i've been playing FFTA lately and i've found that most of the time, when a ranged character controlled by the AI gets a turn, and there are opponents within range, the game freezes. anyone ever had this or know how to fix it?

 

any mission, it could be even a random encounter, as long as it has a ranged character. intestingly, magicians don't trigger that.

 

I would get another game.
Anyway, i did try this game on a (not G6 lite) flashcart (although i didn't like the game, so i didn't play for long) and didn't experience any freezes. But G6 lite has all sorts of settings in the patching app, doesn't it? Maybe try fiddling with them. Also, as others have said, get a new dump.

 

G6's settings for GBA is very limited, I can say that there is no settings for GBA mode such as are for DS mode and it doesnt need IPS patch (since i didnt use one) and is compatible with REAL MODE (since i did copy it with real mode).

there is a way to test your current ROM, test it with VBA (http://vba.ngemu.com/downloads.shtml) and see if it freezes at the emulator or not! : )
problem solved!
if didnt work there, get another dump !
