Codebreaker item glitching Taisuke recruitment?

[chumbolotheosis]

Hi,

I just cracked out my PS2 for the first time in... years... to replay Suikoden. Only, this time, I used a codebreaker, including the all items code. I was trying to recruit Taisuke on the Deserted Island. I got the first text prompt, but I could not speak to him by the lake after that, get any other text prompt when I left the cave, or see his clothes on the beach. The package of clothing is already in my inventory (x99 due to the code), and I can't get rid of them. Has anybody else had this error? Is there a work around? Or would I just need to restart the game and avoid using that code?

Thanks,

I have had the same thing. Having the clothes checks off a flag that prevents the recruitment dialogue from starting. There is no way around it AFAIK unless you can somehow shark the clothes out of your inventory.
