This is a know issue with the game. It is passable however. I got stuck on this too. For me, if you load the game right before the cut scene and start mashing buttons before it ends you can sometimes get unstuck. Took about 8 tries for me but I got past. Here's another method I've been told works sometimes:

FOR FF VIII
When it freezes on Lunar Base after the video.
1) Set in game config to MONO sound
2) save in MED LAB right before you head to hallway where the video starts playing
3) While video plays - Save state, close the app, relanch game and load state.
4) Press a massive amount of different buttons during video

How many times did you try? It can take 10+ tries. Seems to be luck.

This is a timing issue as old as PSX emulation itself. I wouldn't hold my breath for a proper fix, especially for an emulator with a JIT.

You'll have to copy some files around, but you may be able to get past it in mednafen-psx.

If someone could get me a savestate before it happens (before the video start), I could check what's going on there.

Please create a new issue for pcsx_rearmed if you do:

Solution found :smile:

1. Menu -> core option -> enable InuYasha Sengoku Battle Fix
2. Play as usual

Works with RetroArch 1.3.0 - PCSX-ReARMed r22

PS: I know that this issue is 3 years old, but this is one of the firsts link that google gives, so it's useful to have it here.
