Update and Shrine questions

Hi, my new run on emulator is going great! Never had this results before: my suezo is 4 and a half years old now, just got B rank and fame 100. All of course thanks to legendcup.com great instructions. I also already unlock gali, henger, mew and worm, got the items for phoenix, joker and durahan, and some of the cup diamonds for ducken. It feel amazing. As soon as possible I'll get the files for draco-mocchi e sueki suezo for the lab works, and for the basic of the other unlocked monsters, I just want to give them the right birthday (the week i got back from the expeditions with the items).

I'll have to grind on ski to better compete in this rank now, and maybe pow if I want a short range pow attack that make some damage, but also the kiss tech would be easer to get and teleport could hit more often.... so I don't know yet. Right now my Canarino has tail whip (range 1), spit (range 2), telepathy (range 3) and eye beam (range 4).

I do have some questions for the SHRINE: first, on the legendcup website I saw a list for a lot of cd album, but it can also work with cd from other ps1 games, or at least works for me, was that for everybody or there is a difference beetween usa and eu version?

Second: I'm trying to extract the .bin files from my cd and game using powerISO but got problem with my ff9 fourth disk, does that mean that is broken? I have no way to try on the ps1 because I don't have a safe to work with. I've tryed with VSO inspector and got a bunch of negative results but looking online could't find any clear answer, plus even if the ff9 disk1 doesn't run on the ePSX it does on the ps1 and when I attempetd to use the forth disck in the shrine on ps1 it did work (just could't get the monster for my rank was too low). Is there a way to be sure the game (ff9 I mean) works properly? and what's your recommendation for a software to get the .bin file from album and games?

Third: Is anybody interested in what monsters my game/cd can get? I can possibly figure out a way to get the files online or on the cloud and share them with you all, but I don't want to overpost and don't know what moster would get out of some of them so is a little bit of a roulette.
