I had the same issue and having other slight issues. I was able to successfully beat rufus, but it required only using “Attack”. The crappy part, after that the Motor Ball fight, it would keep doing that if I cast Fire. Was able to get past. Now I am just running around trying to catch my 1st chocobo and the game will out of nowhere exit. If I save with the game’s memory card or with the retroarch save, if the game closes on it’s own, the save does not save…..so if I don’t close the game regularly, it could crash and I get to do the last 2 hours over again. Any help other than Turbo would be appreciated. Going to try a different rom tonight.
