FFV on PS2

StormyV · 01-16-2006, 11:05 PM

I was attempting to play FFV on my PS2 when I noticed the save screen was scrambled and failed to save.

I was just wondering if there is any way to avoid this, or is FFV not compatible with the PS2??

Thanks in advance

are you using a PS1 memory card because you cant save PS1 games on a PS2 memory card.

Sometimes i will make a save and then go out for a while. When i come back, if i try to carry on from the save screen, the game will freeze up to 1-2 minutes. This happens everytime i leave the save screen up for extended periods of time (which is quite alot actually) and the length of time it freezes for directly relates to how long i have left the save screen up for. It always picks up though

that is weird cos it never does that with my ps2 and my mum has thrown that about everywhere (one time she threw it with ff9 disk 2 in and the tray wouldnt open, i had to use a bloody screwdriver to open it

).....

I forgot that you can't use a PS2 card with a PS1, but that was remedied when it wouldn't let me start a new game without one.

I used to keep my PS1 around in case I wanted to play FFV, but I don't have it with me (it's a lovely 400+ miles away).

I downloaded the translated SNES rom (shame on me, of course) but it's just not the saaaaaaaaaaame!

I'll give it another shot today, but I'm not too big on wasting time on a game that won't save.........that's bogus!

No offense, but is your mum crazy???

Why the hell would she chuck your PS2? Doesn't she realize she's breaking an around $200 piece of equipment? If she does it again, break one of her fine china and say its compensation! Or smash any of her music CD's that you don't like! "Youse smash muh PS2 youse pays da price!"

actually, ive heard of many instances where ffV doesnt work on ps2s. you can still navigate the menu, btw, you just wont see the arrow moving.

i have no clue why it would do this, maybe how the game was made?

FFV works totally fine on my PS2. Maybe you just have crappy PS2s.
