So, to summarize:
MegaMan Legends 2 has freezing issues after you defeat the final boss.
And the only time it hasn't froze was when playing in Normal Mode using pSX v1.4?

Well, hard mode wasn't tested, but it's verified to freeze in the latest version on normal mode, and all versions on easy mode. So basically...
On easy mode, v1.4 - v1.13 freeze after the first cutscene seen after beating the game (meaning no credits can be seen and no final save for clear data). On normal mode, it is known to freeze at that same spot on v1.13, and is fine on v1.4. Further testing is required... if there is anybody brave enough to go through hard mode... lol.

Since this is my favorite video game series of all time, I felt obligated to contribute to this. I tested the final battle and cutscene on hard mode with 1.4 and 1.13. Same story as normal mode. 1.4 worked, but 1.13 froze on the white screen after the cutscene. I tried 1.13 with both a CD and an image, but it didn't make any difference. Should I try more versions?

"Should I try more versions?" That would be a big help, dragonslayer - when a game only plays in some versions of pSX, it's useful to be able to pinpoint which versions it runs in and which it doesn't. Edit: if you want to run several versions of pSX - or other Playstation emulators - it can be useful to put your BIOSs, images, memory cards etc in a central location (make sure it's a location that's Ok for file permissions). Then you don't have to duplicate them for each copy of each emulator; just point to the central location for your BIOSs and set the paths there, too. It may not be a good idea to share save states, though - a save state from one emulator certainly won't run in another emulator, and sometimes not even in different versions of the same emulator.

Thanks for the tip. That was a good time saver.
I tried versions 5 through 12. All of them froze after the cutscene, except for version 7 which wouldn't run the game at all. It just froze after the Capcom logo.

Hmm... seeing as this helped with a different Capcom game bearing the same exact problem... On v1.7, could you try running the -r switch to start it up?
And by the way, thanks for the testing... ^^

So 1.4 is definitely the most recent version you can run the game with - thanks, dragonslayer.
BTW if you want to extend that tip, I always find it useful when installing an OS to partition the hard drive (or drives) at least into two partitions - one which is big enough for the OS and any increases in size it may acquire and one (or more) for storing data, saves etc: obviously, in that case, your 'central location' would be on a storage partition. You can point your email client there to save your email, your games etc to make saves there, and move your My Documents folder there. That way, you can do what you want with the OS (say, format the system partition and re-install/upgrade) and your data stays safe; you don't have to back everything up and reload afterwards - just re-point all your applications to their data, point your My Documents to the right location etc.
Most Linux distributions will encourage you to do this anyway during an install, but even before I started using Linux I used to set my Windows installations up this way. I think I've got files on some of my data storage partitions that are 8 or 10 years old... Compulsive packrat, me!

Thanks. I might do that someday, but I don't really like messing with partitions if I don't have to. My computer has an OEM version of Windows, so I can't really reinstall anyway.
I tried version 7 with the -r switch and it still didn't work. I also tried mounting a CD image as a virtual drive.
