The only patch that works to fix the slowdown is the EU version, which can be found on ffhackticks.com. It also plays nicely with other patches, so you can apply it to an already patched ISO, as long as the ISO is PAL (eu) version. FWIW, having the ppf patched version of the slowdown fix will negate the psp hack fix, so only use one or the other.

I remember back in the days ppf patch was needed in fact for the european version of the game to play either on console or emulator. Can this be it? Mjfdms, Oct 9.

From the mobo. So the Machine starts the whoosh of a boot, the cpu-fan starts spinning full whack, then instead of the hard-drive grinding into action.the CPU fan comes to a halt, and I get a click.click.repeatedly ( 2 a second ) from what i thought was coming from my 1 sata HDD, but after removing it, the clicking is still happening with just the mobo, the psu and the cpu-fan. Lots of matted carpets under my bridge,fan, and even cleaned the PSU (inside). Anyway, It took me 3 days of googling before i could remember where the PWR SW,RESET and +.- HDD LED connectors went, and then I dare boot up. Ga-8trc410mnf-rh motherboard manuals.

Running on a RP3 Model B, RetroPie 4.0.2. I have successfully played other ISOs just fine, but any of the Final Fantasy IX disks gets stuck on the loading black screen.

RetroPie itself is not stuck, as I can exit back to menu just fine by pressing start+select, but the screen will stay black forever. The ISOs are fine, as they run fine on my laptop with ePSXe. I've checked the PCSX ReARMed compatibility list and it says FFIX should play perfectly, so I wonder what is going on. Is there a way to figure out what is preventing it from starting? Update: I figured out how to access the logs, but also not much help there.

It seems to trail off without any real errors popping out. Here's what the dump looks like. Starting PCSX-ReARMed Running PCSX Version 1.9 (Jul 27 2016).

You may not be from North America but I would think the NTSC version would work better because: 'PAL is 50 Hz, meaning 50 frames are rendered every second. NTSC is 60Hz, so 60 fps.' Also you're using the US/NTSC version of the PSX BIOS (SCPH1001.BIN). I believe SCPH1002.BIN is the Europe/PAL PSX BIOS and SCPH1000.BIN is from Japan. If there's some game that's PAL only (or the PAL version has more content than the NTSC version) then you might try the other BIOS file?

I'm not sure, I haven't tested this.
