Indeed, it seems that the crashes just happen, KH1 is just not as optimised for PCSX2 as KH2.
Note that if you use your copy of KH 1 FM JAP, you can continue from the same saves as the english patched ISO, so you can simply get to ursula, switch to JAP, beat her, switch back to ENG and move on to oogie boogie, at that point you'll need to do the same.
M1rk0- Yea i got all of the reports including the one after unknown.
Its important to note that, as far as my investigation concludes, this patch isn't really responsible to crashes.
Almost anytime my game crashed, i tried the JAP version and got similar resaults. the truth is, this game is much less stable than KH2 when it comes to PCSX2 (ESPECIALLY when upping the graphics with shading, supersampeling and the like; most of the time when i got a crash, i turned down the graphics settings on my PCSX2 and it didn't crash)
Charmander's Key - lol dude, thats ok, we are all busy. I'll attempt to dive into the previous pages of this thread and find it.
In conclusion, basically, as long as you keep graphics settings down at big flashy fights with particle effects (cerberus, big ursula, chernaborg, etc.) and use the JAP version for stage 1 ursula and stage 1 oogie, you can play this game from start to finish, including doing 100% run (which BTW, is SOOOOO much easier and quicker than KH2FM).[DOUBLEPOST=1457389418][/DOUBLEPOST]BTW, sora6645 , if you need any help, i dont know how to code or anything like that, but if you need me to play-test the stuff, i'll be very glad to do so, talk to me if you need me.
Welp, i finished KHFM with Sora's patch from the blog, didn't really make a list of the bugs, but i'll write down what i recall:
1. There are only 2 game breaking bugs as far as i could see:
a. Ursula (first fight): cant target or hit the cauldron.
b. Oogie Boogie (first fight): Oogie keeps running from side to side without furthering the fight, so you are stuck.
2. Now for the small stuff:
a. whenever you open a chest, you get garbled gibberish instead of the item name (this isn't so bad, as you can simply go to the inventory to check).
b. sometimes when you beat a boss, no name is displayed for the reward. for example, when you beat the hooded secret boss (not giving him a name to avoid spoilers), it doesn't say you got the ansem report.
Thats it, basically, Sora did a great job this far, and im sure the finished product will be even better :)
Damn, get well dude.
I've been through surgery before (not with my elbow but still..) and the most important thing is you need to rest.
I think I speak for all of us when I say, this silly patch can wait, don't concern yourself with that utill your elbow is healed completely.
BTW, per Charmander's Key's suggestion, i have downloaded the patch thats on your blog, and I've been having a blast with it, Im still in the Alice world, and i know there will be bugs later on (and I will handle them like Charmander's Key suggested) but all in all, you really do an amazing job :)
Wow, i didnt expect that in-depth of a response, i will try it your way.
And yes, I'd be glan to see that list, could save me a lot of effort.
On a completly different note I have a question, I'm genuinely wondering what it takes to make a translation patch. Im asking this because the patch for KH2FM was made a very long time ago and aside from a few visual quirks, it bug-free, so i was very surprised to discover that the patch for the first KHFM was not done yet and was wondering why does it take so much longer (not that im complaining or belitteling all of the guys who work hard on this patch, its really wonderful they take out of their time to do this).
Since there is a lot of conflicting statements on this thread and im kinda confused, i am hoping that you can help me.
Is the patch really playable? what i mean by that is, if i patch the game using the current patch, will i be able to play the game from start to finish?
Also, should i use the patch that is found in the first post of this thread or is there a different location for the patch download link.
thank you very much in advance.
