Because anyone that knows what they're doing when emulating will know that running from an image off the HD is faster and gives better performance than directly from the CD If you still have any problems with that, go post in the thread you linked to.


Flying Mullet: What emulator and plugins you using? FF6 doesn't require subchannel data to emulate so I doubt it's a problem with the rip unless you did something weird there. You could test by trying to run straight from the disc and see if the same happens there or not. And as far as I know, the horrid load times etc. have nothing to do with Square burning the CD wrong, it's more the way the game was ported rather than remade for the PSX.
