Final Fantasy Tactics

How can I get it to work with ePSXe? I have been trying for hours, using lots of different settings and files, and it just displays a black screen for a minute and then crashes, no matter.

It's on my laptop:

i5
8 GB
SSD + HD
GeForce 840M 4GB (1920x1080)
Windows 8.1

I could get it to work in the past, but I don't know how I did it (and it was on totally different PCs).

I need glasses for that. I prefer it on my 41" monitor.

Edit: perhaps spekkio knows.

I seriously doubt ppsspp comes with a built in widescreen mod for old games like FF:T.

 

[SymbolicFrank]

Is the PSP version a better game?

Or, if it is equal: is it easier to get running on W8.1, on a large monitor?

 

[Delterius]

I seriously doubt ppsspp comes with a built in widescreen mod for old games like FF:T.

IIRC WotL is already widescreen, like most other PSP titles, so there's nothing special PPSSPP needs to do.

It actually zooms out the map when you maximize the program?

I would go for the PSP version with the slowdown removal patch. It has a better translation and more content.

How is the android port btw?

 

[SymbolicFrank]

Thanks! Ppsspp works right away.

Which part of using Retroarch you didn't get?



If you can't run a game in epsxe it's probably your own fault due to:
- craptop
- crapos
- epsxe not configurated
- no bios
- wrong image
- user is consolefag

Git gut, scrub.

 

[Mustawd]

to be fair, epsxe is a pain in the ass.

 

[CyberWhale]

Most of these emulators (especially those for home consoles) have option menus that seem to be written by people suffering from autism.

Craptop: laptop with dedicated nVidia GPU with 4 GB VRAM
Crapos: yes, unfortunately.
Epsxe not configured: tried many times. And I did get it to work on multiple other PCs in the past.
BIOS: of course. And tried many different ones.
Image: tried many different ones.
Consolefag: I'm phasing out windows for Linux.

But thanks for visiting.

I did get everything up and running, except for the slowdown patch. Which is indeed irritating.

The linked download isn't available anymore, I couldn't find another one, and inserting it as a cwpatch in ppsspp doesn't work, unfortunately. Another one form the forum doesn't work either.

I tried a few other cheats, and those do work.

Does any of you know how to fix that?

 

[SymbolicFrank]

Well, what can I say? Even with the minor irritations, it's still the best squad-based RPG ever.

I would want it to work and look like Fallout Tactics (The second-best), especially the controls, but whatever. It's still the best.

I'm pretty sure my link works, but whatever, I uploaded it to Dropbox for you: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ut5m0w2ln794th/Slowdown Fix Mark 2.zip?dl=0

I guess this means you haven't played Jagged Alliance 2?

PSP version is better and has more content. The only problem, as you've seen, is the slowdown. New translation is objectively better but I do miss the quirkiness of the original mentally handicapped translation. l i t t l e m o n e y

I applied it to the Euro ISO with the ppf-o-matic, but it doesn't work.

And I agree about JA2, but it's quite a different game.

How is the android port btw?

From what I understand it's WotL and it's the only version with some sprite smoothing or redrawing to a degree. I haven't played it myself, though.

I played most of FFT a long time ago. I had zero understanding of what was going on plotwise. I just don't have a head for these convoluted JRPG stories any more.

Doesn't help that the original translation was borderline nonsensical. WotL makes it read like actual Shakespearian English.

I did some research, and have read it was plagged by a bad save system, and you lose progress when the app is not running, which should happen quite often on a smartphone (like when someone tries to call you while you are playing, and you stupidly answer without saving first).

It does work, there was another problem. (The animations are loaded from disk, the one in my laptop powers down after 30 seconds.)

Thanks!

If you have PC retroarch is worst emulator of them all. IT is good for phones and consoles for which there isn't any alternative.

It is written by same dude who wrote and made tactics ogre so game story and dialogs (provided you play non retarded psp version) are better than 90% games codex think have amazing writing.

After you've played a few JRPGs everything becomes blurred together.

Its a JRPG where the young protagonist is a chump.
