FINAL FANTASY VII PC - NEAT COMPILATION OF PATCHES AND MODS v1.2 Remake of Final Fantasy 7 for PC on XP coming true... notes before installing:
you have to choose maximum installation of the game if you are about to apply mods don't install DirectX and Directshow components that the installation program offers (use latest DirectX) beware and avoid unofficial so-known Animevamp 1.4 XP patch which screws your system files.. for more details read this or this follow this order of patching to avoid mutual incompatibility there are altogether cca 15 separate and individual patches so if you don't like certain modifications you can skip them and have the others Jedwin's Chocobo racing patch which solves crashing on 2k/XP systems is integrated in '2. The SaiNt's High Res FF7PC Patch v1.00' so if you want it separately look for it e.g. at EmperorSteele's website if you own non-english version of the game you have to follow TazDef's guide in patch #2 to apply 1280x960 patch and others maybe (not tested) download and install the latest drivers for your graphic card to avoid unexpectable problems game's FMV sequences are handled by TrueMotion codec and there are many infamous problems if you don't have it correctly installed (blank screen, upside down, cosmo canyon freeze or Junon cannon FMVs). Therefore I strongly recommend you clean up your codec mess (see TrueMotion codec step) It's recommended to copy your FMVs to hard drive to avoid slowdowns, freezes and issues while reading movies from hard-to-read CDs. To do so copy 'movies' directory from ff7 discs (some files repeat so overwrite) anywhere on your harddrive then regedit Windows registry and search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARESquare Soft, Inc.Final Fantasy VII - there change 'MoviePath' to where you put the movies. If you are lame use this guide by EmperorSteele some of the projects are still under development so check them all at the topic hyperlink stated under the name of each patch some patches have their own readme file with more detailed information if you have any problems getting some of these to work or experiencing strange issues try searching for the answer at the related topic that is shown under the name of every patch I take no responsibility for any unfortunate accident you may experience after using anything this compilation offers
TrueMotion codec Recommended setup to clean your codec mess and make FF7 use this filter: 0.Have latest DirectX and latest drivers for your graphic adapter installed 1.Download and install the latest K-lite codec pack (google yourself) -the installation program will prompt you to remove all installed codecs or corrupted entries...answer yes to do it automatically. -it's recommended to install default profile of the codec pack 2.Install duck.exe (TrueMotion codec) 3.Now run ffdshow video decoder configuration via Start->Programs->K-lite codec pack->Configuration->ffdshow->video decoder configuration and disable TrueMotion handling as shown on Image1.jpg This should solve all codec problems you may come across with FF7.
Upside-down FMV cutscenes patch Warning: This patch may interfere with some other codecs and cause some errors. Please try to solve your problem by following the steps described in TrueMotion codec FIRST. If that won't help (what I don't believe) go for this. Laptop Keypad patch Patches the game to be playable without numpad (good for laptops). To use this patch: Just put it in your ff7 directory, and hit 'yes' when windows asks if you want to overwrite. It should work =)
1. ff7 v1.02 official patch 'The Great FF7 FAQ (read before posting for FF7 support!)'
This is the latest and only official patch from Eidos. You definitely want this to pass graphical test in configuration to play with Direct3d rendering on highend machines. In other words playing in software rendering sucks and we have to avoid this. The patch also fixes some other minor bugs and you won't be able to apply next patch without this and altogether go for it no matter what! Installation: Simply replace ff7.exe and ff7config.exe files with those patched Usage: In ff7config on graphical tab tick nVidia and TNT to use hardware renderer (even ATI users) :P Known problems: -I have a non-English version of the game. Now what? SOLUTION: There are zipped patches of different languages but note that you won't be able to apply at least The SaiNt's High Res FF7PC Patch v1.00 so I highly recommend you use US patch 1.02 and then follow the guide in next patch -Upon running I hear Eidos logo theme but the screen is black. After that it freezes. SOLUTION: You probably have the latest ffdshow [rev. 571]. Step 3 in TrueMotion codec above solves this. -nVidia users - I have the latest drivers for my GeForce and I am able to choose hardware rendering without checking the nVidia box SOLUTION: So what's your problem? Be glad. -background images are covered in colorful squares or grids making it look like a puzzle. SOLUTION: Use next patch OR turn off any antialiasing you have set on your graphic card via RIVATUNER (nVidia users) resp. ATI TRAY TOOLS (ATI users) or such -nVidia users - the game crashes on startup when using hardware renderer. SOLUTION: Try to UNCHECK nVidia box in ff7config and maybe you can use hardware rendering without it. If not disable 8-bit Palletized Textures in your graphic card's Direct3D settings using e.g. Rivatuner tool. -nVidia users - ingame fonts are somewhat screwed. SOLUTION: enable FSAA (antialiasing) in settings of your graphic card -nVidia users - HEEY! You tell me to turn off FSAA to fix background but then to turn it back on to fix garbled fonts! WTF?!
SOLUTION: use next patch OR (if you don't want 1280x960) read info on solving this at the topic 'The Great FF7 FAQ (read before posting for FF7 support!)'
2. The SaiNt's High Res FF7PC Patch v1.00 '[BETA RELEASE] Higher Resolution FFVIIPC [v1.00]' Puts the game in 1280x960 resolution which looks damn pretty (3D models only) and enables to use antialiasing modes without screwing graphics. Also has integrated Jedwin's Chocobo racing patch which solves crashing on 2k/XP systems at chocobo race. As far as I know it modifies only one file - ff7.exe Installation: -run [The_SaiNt]_High_Res_FF7PC_Patcher.exe -select 'patch' and search for file ff7.exe which must be the patched one 1.02 from step 1 (unaltered) -(optional) THEN if you want resolution 1280x1024 (not 1280x960) repeat the same procedure with file [The_SaiNt]_High_Res_FF7PC_1280x1024_Fix_Patcher.exe Usage: -you must set 640x480 Full screen, hardware rendering, nVidia ticked and TNT otherwise it won't work Known problems: -The game don't start at all. No message...just a blink. SOLUTION: Your display probably don't support such high resolution. Buy newer and larger display or skip this patch (you will need to download and install Jedwin's chocobo racing patch separately from this site). -After quitting the game program remains intact and has to be terminated via task manager (otherwise it can't be executed again). SOLUTION: Right-click on ff7.exe and select Properties in context menu and on Compatibility tab TURN OFF any compatibility with older OS (why do you have it on anyway?) -I have a non-English version of FF7 but this supports only English ff7.exe and
I want this badly! SOLUTION: Follow the next guide taken from http://forums.qhimm.com/ Quote from: TazDef Here is the tutorial for applying the great HighRes Patch on non-English versions: 1. Make a fresh FULL install from your original FFVII CD. 2. Get the English 1.02 XP Patch. 3. Overwrite the original FF7.exe and the FF7Config.exe in your Gamefolder with the patched ones found in the archive. 4. Apply Saints great HighRes Patch, just like posted in these thread. 5. Replace your language-code from following files: ..datacdcr_gm.lgp ..datacddisc_gm.lgp ..datamenumenu_gm.lgp ..datawmworld_gm.lgp ..dataminigamehigh-ge.lgp (YES it's '-' in stead of '_') ..dataminigamesnowboard-ge.lgp (YES it's '-' in stead of '_') -> into filename_us.lgp (ie. ..datacdcr_gm.lgp -> ..datacdcr_us.lgp) 6. Remove the language-letter form follwing files: ..FFVIIdatafieldgflevel.lgp ..FFVIIdataminigamegchocobo.lgp ..FFVIIdataminigamegcondor.lgp ..FFVIIdataminigamegsub.lgp (ie. ..FFVIIdatafieldgflevel.lgp -> ..FFVIIdatafieldflevel.lgp) These are the german files, if you want to patch another version, just look for the same files ending with your language code (ie. _sp for spanish or _fr for french, _it for italian i guess). The files beginning with g, in my german version, should start with s, f or i, relating to your language. After doing so, you should be able to play the game in HighRes and in your language. Only the Menu still remains in english, but this should not to be a problem.
3. YAMP - Yet Another Multi-Patcher by dziugo '[BETA] Yet Another Multi-Patcher' This is a set of very useful patches (also see samples and txt files): -MiniGamesPatch - This program will enable a frame limiter for the Bike, Snowboarding and Rollercoaster Minigames and for battleswirl effect. It allows minigames to run at normal, manageable speeds on mid-to-high-end systems. It ALSO helps to solve crashing issues that some people may experience with the snowboarding game. This ALSO has integrated BattleSwirlFix which fixes an issue with FF7 crashing randomly when entering battles (mostly after Alt+Tabbing out of game and then returning) -TransparentDialogBoxesPatch - Will make the big blue dialog boxes transparent. -NoDialogBoxesPatch - Will make the dialog boxes vanish and only text appear (will overwrite the TransparentDialogBoxesPatch). -9999LimitBreakingPatch - Removes the 9999 limit for HP/MP/Damage in your FF7 allowing to go above this number. See screenshot and 9999LimitBreaking.txt. -GyptInstant - Allows you to skip FMVs when playing FF7. Very usefu
