In Final Fantasy VIII I get stuck in Timber on the way up the stairs to the TV station. At the top of the stairs the game fades to black, the TV station barely starts to appear, then it fades to black again and sends me back to the top of the stairs. I am using the latest version 1.9.93. I've tried running the game with multiple BIOS files all with the same result. This is a show-stopping bug that prevents you from getting any further in the game.

I am having this issue as well. It also happens in the earlier "dream" part with Lacuna, when I go to a tower with a hand ladder and try to go either up or down.
The cause seems to be that when I go to the new area, I appear in a position where the game thinks I want to go to the previous one, and thus I get stuck.
If I enable the option SIO IRQ Always Enabled then it doesn't happen. But in that case I cannot move my character because the controller stops working. And if I re-enable it then the error reappears and the character goes back to the previous zone.
I am using PCSX-Reloaded 1.9.92 (Debian stable (Wheezy))
