Xenogears is acting...weird.

[Khorde]

Hi, I asked this question before on the old forum but didnt really get any help.
I have a PsTWO (v12) with a CC (Yes, its true I swear). I have bought Xenogears, Xenosaga and FFtactics, and Xenosaga and FFTactics work fine. The problem with Xenogears is that its really choppy, it's as if it loads alot. It doesnt freeze or anything its just that it takes a long time doing stuff. Here's an example:

You start a battle and you use a spell. The name of the spell comes up and the character starts the summoning animation , then its just stuck in that animation for like 1-2 minutes. Music is still playing, sound aswell, and the characters are moving. Its like it waits a long time. Same thing can happen when a battle ends, the characters just stand their in their victory pose for like 2 minutes.

I used the cd on my PC through an emulator to check the cd and had no problems there. Xenosaga and FFtactcis runs fine, I even borrowed PSX-backups from my friend to see if it was perhaps 3d games that made the machine "think" for so long, but that wasn't the case.

Btw, I once tried making copies of Xenogears since I feared that the cd might be harmed with all the loading, but my backups of XG and FFT didnt work :S Does anyone have any tips on how to make good copies? I know that DVDecrypter works fine for PS2 backups...

Last Btw, I have the 14th update and skipped the 15th, can I go straight for the 16th or dO I have to flash the 15th first? And I used the hacked version so that I could play backups, will this cause any problems with the BM when updating?

Thanks alot for any anwsers.

Yes, this is n00by.

if u are still using 0.14 i think u have the old BM too. try 0.16 with BM 1.6, u can upgrade directly.

Are there any compatibility issues between using an old BM and newer flash? Good to know...

EDIT: Corrected alot of errors and mistakes in my post! sorry about that
