final fantasy 8 has copy protection and you may find you need to patch your iso to make it work you can find these at
http://www.ngemu.com/misc.php?action=ppf

as for sound issues you can try changing
LastSPU=0peopspu109.dll to LastSPU=peopspu109.dll
its better to do this in the game specific cfg as it may not be the best plugin for all games

Thanks Tony,
How is your sound after changing the plugin?
Mine still isn't 100% and it doesn't appear to be working in the FMV's, is yours the same?
Thanks

my sound isnt perfect either but netter then before im sure i had sound in cutsceens will have to double check tho
hopefully sound emulation is improved in newer releases

Nice, thanks for the update, appreciate it

I'm having issues with the FMVs (Full Motion Videos)... either the game will enter into a black screen and just hang, or where there is ingame FMVs in the background, I get a grayed out background and the characters showing on screen.

I've tried two different ISO's.

Any ideas?

This was happening with FF9 as well. I just had to guess when a FMV was going to start and make sure I saved just before it. And then quickly relaunch FPSECE and load the game which would cause the sound to not load, but the videos to work.

Really frustrating.

I'm have the HTC HD2 and latest supporters version of fpsece.

Can someone please re-up the patch for this game, because the link is down and i dont know how to make this iso/game working.

Thanks a lot

You can download any patches you need here *dead link removed*. You also need PPF-O-Matic v3.0, which you can find on the same website.
There is an alternative option to patching: If you have a cd drive that can read sub-channels, you can simply rip the sub-channel data when making your image. Then you shouldn't need a patch to fix your ISOs.

Sorry, if you click on the download @ the website it is not possible to download any file....sorry :(

links updated thanks cloud shame megagames moved patches to there other site thats full of popups n adds

i'm testing FF8 on my HD 2 and i've got a lot of problems ....
i patched it with PPF

in the beginning when i go to Ifrit cave, in every fight screen, color is not red (volcano landscape) but blue and if i fight more than 1/2 min fpsece crash...
so i had to passed this cave on fpse
i almost noticed that the Squaresoft logo at game launching is not red but blue too ....

now i'm in the first war with Seifer leader (beginning too) when i reach the tower, selfie is coming with a video introducing her. again fpsece crash just before this video

i've tried a lot of things (other bios, change a lot of .ini setting, redo my iso ....) but can't resolve it ...

EDIT:
ok, i'Ve found why It crashed...
i put LastSPU=peopspu109.dll for better sound but some sound were like on loop
so i tried with RunSPUsync=on and sound turn really good so i kept it.
but it was because of RunSPUsync=on that fpsece crashed, i turn it off the Some sound turned loop again but fpsece stopped crashing.
so my question is :
is there a way to keep RunSPUsync=on without crash ??
