So I'm going home from work today and plan on acquiring Star Ocean for Super Famicom through illegal and unmentionable ways. I just wanted to know a few things beforehand:

- I tried to play it a year or so ago and it wouldn't load past the character name selection. I was running the newest version of Zsnes. Is this only compatible with SNES 9X, or do I need a specific patch?

- Reine mentioned the rom crashing at a certain point and I was curious if I should keep my eyes peeled for a specific version.

- Lastly, how does it compare to Star Ocean 2 and 3?
