are ya using the USA version? If so, I think it's weird it's crashing all the time. I have played it for 4 straight hours and it didn't crash once. Don't know howto really help ya out man. But at least I'm answering your question. hehe...LOL
Don't use phoenix v."whatever"... just use the GCL loader v1.0 and PSUL straight from your dos command line!
Use Gamecube Simulator it runs it near perfect but has the little lag thing in the battle still but works better.
I think you are on the wrong thread blinx this thread is for GameCube users.If you are not a GameCube user then you must have got lost,so take your comments somewhere else.The Xbox and PS2 discussion is just below the GameCube forum so it shouldn't take you long to find where to go.
Oh another thing is that you are not suppose to screw your system to feel which one is the best.You are suppose to play games off the system hahaha lol.
I don't have a clue about emulation. Can someone email me all the stuff you need for Paper Mario (and the rom). I just get a load of unreconisable and slow graphics. Mail is ojnad@btinternet.com I would be very grateful ^-^ I really want this game bad... If you can't mail it, post the links PLEASE
