Can I hack my PSX ISOS?

Can I hack my PSX ISOS?

I bought my Arc The Lad 3 game, but when my PS1 was stolen, I couldn't play it anymore. So I used emulators. And now I'm really far in the game, and it hangs on every emulator I use.

So I was just wondering what program(s) do I need to be able to hack the game and fix the area where it's crashing so I can complete the entire game. The area I'm stuck on is Job 89 where it's theo's turn to hallucinate.

Many thanks in advance.

Sure, you can "hack" it, but simply handing you the tools wouldn't be enough -- you'd need to know exactly what you're looking for, and exactly how to use the tools. In short, you'll essentially need someone else (pSX Author?) to tell you exactly how to modify the files.

See this post from pSX Author, ron. Apparently, according to several posters, Job 89 is not necessary to complete the game. It might have been an idea to search the forum on this first...

lol ya I read that topic. I actually searched for the problem on google which lead me to that post and to this site. Then I signed up, posted on that thread, and pSX author hasn't gotten back to me.

Ya I realize I need to know what I am doing lol, but if I just had the tools, and with the directions from pSX author who claims to have fixed the problem by hacking the game, I could too. I just wanna finish the game 100%.

patrickp: Notice ron's reply two posts below the one you linked to -- he definitely saw that post before
