I have a scratched copy of Brigandine, an old game by Atlus on PSOne.  I also have a PSOne.  Now that we got that out of the way ... 

I'm having trouble emulating this game from a ROM, and all of my google searches have lead to dead-ends.  When I try with ePSXe v 1.70, I can load it, start a new game, choose a faction, but that's it.  It freezes at the loading screen afterwards.  

When I tried with psxFin 1.13, it loads the game, however the main title screen 'flickers', and I can only get passed it by quickly hitting **X** button, but for some reason it auto-picks the "Iscalio" faction. (The one ruled by King Dryst).  

Has anyone ever tried to emulate this game and done so successfully?
