hello this is about the PSN psp version

hey everyone i bought ff7 via PSN for my psp, played through the first and 2nd disc fine. i am now trying to fight ultimate weapon, and every few seconds it lags kinda like a slow pc. any known reason why?
 
It's either because your PSP is old and is not reading the discs correctly, or because the PSP simply isn't able to handle loading all of that graphics data at once. I've seen both be a problem depending on the game. What model PSP are you using?
 
i have the psp 1001, got it for 45$ with 6 games. hell yeah. but there are no discs i downloaded it fron the playstation store, and it played fine until the third disc, lags inside the highwind and out.
 
That was a killer deal, but unfortunately you are using old technology and it is going to slow down some games considerably. After moving from the classic PSP to the slim 2000 series, I had noticeable improvements in loading times in all of my games. I'd say your best option is to try to ignore it as much as you can or see if there are any firmware patches available for your system.
 
yeah i could check for firmware updates, mines at 6.20. i just dont understand why t worked perfectly for 35 hours of gameplay, all the chocobo raising and that good stuff, as soon as i hit disc 3. :( its not a sign that the psp is breaking is it?
 
No, especially if you're running it off of the memory card. Your PSP is fine. By the way, are you using a standard memory card? If you're running off an adapter or a strange third party brand it may be a cause of the problem. Other than that I can only suggest you look at the game settings and see if there is anything you can adjust to make the game less graphics intensive.
 
hmm i have an eb games bought 8 gb, its pretty full of music (like 5 gigs) i could get rid of most of it and see how it goes, i checked all the settings and theres nothing that catches my eye. let me delete music and see how it goes. something i thought of, meteor is closer to the screen on disc 3, could that be it?
 
Yeah more than anything it just sounds like you're trying to play a game that the older PSP technology can't cope with.
I played it through on the new PSP Go and it worked perfectly the whole way through. I also know from a friend that the whole game works perfectly on the PSP 3000 or w/e it's called.

Yeah, that Meteor bit could have a lot to deal with it. I would also highly recommend using as little files on the memory stick as possible other than the game itself. Hope you manage alright...
 
hey i posted something about a week ago about my ff vii lagging once i got to the third disc, i figured it out!!! i formatted my psp 8gb memory card, and now it works like a charm, no lag, i even had to reload ff vii , it only took 50 minutes, fantastic. if anyone out there experiences lag playing games loaded from their psp memory stick, reformat it!! also i finally rid of ruby and emerald; glorious.
 
Semi-related question, is there anything that would cause a PSP's battery to run out abnormally fast? Mine keeps saying I'm out of power when I still have 2 bars left.
