So I've been learning 100 egg (thanks to TOTO's guide), and my emulator/rom won't let me fight the Sorceress. I go in the fight, and after about 30 seconds, it warps be into the first hub, with no gems and no eggs. I've also experienced something where I die to Spike or Scorch, and after beating them, can no longer get a better Sparx than green or blue. I know Insomniac put anti-piracy things in the game, but I also see that people play this on emulator successfully. Is there a fix to this?

I'm also running the 1.0 version, not the greatest hits (1.1) version, if that matters..

I would first try using another ISO/Rom of the game and test these exact same things. I'm not sure if any of these issues have been encountered before.

Also, which emulator do you use?

I use PCSX, as that's the only one that's worked on Mac for me so far. I'll try the v1.1 when I have some time, and report back if that's fixed it.

Yeah it's either a bad ISO (none of that Paradox bs for example) or an old emu. Never used Mac so I can't help with that but good luck

The v1.1 link you gave me didn't work, and neither did another iso I found which claimed to fix these issues (no-paradox). Really not sure where to go from here.

Update: The newest iso I got is fine (I'm not sure about the one you linked me to, but I would guess it's fine), but PCSX apparently doesn't have the plugins, or whatever is needed, to get past the anti-piracy things in Spyro 3. I'm having to run psxfin (per the advice of a friend) through a program that let's Mac run .exe programs, but it's working. Thanks for trying to help, I do appreciate it.
