said FF8 )

And now I'm stuck. I've tried playing with all the settings of FPse, restarted the emulator a few times, restarted my DHD a few times, etc. When I see the posts of people posting logs and/or editing .ini files, I'm clueless. I have no idea how to view a log from my FPse and I don't know where to find the .ini file and how to edit it (and what to edit it to).

I'm pretty handy with pc's and stuff, but since this is all new to me, I dunno what to do. I really hope someone can help me get FFVIII to work. My Desire HD should be able to run it. But why isn't it even starting?


Thank you for your time and effort in advance ^^

have you tried other games? Final Fantasy 7,8 and 9 definitly work with Fpse..... Do other games work for you?

(so far, using PocketIso is not usefull for Fpse for Droid, only for FpseCE)

Or maybe have a look there, if the game is copy-protected

Nice! The "crack" from GameCopyWorld worked! FF8 is now working (no sound @ FMV though, but still...)
Thank you very much.

Switch on SPU Sync to get FMV music working and better in-game sound emulation. Needs a restart after selecting the option.

I now have the same problem on my samung galaxy s (android) with FPse 0.10.12. I beat the third form of Ultimecia and the final form won't come out...


Edit: With de 0.10.16, the final form of Ultimecia comes out but I can't see the last cinematic. I don't know if it is the case for all the cinematics but the only thing I can see is a grey screen with de sounds playing on the background. It's weird

To fix the grey screen problem during cinematics, makes sure that when you start the game each time you play, you load first from a battery save, and only then load a save state.
