emulators arent too complicated. for ps1 games you should use epsxe or retroarch and follow a setup tutorial for whichever one you pick, theres plenty of articles you can google thatll tell you how to get them working in excruciating detail

Basically you just grab epsxe, a bios file for it, the (legally obtained) iso for fft, the patch file for 1.3, and then stick the iso in the folder it belongs, and the patch in the other one. I think epsxe can handle patching games on the fly. If not there is some program that patches it and makes a new iso.

So i have the game ISO and the romhack I want, but I ended up downloading PCSX as my emu because I'm on Mac OSX (casual gamer). There is a epsxe for mac and I was gonna use it but then I got scared that I'd use the wrong BIOS or plugin or something and my computer would explode. However, I'm having trouble finding PCSX or mac tutorials/BIOS/plugin stuff generally, suggestions or reassurance that I won't break everything somehow requested

also im really happy emu paradise is still a thing even after like 16 years or some poo poo

The ID mod is kinda hosed up. The enemy AI uses this super bullshit tactic where they will just constantly revive anyone the turn after you kill them to waste your time. Also it adds some encounters that are basically endgame difficulty smack dab in the middle of the game.

Wait.... so you are telling me the fan patch to a classic game that is considered a masterpiece in its own right is kinda hosed up? Say it ain't so!

Let's make one thing clear. The ID mod for fft isn't good. However, it is his life and his right to choose.

I don't see what the problem is if he's played it normally a bunch of times and just wants more of the good game but a little bit different.

i guess i understand why, but nearly every mod for a classic game like this is mostly just an insane difficulty mode that's geared towards obsessively knowing every small detail of the system

thats true, i was looking for good ones recently though and i played a good one called ff6 brave new world. it basically just redoes the entire fundamental game mechanics of ff6 and the gameplay is much better because of it because the original ff6 was far too simple and easy, its not a difficulty mod though but its a little challenging. the only problem is it messes with the dialogue script a little but its not so bad in that respect

The Nameless Mod for Deus Ex is a legitimately good gameplay mod where the story is all based around forums drama on one of those planet(X).com sites. It's a good one if I remember right

theres also ff7 new threat which is a similar style of hack but i personally didnt like it. they give you the morph materia from the start basically so youre like morphing every enemy in case one of them has something good since of course most of the enemies have redone drop lists -_____-
