Final Fantasy VI: The Eternal Crystals

Hey, guys! Thank you very much! Actually, it seems to simply have been a bug - in the end I solved this probably in the same minute that I had posted my question here: I accelerated the game during the intro, and that "pushed" the scene towards the beginning of the interactive part. Been playing the game since then without any further irregularity - at the opera scene now. works like a charm.

Snes9x EX+, 1.5.82 on Android, hack "10.8.3"; would upload the .ips file for your convenience, but if I didn't know it better, I'd say the patched ROM is from the 1990s, or something, with the patch file itself nowhere to be seen any more.
