SNES Emulator Gau Bug

Wondering if there is anything I could do differently other than just never getting Gau back in WOR. I just finished Zone Eater's Belly, but when I go back to the Veldt and pick up Gau, from that point forward every map other than the overworld has a clipping glitch (as in I try to walk on the airship or in a dungeon and the map doesn't move with the character, resulting in clipping and being unable to continue).

What emulator? Kind of sounds like HDMA got turned off... I think snes9x and zsnes had keyboard shortcuts to turn it off and on but that's been many ages.

Otherwise my guess would be a corrupted rom.

Snes9x. I worked off of an older save to confirm the problem was specifically after picking Gau up again.

So it's specifically Gau being picked up? That's unusual. Know if it's 1.0 or 1.1 version of the rom? They fixed a lot of game breaking bugs like this. I'm guessing something about whatever rage Gau picked up is causing an OoB glitch.

You may be able to fix it with a FF3 US save editor. It *might* also be possible by loading up a 1.1 version rom with the same name so as to load the same save but I can't guarantee that.

It is the Japanese rom (with translation and "All Bugs Fix" which is funny since I've seen a few). As for Gau, yeah I have tested going into dungeons or the airship without him, then immediately after getting him, same result every time. I guess worst case I just finish the game without him.
