it would help if the fucker would play!
in VGS, all the movies, tutorials and demos play fine
start the game, and instead of the two guys talking in the middle of a town, you are shown the bottom left corner of the town with a chick in it, music plays, but a game stopping glitch because it never goes to the guys talking (and hence moving on with the game)
in ePSXe 1.2 it crashes with all the TNT/OpenGL/Pete stuff, it seems to access the .bin a LOT and if you try to do something at the wrong time, SYSTEM CRASHING time...
in ePSXe 1.4, someone at gamefaqs claimed it works fine, that person was lucky, apparently something on my system fucks it up cause it crashes even more than 1.2!
finally, I took a save of my several times restarted ePSXe and converted it to a mem for VGS, and it played FLAWLESSLY, except I only did the tower battles (as the save had the first story battle dealt with, and I wanted to get some more levels for the second battle since I knew what was coming)
try to start that battle (which, incidentally, begins with a town/text scene like the beginning....) and it shows the bottom left of the map and music plays and game does not progress...
NOW, I try to take that mem and load it into ePSXe...ePSXe now CRASHES my system every single time I try to access the VGS memcard
it also crashes when I try to read the old .mcr save (AAARRRGGHHH)
another guy on gamefaqs said even his chipped PSX has problems with it!
I've been toying with games.txt and still have not gotten it going in VGS, and ePSXe keeps on crashing when trying to load (and by god, I am NOT starting over until I buy the damn thing!)
aaaaaaaaaanyway...
I like it
it's a lot more challenging than final fantasy tactics, but not quite as much as tactics ogre (but close)
nice spells, it's hard to gain levels and even harder to gain devotion levels...
the battles are awesome for strategic thinking, what little story I've seen is cool, and I look forward to being able to play it w/o the problems EVENTUALLY...
heh
btw, the only thing lamer than vandal hearts is saiyuki
VH2 is a lot better than VH
and Shining Force series, tactics ogre, FFt, and this game are all better than VH...
