Hey Agozer, check this out. I just figured it out. Now I originally play with save states and every now and then save on my mem card ( I got two saves on my 2nd mem card) This is weird AS HELL. For some weird reason I decide to delete my memory cards.... and BOOM, the game runs fine.... Why is this? I play by save states so I am ok but this is too odd its not suppose to happen. I tried changing the mem card names 001 to 000 and vice versa. But it will say I do not have any VP saves. I tried replacing them with new cards, and then from a save state try to save on the memory card but I guess save states also saves the slot and mem card which I already saved on, so thats a failure. I guess since I had two save files, I probably loaded with one of them one day, and proceeded to save state (overwriting my existing ones) Hmm I guess it all makes sense now. Always have ONE mem card save of the game (and NEVER TWO). I probably tampered with a couple of save states/mem card saves since I occassionally save state alot and different save on mem card slots. I guess ill continue with the save states since thats my only chance of continuing the game. I would like to thank you for helping me out though, I apprecciate it .
