Final Fantasy 9 IX PSX PAL

This is Final Fantasy 9 (IX) for PSX, enjoy it and here is a guide on how to play it on your computer: if u have anyproblem with setting up your video configuration here is a GREAT site that tells u what config u should have on a specific game: http://www.lordkane.co.uk/ 1. To unzip the 7z file download the 7-Zip here http://www.7-zip.org/ 2. Now you can either burn it or mount it. I will describe how u can mount it. If you want to burn it u need to do it on your own. 3. When it is unziped u need to get Daeomon Tools so u can mount the image, get it here http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/download.php 4. When the image is mounted u need to play it in a PSX emulator, i suggest ePSXe, thats the best one, get it here http://www.epsxe.com/download.php 5. To use the PSX emulator u need to get a BIOS file, search the internet or other p2p networks to find it, it is called SCPH1001.BIN and is about 0,5 MB big 6. In order to play this game u need to install some plugins, download and install/extract these plugins in the plugins folder: 6.1 Pete's Video plugin, for best video, get it here http://www.ngemu.com/download.php?action=plugin&id=7 6.2 Pete's Sound plugin, for best sound, get it here http://www.ngemu.com/download.php?action=plugin&id=23 6.3 Pete's CD plugin, get it here http://www.ngemu.com/download.php?action=plugin&id=35 6.4 Input plugin, get it here http://www.ngemu.com/download.php?action=plugin&id=52 7. After installing the plugins start up ePSXe go through the install wizard step by step 7.1 Video, choose Pete's video plugin for your graphic card, then press Config and then press the "Nice" button at the button to get good settings that works good with these FF games 7.2 if u dont want to play in full screen u can change that at the top by choosing window mode 7.3 Choose Pete's Sound plugin and press next, dont need to change any config. 7.4 Choose Pete's CD plugin (P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver 1.4) and press config, Select your interface at the top, if u have W2K or XP choose the raw reading one. then select what drive the game is mounted in and press ok 7.5 finally change the controllers or keep them as they are, u decide.. 8. To load the mounted image just press File and then Run CDROM. if u want to load a real ps cd that u have in your drive u need to change the drive in Pete's CD plugin (P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver 1.4) to the specific drive. 9. thats all, hope it works, if u bump in to any problems, just post it here and ill try to help. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU EXPERIENCING RANDOM BATTLE FREEZES AT DISC3 READ THIS: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is because disc3 is damaged. Just re-download disc3 it elsewhere: http://www.emuparadise.org !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet! Thanks a lot! :D

jussilas (2005-06-28)

I have a problem with a movie from the first cd... The movie starts right after i leave the town of dali with the zeppelin and it plays about 5 secs and then tilts. ive tried both ntcs and pal version but i've allways bumped into this problem. Can anyone help?

Stonkie (2005-06-28)

I downloaded it in 6 hours!!!

patrikzidane (2005-06-28)

jussilas: what are u running it on? playstation? emulator?
if u are running it on playstation it could be errors on the cd when u burned it.. if u are running it on an emulator try using my guide up here and visit http://www.lordkane.co.uk/ for best video configuration on FF 9... try and describe a little more, how many different releases have u tried or how many times have u burned it and so on.

creep (2005-06-28)

uhm.. it's black and white for me = NTSC ?

patrikzidane (2005-06-28)

creep: give me some more information dude... did u burn it? did u use my guide? are u using an emulator? have u installed the plugins? be smart and give a bit more information before u post...

creep (2005-06-28)

It was NTSC, I patched it to PAL and it all works fine now. I'm playing it on my playstation, no emulator. got the color back

patrikzidane (2005-06-28)

i just ran it in ePSXe with PAL settings.. meaning it acts like a PAL playstation and it worked fine, i got colors and everything.. ohwell, it works, dosnt matter if its PAL or NTSC because its so easy to fix, either with the colors or patching it to PAL..

creep (2005-06-28)

hehe yeah... well it may be my chip who's acting wierd.. i patched it wit PAL4U, http://www.pal4u2000.com, works with most of the games :) it's very easy and simple to use too.. anyhow, thanks for this game patrikzidane!

Stonkie (2005-06-30)

I forgot to mention I was running 7 other bittorrent downloads at the same time... What I meant is that it is a record, I haven't found any other source for this game that went 1/10 of that speed (I thought it was obvious, since most of the time it goes at something like 3-4 kb/s and and takes near 100-120 hours...)!

cphp (2005-06-30)

"I have a problem with a movie from the first cd... The movie starts right after i leave the town of dali with the zeppelin and it plays about 5 secs and then tilts. ive tried both ntcs and pal version but i've allways bumped into this problem. Can anyone help?"
I have the same problem. I`ve tryed every video configuration but with no succes. I guess the movie is broken or something. What do you guys say? Should I start downloading from other torrent. But it`s kind of difficult becouse I have only 30Kb/s at high speed.

cphp (2005-06-30)

Yey, yey, yey, happy, happy, happy. Guess what I`ve made it! I`ve downloaded epsxe 1.52 and it works with this version. The movie is running. Hope that I will not encounter any other problems.

cphp (2005-06-30)

Oh, I forgot to say that the problem appears only if you`re using epsxe 1.60. This version has problems with ffIX.

patrikzidane (2005-06-30)

yup, exactly what i wouldhave writen if u warnt so dam fast answering your own posts :D FF IX does not work well with ePSXe 1.6.0.... shouldhave seen that one comming but sry for not writing it before.. jsut forgot it but now its brought up which is good.. so to everyone: USE ePSXe 1.5.2 WITH FINAL FANTASY 9 (IX) SINCE THERE IS A GLITCH WITH ePSXe 1.6.0 WITH THIS GAME

bobmarley (2005-07-04)

ill start seeding right away thx for the good game

ericson86 (2005-07-04)

Ello!! I got a problem on disc3. when the beasts and the final boss in the desert palace does sleep, poison or thundaga the the characters just stand still or the whole game just crash. Someone know how i can solve this prob?

patrikzidane (2005-07-04)

i recently found this out to by someone else telling me this but i can confirm it since i havnt tested it myself...

Devilz91 (2005-07-04)

Man, why's the graphics so crappy? Is it my graphics card? I have a GeForce MX/MX 400. Thanks.

ericson86 (2005-07-05)

Visit http://www.pbernert.com/html/gpu.htm and download the v 1.76 plugin.. Works fine for me

cphp (2005-07-06)

I need a little help here.
Anyone knows a software for burning .img files on cds?
I was trying to convert .img into .iso with ultra iso and then I loaded ffix.iso to epsxe but the game hadn`t run.

italian_Mafioso (2005-07-07)

kyger (2005-07-10)

kolink (2005-07-11)

[Kaiser]

dead_dog (2005-07-11)

patrikzidane your 'stealing' the game too, so shut up

Devilz91 (2005-07-12)

How can I fix the problem with the boss in Disc 3 at the Desert Palace? Thundaga freezes the game.

italian_Mafioso (2005-07-13)

Devil try to beat it before it casts it thats wat i did

Devilz91 (2005-07-14)

Yeah, but now I have the same prob with the Earth Guardian too..

Devilz91 (2005-07-15)

Ok I beat everything now you just have to worry about that dude in the palace the Earth Guardian and Kuja you can use Thundaga in Disc 4.

Jakut (2005-07-18)

The game freezes on the cut scene where you leave that doll making village in the cargo ship.

Devilz91 (2005-07-20)

You use ePSXe 1.52 and it should work fine, I beat the game already.

Taklus (2005-07-20)

I'v got a small problem on disc 3. in the desert temple when I'm going to take some magic using stone thing boss. (it's after that airship boss where u can't use magic). the battle starts out fine, but when it use thunder magic the game just stop. everything is moving and working, but the attack won't come. do u know how I can fix this?

pulpfict0n (2005-07-20)

how to fix this : in the desert palace does sleep, poison or thundaga the the characters just stand still or the whole game just crash!!!!!
plz help ( i use 1.52,everyting is perfect exept this )

Jinn_Reeso (2005-07-21)

Ive got a problem whenever i do battles...The intro to the battle goes really slowly but after about 10 seconds it goes to normal speed...Anything to fix it?

Jinn_Reeso (2005-07-22)

I'm using ePSXe & i followed instructions...anyone?

Zobie (2005-07-24)

erg... 3 seeds 30 leechers? cmon people!

dk86 (2005-07-24)

In the desert palace the stone boss only uses 3 attacks - thundaga blizzaga and firaga, thundaga of which crashes the game 100% of the time. I am wondering how you are suppoused to beat this guy, i've already restarted it about 20+ times only to have him use thundaga on the first or 2nd turn each time.

dk86 (2005-07-24)

or better yet if there is a fix availible... everything has worked fine to this point, i use 1.52... its confirmable that it is only a disc 3 problem as well, snice i got thundaga casted on me by dragons earlier in the game. Is there a seperate disc 3 image to DL somewhere? if that is in the probleM?

Devilz91 (2005-07-24)

Ya need to be good enough to kill em. I have a save right before the final boss if you want it tha badly...

pulpfict0n (2005-07-24)

Give me ur save after the boss in desert palace, its the only way for me to continue my game :(
(i wish u have good level caracter ,alot of weapon and money :) )

pulpfict0n (2005-07-25)

!!! ok forget all , i finish desert palace and beat the boss , whit many try , i have to kill monster and boss realy fast before they use some magic who freeze the game.

Devilz91 (2005-07-25)

I don't have a save right after the boss...but you're going to have the same problem with Earth Guardian, the dude in Pandemonium, and Kuja. Good luck.

dk86 (2005-07-26)

I was wondering if you recall what level your party was, which party members you used and any particular strategies you used for beating these bosses quick enough so that they don't cast thundaga before you defeat them

dk86 (2005-07-27)

the stone boss in the palace i finally beat after numerous tries, the earth guardian i did as well since he wasn't even as hard. reaosn being since he has a lot of other possible attacks that he can use. Now i'm to the point where im trying to fight Kuja, but it seems pretty impossible to drain all his HP down as it looks like every turn he has a 50% chance to use Thundaga(with his other spell being demi). If you know of some trick or tactic to get around this that would be great

dk86 (2005-07-27)

i dunno if my % are wrong or i just have really bad luck, i've been reloading the game continuously off savestate on him, and i counted, he casted thundaga to start off the fight 24/25 times that i fought him. the one time that he casted demi first, he casted thundaga on the 2nd turn

MattMacD (2005-07-27)

This is most definately NTSC, not PAL.

Devilz91 (2005-07-27)

Anyone who wants my save...add me on [email protected]

Devilz91 (2005-07-27)

On second thought..the boss isn't that hard. He only has 12K hp...let's say you have either Quina or Steiner in the party, if Steiner has Shock then that'd be 9999, if Quina has Limit Glove have her start at 1 hp for a quick 9999 dmg.

skydragon (2005-07-29)

umm...I really need some help. I have all the plugins and everything is fine, but when i load the BIN file with deamon tool, i get a black screen. Do you have MSN?

Black Mage (2005-07-29)

I Need some help too,,
Ive downloaded it perfectly...for the PSX, no use of emulator.
cd's 2, 3 and 4 work perfectly...
but CD1, i really dont know what to put
on an empty cd to let it work...

Can some1 help me out?

Black Mage (2005-07-29)

ohh, i found it...

Countrylunatic (2005-08-01)

To beat the Boss in the desert place. Cast Reflect on all party members ( Carbunkle ) and then have vivi cast blizarra or any stronger spell on all of your party members instead of just one. With blizzarra I did anywhere from 3000 to 4000 damage. Then round it off with Tsunami from Dagger/Garnet. A couple of rounds is all it should take.

stickyfingaz (2005-08-01)

WOrks just fine for me!.. :)

funiek (2005-08-02)

Do you know some cheats that I can beat this desert boss in one hit or something like that??

Lenneth (2005-08-03)

Poison freeses the game =(
Any way to avoid that?
I tryed both 1.60 and 1.52 they do the same thing

Jinn_Reeso (2005-08-04)

Can anyone try to help me fix my problem?
Using Daemon Tools, epsxe 1.6 & 1.53, everything else was working fine up until I finished with Lindblum on Disc 1...I can do 1 battle and then im running around on the world map & it just freezes...anyone?

Devilz91 (2005-08-04)

Okay, I'll say this once.
Desert Palace: Avoid fighting battles, to make the boss easier you can have Quina kill herself, then use Auto-Life followed by Limit Glove, and the rest of the guys can just attack.
Earth Guardian: Have Zidane in trance, if you can't then Quina needs to use the Limit Glove trick as stated above, don't bother stealing and have Zidane attack, or Thievery if it does a decent amount of damage.
The second forced battle in Pandemonium: Kill off Quina to bring Zidane in, because when he does go in the boss' health resets, Steiner should use Shock if available and Zidane uses physicals (or Thievery).
Kuja: Eiko summons Carbuncle to prevent Thundaga from being used; but Flare Star will be constant, so end the battle quickly.

Fusti (2005-08-05)

OK i've played Final fantasy IX with only 2 problems To cd 4
1.St is when you get the airship. Press like f4 f5 and it worked for me(it usally freezes)
2. When entering a battle It goes pretty slow.(Its an emubug you can't fix it) lower your graphics makes it go some faster but still slow.

Fusti (2005-08-05)

also use ePSXe 1.6.0

Fusti (2005-08-05)

Heres a trick also when you get quina and get Doom lvl5 go to the hard dragons that can kill you in like one hit and use doom lvl 5 with quina you get massexp in beginning of the game :)

Jinn_Reeso (2005-08-06)

Fusti I did everything you said & pressed F4 F5 in all sorts of combinations with each other but no kudos. Anything else I should try? Anyone?

skydragon (2005-08-07)

someone wanna help me? =

skogen211 (2005-08-10)

Stuck on Airship cd1 it freezes
did as Fusti said but didnt work for me
1.St is when you get the airship. Press like f4 f5 and it worked for me(it usally freezes)
please help out!

WildChild123 (2005-08-10)

I get pass that bug on airship by changing the video config lower and after i get pass that i changed that back.

wrajjt (2005-08-11)

Having trouble mounting some of the discs, those are are missing a .ccd-file. Anyone know how to mount those?

Devilz91 (2005-08-11)

Read all the comments in this page before asking more questions which have already been answered.
And use ePSXe 1.52 for this game, because there are several FMVs which will not work with the 1.60 version.

skydragon (2005-08-13)

But how do you get it to work? All I see if a damn black screen. >.

Narpas (2005-08-15)

A disc 3 solution is on the way! The Disc 3 included with this file is damaged. There is no emulator fix that can be provided - all that can be done is to beat enemies quickly and keep saving/loading. Right now, however, I'm sending the account [email protected], password UltraPro, a *working* disc 3 img file. I've tested this myself. It should be sent by ten o'clock, August 14. If someone would be so kind, would they either:
Provide this file in a seperate torrent on this site, or
Update this current torrent with the new img file.
I really appriciate this site, but I also don't know - nor do I care to know - how to set up a torrent. I've got the file, you guys can play with it. :-D
Hope this helps people!

skydragon (2005-08-16)

Alright, got this game working. I got a question. During the sword-fighting chapter near the begining, does it seem fast? I can't keep up LOL

Devilz91 (2005-08-17)

Perhaps you have accidentally sped up the game by pressing one of those buttons on the Delete Menu (accessed by pressing Delete). It's the button called FL or something. Don't use FS though, as it will crash your game at some point.

Devilz91 (2005-08-17)

Narpas, a Disc 3 solution would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise it'd be impossible to finish my level 1 game.

Rickets (2006-01-03)

HI, im using a BIN/CUE format of this game on my xbox and i can't get from disc 1 to disc 2 -yeah, i'm at THAT part - i load the new .bin and the insert correct disc screen shows up.
any help?

ensomulv (2006-01-06)

My game freezes on the cutscene where the Cargo Ship takes off on CD1, any way to fix that?

ensomulv (2006-01-06)

Nevermint that problem. It just happens on the newest version of ePSXe 1.60. The problem didn't occur on th 1.52 version of it..

vincetheprince (2006-01-23)

did anybody get trough this game without disc 3 problems??> please answer couse don' t wanna start the game if i won't be able to finish it :/

timpash (2006-02-05)

All my files are broken!
Thats the message i get when I try to unzip these files.
I've downloaded it three times, and nothing changes.
Ive tried to unzip it with winrar and 7-Zip.
Can someone help me? I've been looking around for this game for a long time.

Leadce (2006-02-08)

Seed please!

Bfn666 (2006-02-16)

Yo,guys...what does PSX mean??If thats some kinda emulator,why is so much buzz?
9 steps + i-net crap.If i have that PSX,does this meen that i can play the game?+is something wrong to the files?

Bfn666 (2006-02-16)

Can i play it on PC(i gues i can becouse of that BIOS explanation,but i wanna be shure)?

greestune (2006-02-26)

i'm also troubled with the bug due to thundaga, so after alot of cursing / quickloading at the boss in the sand-palace, i had to do the worst, used gameshark code and reduced his mana to zero, so the boss terminated. a shame, but i know i would have no problem killing him, powerful chars :)

for the gameshark utility,
DONT USE IT FOR OTHER THAN GETTING PAST THE BOSS! you DONT want to cheat anymore than that!

Masja (2006-03-01)

thanks for putting in so much detail in the description :)

inom_parantes (2006-03-09)

a'it, I follow'd the directions but still the dialogs and all the texts in the game is all messed upp?
what's wrong?
and what happend to that working Disc 3, the game frezzes after the dessert palace?
(peace)

Masja (2006-03-10)

I don´t really get with what you mean with messed up? and yeah the game freezes in disc3 in the desert palace when you fight these weird creatures, kinda sucks if I find anything to fix it I´ll post it

Masja (2006-03-10)

well I think the best thing you can do is to play the game with epsxe 1.5.2 or below. cos it dont crash that much comparing to 1.6.0, I also read somewhere that if u do use 1.6.0 that the game wont work in the long run.

Masja (2006-03-11)

after downloading disc3 from another torrent I found out that the problem is in disc3 itself heh(should have read narpas post), better look for another ff9 torrent, I don´t think its forth downloading something that does not work

inom_parantes (2006-03-18)

somone that got a working disc 3, don't feel for making it in to a new torrent??

inom_parantes (2006-04-05)

Mylano (2006-05-04)

i got a problem here. i downloaded the ePSXe 1.2.5 for FF IX and everything works fine. I downloaded the Video plugin but it doesn't work. If I go to Config at the menu at the top There is already a sound plugin and a cdrom plugin. But I can't choose a Video Plugin. who can help me quick!!!!

mondragon52369 (2006-05-05)

But when I board the airship for the first time (disc 1) the game crashes!!!
Do you know what the problem is?

Kaonashi (2006-05-10)

tekei (2006-05-16)

Thank you inom_parantes :) You seem to be correct though.. the torrent could be dead :/

tekei (2006-05-16)

inom_parantes, would you have the oportunity to upload the working version of disc 3 here on PB? That would be awesome :D

cthulhufhtagn (2006-05-19)

I think the same distribution as iron_parantes linked to is indexed on www.isohunt.com. The name is
"PS X Final Fantasy IX" (note the space in PSX). It's barely alive.

PETRUS(HUN) (2006-05-19)

How do you make the menu to get up in the game,i can´t even change equipment or check the items?

kingofallworlds (2006-08-08)

Thai, from the ePSXe, go to Config, then click on Game Pad. From there, edit the triangle button to whatever key of your choice and in the game, press that button you assigned triangle to.

kingofallworlds (2006-08-08)

I have a problem with disc 4, after I beat disc 3 and it tells me to switch to disc 4; I do and the screen goes black. I tried to redo the change disc and tried to continue from disc 4 directly, but both theories ended up in vain. Can anybody tell me the solution? I really really want to beat the game I spent so long playing!

ewil_ (2006-08-11)

Please help me, my ePSXe console crashes when i'm going out of The icecave. I've tried to use 1.52 instead of 1.60 but it makes no differens. And i have also installed the recommended plugins. Help, anyone?

kingofallworlds (2006-08-11)

ewil, you probably have a corrupt file. You can solve this by either downloading the torrent again or you can just find another torrent, your memory should be saved in your ePSXe so it's okay to get another FF9 torrent.

Kantan (2006-10-12)

The game plays nice for me. I'm already on disk and so far I can say that there are zero problems. Especially when I put it on my other computer which is a XPS. Then it just plays smooooooth...

Kantan (2006-10-12)

Sylvanis (2006-11-20)

I get it to start with iso mount but to runs to fast
and i dont know how to fix it
and can i play with the keyboard or do i need a usb psx controler?

kt_leohart (2006-11-26)

For all of you who are going to play this with an emulator, use ePSXe 1.5.2 for best compatibility.
Also, in the settings, choose to Limit your Frame Rate or your fast computer is gonna push the game really fast.

bamtherandom (2006-11-28)

babiankrusbaer (2006-12-27)

jag har fått det att funka men när ja börjar spela det så är det som om att allt är fram spolat... liksom allting går i super speed... varför är det så? jag hade först USA bios men ja ändrade den sen till PAL (europa) när ja såg mitt fel, men det är ändå snabb fart på spelet... varför?

babiankrusbaer (2006-12-27)

ops wrong language, i made it work but when im going to play it it is like everything is on fast forward... everything is just extream fast. i first had the Bios on USA but then i changed it to PAL, but it is still fast... why?

0megear (2006-12-27)

Knut12345 (2007-02-23)

Hi! I really need some help right now! I managed to get past all the shit in disc 3.. finally:) And startet disc 4, everything worked fine.. then i closed the game, and the next time i tried to play disc 4 didnt work.. anybody know what to do? dont understand why it suddenly stoped working..

Kapazza (2007-02-25)

Alright...someone posted that they uploaded a disc 3 to a gmail account, but someone else changed the password or deleted that account. Does anyone have a working disc 3 (no Thundaga, Poison, etc. errors) that they could upload to another gmail account? Or if there is an existing working disc 3 could someone upload it here or link me? I'm at the end, and Kuja keeps casting Thundaga for his first move...thanks if you can help!

Inkbloot (2007-02-28)

A note to everyone with problems:
You can find a host of completely working emulators and roms at emuparadiseDOTorg--I got all four discs for FFIX as well as a working emulator for them, and didn't have to use Daemon Tools or anything--all you need is WinRAR to extract everything. Just get ePSXe 1.5.2 as the emulator (not a later version because it causes a problem with certain sections of the game), and voila. If anyone needs more help, contact me at o0whimsicat0oATgmailDOTcom. :) Enjoy! It might take a bit of time and searching to configure everything, but it IS worth it.

Dravick (2007-03-09)

Ok, Uhh... im a total noob when it comes to emulators. And im not understanding this "step by step" thing. i have 7-zip, and Daemon tools. I dont think i un-zipped the files or messed up somewhere. And i have no clue how to "mount" anything. I have yet to DL the actual emulator atm... dont want to waste the time to do it if i cant get any help. So if somone could post or e-mail me a "noob step-by-step" that would be awesome.

kap0808 (2007-03-15)

i was wondering. what might be wrong. the file when i play it off an iso is running at like 20x speed. is there anything i can do to slow it down to normal speed?

SM-- (2007-03-15)

Hey kap0808, if youre running epsxe you can go to the config, select video and it should show your current video plugin. There select configure and you should see this thing called FPS limiter.
Put a tick to "use FPS limit" box and make sure "auto-detect FPS/Frame skipping limit" is also ticked.

Vegard3 (2007-03-18)

I have followed the steps posted here and i think i should have everything right but all i get is a black screen, im using epsxe 1.52 and im mounting the cd with daemon tools does any1 know what is wrong? I read somewhere that i have to patch the game but i dont know how to do that... thanks ;)

Vegard3 (2007-03-18)

test

ArvindAAA (2007-03-25)

Errrr what do I burn to what disc
im a noooobbb

BamProd (2007-03-25)

Alright, I thought I'd just clear some stuff out:
CD 3 in this torrent is damaged. It freezes when you or enemies use spells like thundaga, watera, poison and so on. It's not a emulation error, it's the file.
Don't fret though, it's fixable.
What I did to solve this was to follow Inkbloot's advice and download a new CD3 from emuparadiseDOTorg (replace the DOT with a . of course). It's a bit of a drag, since you have to go through their voting policies and shit, but you want the goddamn game to work, right?
Do like this:
1 Click your way through the site until you get to ff9 cd3
2. Do their annoying but understandable voting thing. (it's not THAT annoying, it's just three clicks, no popups, bullshit or anything)
3 Download away!
It's 9 rar files in total, and you can only DL one at a time. But it's better than having to stop playing when you've spent over 10 hours on it already, riiiiight?
Anyways, I'm real happy I got it to work fairly easy without having to use a gameshark or use some really complicated tactic to kill the bosses. I hope you get it to work too.
For the Airship leaves Dali in CD1 and it crashes problem: I just changed emulator. Save to a memcard and open it with another emu, like Psxeven, go through the FMV, then save to memcard and open it with epsxe again.
Other people have solved it easier though: just download an earlier version of ePSXe... and it will work! Now why didn't I just read these comments first thing intead of spending hours trying to get it to work myself?
...well, at least I've got the "yay, I got it to work myself" feeling.
Hope at least one FF lover gets their problem solved by this, otherwise I've wasted a perfectly fine 10 minutes of my life.

ArvindAAA (2007-03-25)

Do I burn all of the file in the golder for trhe disc
has anyone got all of te files some one please writre the file formats n each folder

bahamuraga (2007-04-04)

BamProd, thank you!
Your 10 minutes did not go to waste

babiankrusbaer (2007-04-06)

When i get to a boss in cd 3, he is casting thundaga and then it all stops... or like the game continues but the guy (the stone guy at desert palace) never casts his spell..... what should i do? i tested the game on differents emolators like ePSXe 1.6 and 1.5.2 and PSXeaven but its the same problem... (sorry for my bad english..)

babiankrusbaer (2007-04-06)

ops i should write that i cant do something with my guys.. they just like standing there... they are not freezed.. like they are moving ecept i cant make a move with them...

Mladi_Kralj (2007-04-23)

I am new here, I new in this, so I don't know how to even download.

f90 (2007-04-24)

is that sh*t only for emulator?cannot burn to psx(NOT EMULATOR ON PC)have tried 10 times and just dont start. other burned games work fine but this torrent is totally shit(expext on emulator)or can some1 just tell how to burn on cd and its will work?(sorry fo bad english)

zxheroxz (2007-04-28)

I'm just getting a black screen when I use ePSXe. Help please.

Icecore (2007-04-28)

I've had so much bed hitting due to Thundaga. I am hurt for life. Whenever I see the word Thundaga my eyes go black.
After countless hours of problems, I'm donwloading a new cd from EmuParadise at around 150kb/s (server is in Florida, I'm in Europe) so thanks for the link BamProd!

Icecore (2007-04-28)

Also for the other users. YOU DONT HAVE TO BURN THE CDS!
File->Run ISO
and select your file. But CD 3 in this torrent is corrupt and I recommend you to get another one from emuparadise. You can play through it but you will need to load a lot of times when the monsters use the "corrupt" skills.
Oh yeah, you need espxe 1.5.2 if you dont want the game to crash at the video sequences.
There is another good PSX emulator at www.ngemu.com which is called "PSXemu". You cannot use special plugins but the emulator is the best choice for the beginner who almost only want to start the emulator, load the ISO and go.

Jaxoni (2007-05-01)

well basically this torrent seems to be pretty old, cant find the cd3 from emuparadise, any chance ppl could hook me up with new link for it

FrostRose (2007-05-16)

Just a warning. THIS IS NOT PAL.
let me repeat that for ANY european playstation owner who doesn't want a black and white FF9;
THIS IS NTSC-U. NOT PAL. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE IN A PAL PLAYSTATION, THE GAME WILL BE BLACK AND WHITE.
Geez, if you don't know what region it is, at least don't waste people's time with false info. Now i have to download the entire game again elsewhere. =(

dyls187 (2007-06-25)

the game works fine on my pc... however my brother deleted the first disk and the rar file i cant dl the whole thing all over again so i was wondering if someone can send me the first save from disk 2 or upload a the first disk torrent? please

nojokes (2007-07-01)

can i play this on a ps2?

liamforester2002 (2007-07-10)

Downloaded the torrent and I'm able to mount images for Disc 2 and 3 but the equivilent files for Disc 1 and 4 seem to be missing. Example;
For Disc 1 I have two files; I have a Bin file that is 723,355kb and an image file that is 1kb and won't mount on daemon.
For Disc 2 however, I have a four files; 1 CCD, 1 SUB and 2 image files, one of the image files being nearly 700MB and will mount.
Did the download simply miss some of the file or am I being stupid?
I know I'm probably missing summit obvious but any kinda explanation at all would be really appreciated!

liamforester2002 (2007-07-10)

Basically, how and what do I mount for Disc 1, please!

Zinskey (2007-07-12)

I have the same problem as "Vegard3" and "zxheroxz", but I downloaded my FFIX from and this is what I did after downloading it.
1. I downloaded the ePSXe v1.5.2 instead of running the v160 version because people said it wasn't so good for this game.
2. I took some files from the "old" epsxe160 folder that I also got for downloading "Final Fantasy IX (PAL)" and put them into my "new" epsxe152 folder like the bios, memcards, plugins etc.
3. I ran the ePSXe.exe
4. Pressed Config>Wizard Guide
5. Followed the that patrikzidan wrote.
6. After I was done with the Wizard Guide I pressed File>Run CDROM>screen turns black
If someone knows what's wrong, please help me and the others that got the same problem as I have. Don't ignore this PLEASE!

Zinskey (2007-07-12)

btw here's the link to the FFIX download on emuparadise,

Zinskey (2007-07-12)

"3. When it is unziped u need to get Daeomon Tools so u can mount the image, get it here
What ''image file" do you mean by that? cue, bin or the image inside the bin/cue?

Zinskey (2007-07-12)

wtf is this, I cant mount cue into daemon, and fireburner cant find BIN file! what is happening? -.-

Zinskey (2007-07-12)

fuck this crap its all fuckeed up no1 can't even answer what I'm writing

Zinskey (2007-07-14)

HAHA it works now! I patched it with Pal4U. Thanks to everyone that helped me with their oppinions and comments. Bye bye :)

Zinskey (2007-07-14)

I got 2 problems. When I go into battle, the battle screen (attack, magic etc) blinks. The sound is also a little weird in FMV's it "hacks", dont know how to put it :p It doesn't go as usual ...

Lakis_TXC (2007-07-20)

PLEASE, PLEEEASE somenone tell me how to get past that "Unable to mount image, file not accessible" message in daemon tools! I've tried everything, even patched it with pal4u and I still get the same bloody message! HELP, I'm going insane...!

ffx_seyha (2007-07-24)

i use ePSXe 1.60. it work perfectly with the iso. You guys don need to burn the image to disc. just click on: file-> run iso. Then select the the iso you wanna load. that's it.
the plugin i used are:
Video-> Pete's DX6 D3D driver 1.75
Sound-> Pete's MIDAS audio driver 1.3
CD-rom-> SaPu's Cd-rom Plugin

ffx_seyha (2007-07-24)

But i got a problem after a few hours
the game crash in the middle of the FMV in Dali village when the air ship take off.
i tried the FMV patch but it seems that it fix only the sound glitch.
i think it's the problem of the iso file. anybody got an idea?

piggo123 (2007-07-26)

i have the exact same problmen like ffx_seyha adn the wierd thing is that it happends when the cargo ship take off. And i've tested different iso, img and bin files so that shouldn't be the problem.

ReidoII (2007-07-28)

to mount the first and last disks, just change the .bin to .img
worked for me

Yojikinz (2007-07-31)

People, for .bin and .cue files YOU MOUNT THE TINY 1KB .CUE FILE.
That should solve your problems. Thank you.

Yojikinz (2007-08-02)

Lawl, bug. Game gets stuck when trying to enter Qu's Marsh on the Mist Continent.

filsp (2007-08-06)

DISC 3 BUG SOLUTION
Download proper NTSC FF9 copy.
Saves made by current copy are NTSC-compatible (not PAL!).
Proper copy (with subchannel data) can be downloaded from:

Tested OK!
From that package you can download disk 3 only.

tjobrysh (2007-08-11)

When im gonna leave the village the game like crashes I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!! its always at the same time and its not my graphic card coz ive seen other wmvs

filsp (2007-08-12)

tjobrysh:
If you use ePSXe 1.60 try ePSXe 1.52.
If it will not help, be more specific: which disc? which village? do you use CD o emulator? which emulator? which version?...

tjobrysh (2007-08-14)

Ill try that its the village after the ice cave. when they are going for lindblum before you fight the monsters in lindlbum on cd 1 im using 1.6.0

Shadowspoon (2007-08-24)

Right, I'm having a bit of a problem. So I unzip the file, inside I find 4 other files with a .65 extension.
And I can't do anything with these files, I re-named them - didn't work, tried mounting it - didn't work, tried opening them in winrar, 7zip and winzip.
Nothing works. AmI missing something simple?

Shadowspoon (2007-08-24)

Ignore me, I was opening the wrong thing. Its working perfectly so far. Thanx.

ximeon (2007-09-08)

So, another guy with a problem. I downloaded the torrent, and the 4 CD-iso's could ofc not be extracted with either winrar or 7-zip, so I mounted CD1 instead. Seemed to be the right thing to do, as I know had some files to work with. I copied the mounted files onto my harddrive, and then tried to mount the image-file on CD1 (E:\Final Fantasy 9\CD1\"FF9") where "FF9" is the file. Then I used the ePSXe 1.5.2 emulator with the bios and plugins that are suggested, and I tried to run both CD-Rom and ISO-files. When I do so, I just get the black screen. Nothing else. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

bobjones3124 (2007-09-08)

Alright guys, for those of you who are getting the bug on the first cd during the fmv (after you just beat the mage, and you take off on the airship), I have a solution!
-Download eppsxe version 1.52
-Copy over all your old plugins
-Boot up FF9 in 1.6, and save at the inn before you head to the airship.
Do this because save states aren't transferable between different epsxe versions, but memory card saves are.
-So after you save at the inn, exit epsxe, copy the memory card save into the memory card folder of version 1.52.
-Boot up ff9 in 1.52, load the memory card save from the inn, enjoy!
BTW
the iso isn't corrupt, because i loaded the actual game from the cd, and got the same bug. for whatever reason, 1.6 doesn't like ff9.

bobjones3124 (2007-09-08)

And if anyone isn't able to get to that inn (you don't have a save until after you decide to get on the ship), let me know and i'll email you my memory card file.

ximeon (2007-09-09)

Alright, I tossed around some files to desperately try to make the whole thing work, found out that I can easily access the bios. also, I patched my CD1 with the file "SLES_029.ppf" - I simply renamed the original file "SLES_029.65" , removed the .65 extension and added .pff instead. I ran the patched file, and got more than just the black screen. I reached the trainer (cheat page). However, pressing the X-button makes the music loop for 1 or 2 secs, and the whole thing crashes, giving me the possibility to send an error report or choose not to. You know, the usual thing.
Anyone got a suggestion?

ironman12234567 (2007-09-20)

Hi, this download can work in a PSX?

kentaJ84 (2008-02-03)

Hi everyone! I downloaded this game, it took about 4 days. Thats pretty long i think. I 2 days i seeded 3.4gb. And the game is only 1.37gb big. So the downloading and the seeding was big difference. I will seed until i've seeded about 20gb. I have downloaded much from piratebay, some things download fast, some dont. But i will be nice, when some others peoples are. You cant just download things and never seed, its not fair. What do you think you get downloads from. If no body seeds, nobody can ever download torrents. So start seeding everybody, you can still download even if you seed. So please, get a goal, "i will seed to 10gb" "i will seed to 5gb", whatever you want, then just do it. Do not be so fucking selfish fokes. Thats all i have to say...Well my english is not so good. So you'll have to excuse it. But i guess you understand anyway. Thanks for lissening, greetings Kent

I did download your Final Fantasy VIII and it works great but do i have to download all this plug-in shit one more time to make it work when i already have the plug ins for
FF VIII

theaceoffire (2008-02-10)

To any future users: Try using pSX instead. ePSXe is outdated and not updated, pSX is loads easier to use and works in linux too. Free also, of course.

jensforti8 (2008-02-10)

i have problem with first cd in the airship scen in dali just in the beginning it stops and wont move i have all plugins and ePSXe 1.60 pls help me:(
other than that great torrent downloaded it in 50 min good job! :)

sportacuslolol (2008-02-14)

Not worth downloading, unless you enjoy playing the first hour and then being unable to proceede after Dali. Someone really needs to fix the first disc

devilpt (2008-02-17)

On CD2 i cant proceede before Cleyra. It's Stupid, I can't find a working Final fantasy 9!!!!

Xyrloph (2008-02-23)

hey jensforti8 i use to have the same problem with ePSXe 1.60 in the airship scene and then i download version 1.52 and then it works. :) So for all you who have problem with the airship scene try ePSXe 1.52 and the problem is gone.

sitara (2008-02-27)

lilte help, i think i did everything properly but when i wanna play it is just black screen, i now gonna try it with pal but when someone has got ideas, help me pls

Xyrloph (2008-03-01)

I am now on CD 4 and this game works just fine. All you who say it dont work must do somthing wrong cas it is nothing wrong with this one. I play on win XP and using ePSXe 1.60. In the airship scene i use ePSXe 1.52 but then i switch back to 1.60 cas it works better.

Elcanone (2008-03-03)

You know the boss at the ens of Kuja's palace, the floating slab thing? When I got there, for no apparrent reason the game got stuck, and nothing fixed it, no matter what I tried to do or change. Did anyone else have this problem, or was it just me?
Cause I had to download a speedrun of the game to see how it ended... >

masterKurdi (2008-03-26)

nvm i got the answer :P but now i wonder how i can start the game right every i saved without having to do all on epsxe 1.5.2 ...question is now: how do i transfer a saved file from psxe 1.6.0 to epsxe 1.5.2?

masterKurdi (2008-03-26)

forgot to add: when i look at sstates (at epsxe 1.6.0 file) i only find a file named "punch.me". i have heard that the save files should end in atleast .000... :S

mencpcpcpasd (2008-03-27)

im getting stuck when the enemies cast some spells, like thundaga, poison, sleep etc. ive been following Bamprods advice to go to emuparadise.org to download only disc 3 but when i extract it i have to choose "Process All Files in a volumes from the current" or "Process Selected files only" i've been trying both but when it starts to extract it says "You need to have the following volume to continue extraction" then there is a file and it says "Insert a disc with this volume and press "OK" to try again or press "Cancel" to break extraction" if i take ok nothing happens........ please help! :S

Ryan.r (2008-03-28)

Ok, to make the memory card on 1.52 and 1.60 the same go to memcard on 1.52 and make them the 2 on 1.60, but also their is an error on disk 3 where when a lion or what ever starts casting poison it takes about 20 mins to finish the spell, but what im doing is just clicking F1 a lot and when i see a battle with them i just click F3

Ryan.r (2008-03-28)

Also i tried on emuparadise, but the download link woulden't work on internet explorer, or fire fox

BloodyChaos74 (2008-04-01)

How did you fix the airship problem at Dali Masterkurdi?

zidane3003 (2008-04-02)

crazy55chris (2008-04-05)

YOU MOTHER FUCKER I GET TO THE LAST FUCKIN VIDEO AND IT DOES THE FUCKIN AIRSHIP FREEZE AGAIN GOD DAMNIT!!!

dzw021 (2008-04-11)

Thanks a ton Bamprod-
To those that are still working through this game, here are a few tips from the previous comments - READ BEFORE PLAYING:
(1) DISK 1 AIRSHIP FREEZE - If you are using epsxe 1.6.0, your game will freeze here. To get around it, just use version 1.5.2. You can save the game after the airship animation and go back to 1.6.0 if you want, but 1.5.2 works just as well as 1.6.0 anyways.
(2) DISK 3 BATTLE FREEZE - Certain battles will freeze. It is not the emulator; the disk 3 in this torrent is messed up. Download a working disk 3 at emuparadise.com

markalot84 (2008-04-14)

God damn it !!! I'm stuck on DISK 3 at the kuja's palace....everytime I encounter an enemy who casts sleep it doesn't even freeze....there's just nothing happening at all. Even after bypassing all those crappy moments, there goes the same problem with the boss, some kinda big rocky monument, idunowat, i cant bypass it because it casts thundaga at the begining of the fight every time I try....
I guess the CD3 is fucked up....any1 didn't have this problem please help me I wanted this game so bad and now it sucks...

unrealize (2008-04-14)

any pls seed i am dling it T_T

markalot84 (2008-04-15)

Okay since no one answered my plea I had to find a solution all by myself and I think you might enjoy reading this comment before downloading this torrent.
- Some say the game will run fine and it's true only until Kuja's palace on disk 3. (with ePSXe 1.5.2)
-After downloading another final fantasy 9 for the psx I can now continue my game which I previously savestated and it worked just fine
-So here's the link to the other working final fantasy 9 if you encounter the same problem as I did on disk 3.
This will save you a lot of time.

markalot84 (2008-04-15)

yourwelcome6006 (2008-04-26)

For those whose game freezes in the cut scene of cargo ship you are most likely using epsxe160. You can easily fix this by downloading an older version of epsxe( epsxe152). Make sure you save state using the emulator, not the ingame save, in epsxe160. Then copy ALL the files in the sstate folder of epsxe160 into the sstate folder of epsexe152. Finally load state on epsxe152 and the game will not freeze in the cut scene. This is a very quick way to get past the freeze without having to download another torrent. If you have any questions regarding this problem send me an email at [email protected]. (=

Thesecowscansipe (2008-05-01)

my game freezes up on the cargo ship movie too..
im using pcsx since epsx wont work on ubuntu properly without having to do tons of stuff..
How can i skip the movie so it doesnt crash?

Bengttszon (2008-05-06)

salkinrawr (2008-06-17)

Always hangs on the boss Tantarian on Disc 3, I read someone had the same problem here as well. Im downloading two other torrents to try if this solves the bug.
IT IS NOT YOUR EMULATOR!
DISC3 is damaged.
It is a read error on physical adress 275a0c83-more.
Same error report from Spec Opcode error on pSX 1.13, ePSXe 1.52, 1.6, 1.7 this error is not noted in compatability info.
Trying another torrent.

salkinrawr (2008-06-18)

Alright. First off. This is NOT PAL. It is NTSC.
My testing concludes:
CD1 - SLUS_012.51 (Works good, some crash on world map)
CD2 - SLUS_012.95 (Works fine)
CD3 - SLUS_012.96 (Damaged!!!)
CD4 - SLUS_012.97 (Unknown)
Download CD3 from this one instead
Not many seeding but I got it down in 2h and it works on boss Tantarian on Disc 3.
Kind Regards
SalkinRAWR

bb-j (2008-07-08)

Hi, it freezes in disc2 when i go in to cleyra what is wrong plz hlp me :(

mwuha (2008-08-22)

actually theres nothing wrong with theese disks
its just the emulators flash saves that scrws up the game
SO whenever u chage a disk save (ingame), close the emu and restart it and load from that save.

TheTDK (2008-08-27)

Hey, i have a slight problem...
when i get in the start screen in FF9 i cant move the cursor... none of my buttons work or anything. i read the epsxe manual and it said to press F4 or F5 and then F4 and it didnt do anything. Please someone help me!
Thank you in advance.

Prodigygamer1289 (2008-09-27)

Two things.
1- Here are some problems ive encountered and how to fix them. These are for ePSXe
-no battle menu:
On the main epsxe menu-thing go to config-video-configure. I think about halfway down theres a option called "off screen drawing". set that to level 2. Just for the record. im using Pete's D3D Driver 1.77 plugin.
-freeze when taking off from dali.
change to ePSXe version 1.52 thats all. to change the save files berween versions just copy and paste these files from your old version into version 1.52: wherever your epsxe files are there should be two folders called "sstates" and "memcards" (i think) just copy and paste the files to version 1.52. although you might only need to copy and paste one of them but i forgot.
thats actually all my problems...huh...thought i had more... anyway
heres my question....kinda makes me feel stupid...how do you change to disc 2? :PPP its just a black screen :P
-

Prodigygamer1289 (2008-09-27)

oh yeah the 2nd thing was my question

EinOr (2008-10-25)

seeed please :) and i will seed it for a couple of weeks..

ideosync (2008-11-24)

everone on here who has left help messages is a legend. everytime i have ran into an issue it has been solved on here. that changing to espxe152 to stop the crash at the ship was excellent i thought i would hafta download it again i buzzed so much i thought about cracking one off. just so u no ppl when you finish a disk and it says insert disk 2,3 or 4 press esc then go to file on ur emulator and select change disk open whichever u need and the game will continue. also this may sound retarded but with disk 3 you can download any other version of ff9 and when it come up wit the files your getting before you select ok just un tick all files except disk 3 saves pissin about tranna find it on its own. legendary game not played it for at least 7 years till i got this torrent. havin trouble with ff8 tho for pc cant get around insert disk 1 at start?
sound ppl am out

d-static (2009-01-21)

Language? Is it french
Est-ce qu'il est en français? Merci bcp!

aara26 (2009-01-24)

does this work on psp?
i downloaded ff9 but it goes black when i reach cleyra on disc 2 that's why im looking for another torrent and replace the 2nd disc on my psp

patrikzidane (2009-03-05)

Yes this works on PSP.. I am currently playing it on PSP and just recently got to disc 3.. will investigate if disc 3 actually is damaged.. disc 2 is atleast not damaged, it is propably something with your PSP version.. I am running 3.71 M33

patrikzidane (2009-03-09)

Disc 3 is definitely damaged somehow. Random battle freezes. Just re-download CD3 elsewhere. Perhaps at http://www.emuparadise.org

patrikzidane (2009-03-17)

I just came to disc 4 and noticed that it doesn't work on a PSP. It just doesn't boot. I don't know if its my version (3.71 M33) but i re-downloaded it from emuparadise and it worked.
So if you are experiencing boot problems with CD4 on PSP, download a new copy from emuparadise.org

sooni45 (2009-03-23)

uhmm, so i'm on disk 3 and right after kuja's appearance at alexandria (right before the coronation) it blacks out. i have tried getting a new copy of disk 3 at emuparadise but when i pushed F3 to load state, i still get a black screen. was i supposed to do something new with the savestate for the new disk3? or is it the disk?

patrikzidane (2009-03-23)

A tip would be to read through all of the comments on this torrent.. it might help ya out..
I can say that disc 3 on emuparadise is not damaged so it must be something with your emulator or settings.. try a different version of ePSXe, try 1.5.2, 1.6 and 1.7

c3bool (2009-03-27)

wickett (2009-04-23)

cant get in to cleyra on CD2.. screen goes black but i hear sounds, heard lots ppl have this.. how do i fix?

hixen77 (2009-04-28)

Thanks patrikzidane I love this game although i did like VII and VIII better

Ryban23 (2009-07-05)

To help wickett,
On disc 2, do a proper "Mog-Save" (Save State will not work) outside of Cleyra, then reset ePSXe from the "Run" toolbar. This fixed the black screen freeze for me.

ikazimirs (2009-07-10)

yeah i do follw ur steps but somehow when i run the cd the screen is blank so i taught its an vista issue tried on my laptop (xp) same point blank scren :( used all stuff u recomended
