#96 The Final StarOcean Bug Report (NOT ABOUT GFX!)
***NOTE: NO, ITS NOT ABOUT MISSING GFX ***
Hi,
first: don't bash me because I bring up this topic once
again. I think I read all bug reports and forum posts
about this by now but I couldn't find a definite
answer. I'm of course talking about the crashes with
Star Ocean: First the music mutes (or one voice mutes)
and shortly afterwards (often during a transition to a
new screen) the game just crashes.
So, could please someone who really knows what causes
this, answer here? Is it an emulation bug? Or caused by
patching (i.e. not present in the unpatched .jp
version)? Or did it happen on the original cart too?
Are there any chances of me being able to play through
this game anytime in the future? An updated DeJap
patch? Any workarounds?
Currently this bug is really annoying. First it only
happened from time to time, and I always had a savegame
from 2 minutes or so before. But now (I'm about to
enter Astral Cave right now) I can't even play for 2
minutes without the game crashing. My strategy at the
moment is: run inside Astral Cave, fight the first
battle, notice that the sound is muted, run back out
again, and save. Then I keep running in and out of the
cave until I hear the music again and fight another
battle. And so on. Nice tactics for leveling up but I
really want to get *through* Astral Cave somehow ;-)
Thanks for clearing things up

P.S.: Yes, I tried the recent WIP snapshot (Dec-06),
even without the graphic pack, but the crashes remain.
