My kid destroyed my ps1 FF 7,8 & 9

gramlab

Anyone know where I could buy copies of these. She also destroyed others but don't really care about them.

HELP!!!

Amazon or something like that is the only way to go I'm afraid. I can't remember exactly what site I got mine on, but I couldn't find them anyehere else.
And for the love of god, keep them away from children!!!!!!!

ai ing

I have them sitting here if your interested. 7 and 9 with cases but I am missing the case for 8. All in good condition. Also got 6 if you want

Dont play them at all any more.

No need, I have mine.


I felt the same when an absent minded mother, during the course of her annual spring-cleaning, threw out my copy of Super Mario World.

For future reference however, Ebay is also a good option.

yeah as above, ebay is great. I can't remember the last time I searched for something on ebay and it wasn't there (and I searched for some pretty rare PS games). There should be loadsa copies of final fantasies on there.

You also won't get fleeced on Ebay. The FF games are highly desirable but there are loads of copies. Some people tend to exaggerate their worth.

I got mine in one of the second hand shops on talbot street a couple of years ago, might be worth a try.

It is possible to make backup copies of them.
It could be possible to download them.
A program called an emulator might exist that would let you play them on the PC(or other console).
A thing called a mod chip might exist that would let you play backup copies on your ps1.
It's also possible that any of the above statements could be illegal, so just ignore them.

Cheers for the advice and offers but my lovely, thoughtful wife managed to source them from her cousin - it seems wives do have other uses after all

Child (1 last week)will be locked in cupboard until she apologises

evad_lhorg

you dont keep the kids in cupboards anyway?;)

If the case and all / inlay is not important to you... And provided you did own a ligitimate copy of the games, it is legal to download an emulator and play on the pc.

Doffy

Well by law you can have back-up's of the games as long as you own the original, you are entitled to have ISO's of the game but I don't know if they can be discussed here. Seeing as it is within the law to have back-up's I still think it would be better to not discuss this in public.

If you want to learn more about the subject then PM me.

Retr0gamer

The matter is quite a grey area in law even if you own the originals so don't be discussing it here too much thank you. Mentioning sites were you can get the iso's will make the information available to people who haven't got originals and could get boards.ie into trouble.

I didn't see this thread until now, but I'll still throw in my 2 cents.
Not a jury in the world, my friend, not a jury in the world.

wasn't squall FFVIII and not VII?

FF VII is cloud

anyway, got myself FFVII for the PC about two years ago, and made about 4 image backups on different drives thoughout my place.

think it is probably my most securely kept piece of Software at the time

Well if you put "8" after play it makes sense. I guess I missed it. But yea I know that Cloud is 7 and Squall is 8. I dont want it for the PC though...is it fun on the computer?

If you're in Dublin, there's a number of 2nd+ Hand shops around [Games are all in good condition and sometimes unopenned] - a few of which have numerous Copies of FF series.

I'm terrible at directions, but there's 2 just off Henry Street near O'Connels under the Train bridge.

gramlab

As I said - my thoughtful wife managed to source them.

Finding time to play them again though is hard but I'll persevere.

Seems to be plenty on ebay although it seems FF9 costs a lot more than 7 or 8. Would have thought it would be the other way.

Are we allowed to discusss... bitcomet and all those programs.. About geting the games.. I doubt it !?

grimloch

No.
