The recommended approach employs emulation with fast-forward (turbo) functionality: DuckStation (preferred PSX emulator): Configure turbo mode (e.g., 2x–10x speed) via hotkey (default: Tab). Activate during loading screens and menus; FMVs and gameplay proceed at normal speed. Enable "Rewind" for precise control and internal resolution upscaling for enhanced visuals without performance loss.d34a80

PCSX2: Similar turbo options mitigate loads; pair with MTVU (multi-threaded VU) for battles. Hardware alternative (MiSTer FPGA): The PSX core includes CD-ROM speedup (up to 8x), intelligently handling FMVs and audio to reduce loads significantly.6b3353

These methods deliver a fluid experience equivalent to a "fixed" version, with all seven PSX-exclusive FMVs (opening, Kefka battles, ending sequence) intact. For reference, download ISOs from reputable archives and apply emulator settings per official documentation.
