FF6 - Brave New World

It should work with either 1.0 or 1.1. What it sounds like to me is that you're encountering the bug that pops up if you just let the game run from the title screen (which evidently still hasn't been fixed).

Try making sure that your inputs are being accepted by the emulator, and then skip the title screen by hitting A while it's playing the opening (with the clouds and thunder and such).
