If you want to use the PAL version, I'd suggest going to a save point before you gate anywhere since it won't always crash (though its common), and if it does you can just reload and try again until it works. I grew up with this version and it led to much frustration. It's really good for stable frame rate, but unfortunately the PAL version will crash when you try to gate from one map to another. I was hoping they'd make this post, but they've not followed up with me or made the post independently so I'm making it today and linking it into the r/KingsField menu bar from hereon out! I'm pretty busy but I intend to try their advice ASAP.


I'm not sure if KFIII suffers from this problem or if runs stable. For me KFII is the main attraction of KF. My whole adult life I've wanted to replay it at the right frame rate so I'm very glad for this. I for one most detest the unstable frame-rate in the emulators and even the PS2 and PS3 hardware versions. Most seem to be getting the wrong experience of KF/KFII (Japan/original) so I highly recommend this. It also has German and French text (I think.) I for one am shocked this isn't common knowledge and/or commonly recommended as the way to play.

I'm sharing this to not include two guides in the forum's menu.Ī little while back /u/3saster reported that the PAL (European) version of King's Field II emulates properly (as intended) at stable 17 fps. Update: Here's ( ) a lengthy alternative explanation of emulators, for an intro to PlayStation emulation.

Update: u/FlyingCPU has provided a reprogramming fix for NTSC ( ) ( ) (so now the PAL/Euro version is no longer required and you can play the original in Japanese if you're into that!) Note there's more information in the comments here (which is what the second link points to.)
