@yuya - Since you're probably playing on Windows XP, you need to install the "FF VII XP Patch" which will fix your problem at the chocobo races, here's a download link: http://www.ffrebirth.com/ff7/ff7-xppatch.php
Enjoy!

84.Posted by Ramiriquez on Mar 31 2008 at 00:05

This comment was posted by pwn312 on another FFVII torrent and it worked like a charm for me. I did however have the 1.4 patch already installed (google it):

For those of you with blackout problems, for those who fire up the game only to hear the mocking call of the SquareSoft logo specifically, I shall be your savior. The problem lies in the video codecs you have installed on your computer. Chances are you may have installed something like K-Lite at some point in time. These codecs actually interfere with those that come with the game.

86.Posted by illedelli on Mar 31 2008 at 00:33

i'm running vista and the games doing fine so far....nvidia geforce card though...

90.Posted by ridgeraver on Apr 01 2008 at 01:59

no problem Sagus.

I've set up a torrent myself.

and yeah illedelli your right. thats the correct video. geez and i did it the hard way... i downloaded someone elses torrent for last4_4. lol

92.Posted by FTW77711 on Apr 01 2008 at 13:06

can anyone give me a step by step how to install have never used power iso please help me i love this game

98.Posted by Nickyking07 on Apr 02 2008 at 00:47

Damn, im at the shinra tower thing tryin to save aeries what ever her name is, and after i climb up each and everydamn starcase, it says it has encountered a problem with ff7.exe


and when you mean,
Copy the movies in each of the CDs to the hard drive (Recommended: %Programfiles%\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\movies) and replace the following files with "eidoslogo.avi". You will have to copy this file somewhere else and rename it to each of these filenames:

biglight.avi
ending1.avi
greatpit.avi
last4_4.avi

i dont really get what you mean.what im guessing is that: i get that eidoslogo.avi movie thing and make 4 eidoslogo.avi movies, replacing biglight, ending1, greatpit, and last4_4??? Please comment ASAP PLEASE ff7 is my lyfe

102.Posted by Nickyking07 on Apr 02 2008 at 01:46

Yes!!! IT worked!!!! Praise Sagusin!!!! THE LORD ALMIGHTY!!!! HALEHLUHA!!!!

104.Posted by illedelli on Apr 02 2008 at 07:19

http://fmv.thehylia.com/final-fantasy-7-disk-2/

108.Posted by Nickyking07 on Apr 03 2008 at 03:19

110.Posted by Nickyking07 on Apr 03 2008 at 19:20

K now im getting really ticked. Whenever i try to get yuffie after i kill her, the ff7.exe problem comes up please help!

112.Posted by Chang_Kho on Apr 03 2008 at 22:30

Hey... Just downloaded this GREAAT game - thanks to Sagus ^^

But i've problem.. It says %Windows\system32\config.nt. after i mount CD 1 and pressed INSTALL.... . the required system file is missing....WHAT THIS MEANS ?? HELP ??

I'm Using Windows VISTA Business 32-bit platform, Core 2 T7100, ATI X2500 etc...

Please Let me knooooow as sooooooon as possible ^^ THANKS

117.Posted by poopypuppy on Apr 05 2008 at 00:54

also. I just checked the 8-bit paletted textures in the FF Configuration and it says that it Fail. Might that be the problem? And do you know how to fix that?

120.Posted by deedubbleyou on Apr 05 2008 at 16:03

To magic ISO, convert then copy, rename, & replace,suggested files, drag new compilation To Power ISO and burn.

122.Posted by Chang_Kho on Apr 06 2008 at 02:23

How I can find the file? I'm usin VISTA.

windows\repair\config.nt


Sorry. I'm quite novice with computers...



*******
In the meantime, check if the file windows\repair\config.nt exists, and copy it to system32 folder. I know this file disappearing used to happen in XP.

125.Posted by StabbingRetard on Apr 07 2008 at 02:42

I am using Vista, and instead of trying to change the file names I just ignored it... but I think that the problem is that It isn't creating a movies folder in program files, but is pretending the movies are on the CD image. ( I got to one of the corrupted video's and it crashed) I am going to download another CD image to try and get it to work. I will tell you if it works. Has anyone else run into this problem or am I just not following directions like I should...

129.Posted by Sebass63 on Apr 07 2008 at 20:18

Um, it does say that my game is v1.0 in regedit. Would this affect anything?

131.Posted by Chang_Kho on Apr 08 2008 at 01:43

Hey "StabbingRetar......." *couldn't write your name correctly 'cause it says i'm swearing ^^


You're using Vista ain't? Could you please help me on my problem?

My prob is that #Windows\system32\config.nt the required system file is missing... So when I'm trying to install the game, it says that.
Did you have same prob when installing..??

I didin't find the file from my computer, so is there other way to replace the missing file?

I'm Using Windows VISTA Business 32-bit platform, ATI X2500 etc...

133.Posted by StabbingRetard on Apr 08 2008 at 02:46

Chang_Kho Sorry I didn't have that problem, Everything installed correctly. And thanks again Sagus, I appreciate the game and all of the help you have been giving me, i feel pretty (insert end of my name here)ed. I'm going to go attempt to edit the registry...

138.Posted by Markos1990 on Apr 09 2008 at 01:20

nothing worked man.. i dont know why not. i put in an older driver of my GeForce Ti 4400 and did everything i was told. this blows i really wanna play too.

142.Posted by shadow94 on Apr 09 2008 at 10:01

Do I need to burn that file to a CD?

145.Posted by StabbingRetard on Apr 10 2008 at 02:37

refer to comment 161 if you want to know what I am talking about...

I get to the front of the train and a menu pops up saying use the left lever use these buttons and use the right lever use these buttons. When I use the buttons, nothing happens at all. It makes me sit there and wait for 6ish minutes until I crash the train into the city...

I guess I will just move on, I was just wondering if there was some way around this thanks!

147.Posted by Markos1990 on Apr 11 2008 at 03:54

Any Ideas Sagus?

149.Posted by Ruri-kun on Apr 11 2008 at 15:32

Also i noticed that i did not have 8-bit texture support so i did as post 98 said (mind i installed *only* TrueMotion2, nothing else, i hope it's not a problem) but nothing changed.

152.Posted by Nicko4665 on Apr 12 2008 at 18:19

Hi.
When I start up the game I'm asked to insert CD. I've tried mounting all 4 CDs in DaemonTools, but it doesn't work. What should I do?

201.Posted by Heartilly on May 06 2008 at 19:45

Sagus, thanks for the uploading... But I m having some problems... Can you please give me a pic, or something to tell me what to do with the videos? plz.. and thank you....

203.Posted by onearmedcory on May 08 2008 at 09:21

First of all thank you, and I see what an excellent job you're doing as an uploader maintaining your upload.

My problem is that as soon as I I click Play FFVII my computer turns black, as though a game was about to load, then my computer immediately restarts.

No other comflict or freeze causes my comp to restart (or even freeze) this smooothly, and it seems bizarre to me.

I am an experienced rom and torrent user; I have carefully read your previous comments, followed your instructions carefully, and I have in the past fixed on my own problems with any other downloaded games. I have an Nvidia card, but I have applied the patch.
If you have encoutered this prob before and can explain , it would be greatly appreciated if you could impart yout advice,

cheers

205.Posted by taylor125 on May 09 2008 at 01:55

Ok Sagus,

I've installed the game and the XP patch by the way thank you so much for uploading for all us leechers. I have one problem that I just can't figure out on my own, when I get to the first motorcycle mini game (which still runs to fast despite the patch) I get a message stating to put the disk 1 in, even if I dismount and remount the iso image with PowerISO, and it takes then I get a encounter error, and I end up fighting a giant pyramid instead of the bird looking robot, if I beat it then I end up on the world map on an island that I literally can't move off of in the upper northwest corner of the map. Please any help would be appreciated.

Just to say thank you Sagus for this awesome torrent...Everything has been running smoothly until now and I hope it keeps going on like this...Also, to everyone who keeps whining about how to do this and how to do that I only say this.None of us were born with computer skills but we somehow managed to find out how to install a simple game.Just experiment with your PC a bit,it won't hurt anyone...

219.Posted by Inferniac on May 17 2008 at 09:34

Post 259:Yes,I suppose you're right about the regedit thing,but as long as people follow a few simple instructions they should be fine...And it's not that there weren't instructions here...

230.Posted by cloudblade70 on May 25 2008 at 19:13

Thanks for the game, Sagus. One quick problem: after a lot of work with codecs, etc. I was finally able to get the game to play correctly with the movies. However, once I got to the Cosmo Canyon planetarium scene, my game does something weird. The movies play fine, but after the movie with the meteors going into the black hole, the game stops progressing. The music keeps on going, but it just shows the four characters sitting around in the planetarium doing nothing. I don't think it's the movie files being corrupt or anything because I've tried switching the movies to the eidoslogo.avi file, and they play correctly, but it still gets stuck in the same place. Anyone have any advice?

Thanks!

232.Posted by Krakk on May 26 2008 at 17:40

post 271-275 is the same problem i think, so if any1 knows how to fix it plz helP!

234.Posted by DNAxSUICIDE on May 26 2008 at 23:34

Nvm,found out it was the correct music. It still does not show the intro, but after my first battle (which I start while I can't see a thing) the music kicks in and there seem to be no more problems.

236.Posted by djabi90 on May 27 2008 at 20:48

just want to say thanks Sagus! Final Fantasy VII is by far my favorite game of all time. On the PS1, it rocked! Now only if i can get it to work on my pc. i have looked in forums for this problem but found no solution. My problem is that everytime I open CD1 or CD2, or any CD to copy the movies my explorer.exe closes. This happens all the time. I am under Windows XP Pro SP3 with a nVidia 7600GT and Intel Core 2 Duo. DO you know of any fix for this?
Thank You Very Much!

248.Posted by Rufi65 on Jun 10 2008 at 06:41

I have a new problem that i have not seen yet. When I start playing, the intro movie with the stars is upside down and then when the game actualyl starts it corrects is self and then shortly after encounters an error and closes out. I don't think i did the movies right and i also did not have a file named regedit.exe for the movies so i just put them in my data folder in the actual game folder.

250.Posted by huhwhat on Jun 11 2008 at 11:32

Nvm. I edited the check back in and it works fine now

As i was looking through the ultima version's folder i saw the movies folder, and it occurred to me, could you use the movies from the ultima edition in this one to replace the broken movies? Also, will all of the high res patches work for the ultima edition, it the above does not work?

Yes, i know all that. But there nr. 302/303 got it to work without cd's apparently. That's all what I want to know. And ofcourse how to get an image when exiting the gold saucer air train thingy!

Hi, first of all thank you for uploading this game! But I have a problem, I tried to use the mgp patch to solve the Chocobo Race problem but it didn't work, so I downloaded the FF7 XP patch but it still crashes My question is: where EXACTLY do I install the patch for the chocobo race?

I really don't know what to do, I have downloaded the video already but I don't know what folder should I copy it to and I don't know if I have to rename it or anything.

ok friends, Ive been reading this discussion for awhile, but i cant find an answer to my question.

I got the game to work initially - it installed fine, disk 1 started working, etc, etc. Good times.

But now, each time i open the program, it crashes. Also, each time i mount a disk to a virtual drive, it just opens the file folder where the disk image is located; it doesnt 'play disk', it just shows me the content of the disk.

Does anyone have any idea what i should do? Ive tried both power ISO and Daemon and i just cant make this magic happen.

Help?

284.Posted by dsett02 on Jun 24 2008 at 22:15

hey im another user at the biglight video. I understand that its a corrupted video or whatever and i need to switch it out for another, and i also understand that i have to do this regedit.exe thing to change the movie path but i dont know how, so if someone could help me with that thatd be a great help. also i think its gay that this thing is sooo ****ing complicated, and that were told if we dont know anything about computers or regedit we shouldnt bother downloading this even though i didnt realize i couldnt keep playing till im 10 hours into the game.

286.Posted by shinobixi on Jul 01 2008 at 15:48

4) Video Problems (part2)

-as for the damaged videos, they are:
biglight.avi [in disc 2]
ending1.avi [in disc 2]
greatpit.avi [under ‘cloud vs. sephiroth’ in disc 3]
last4_4.avi [under ‘enter the crater’ in disc 3]
you can download them from these sites:
http://fmv.thehylia.com/final-fantasy-7-disk-2
http://fmv.thehylia.com/final-fantasy-7-disk-3
I didn’t really understand the copying of movies and blahblah, so instead I replaced the damaged videos with my downloaded ones and copied all movies from all 3 discs into one main folder in the ff7 installation directory under a new folder which I named movies. Then I regedit the Windows registry : Start – run – type REGEDIT – go under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\ - change “MoviePath” to where you placed your movies folder. It should look something like this:
D:\Games\Final Fantasy VII\movies\

VIDEO PROBLEMS]
Copy the movies in each of the CDs to the hard drive
(Recommended: %Programfiles%\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\movies)
and replace the following files with "eidoslogo.avi".
You will have to copy this file somewhere else and rename it to each of these filenames:

biglight.avi
ending1.avi
greatpit.avi
last4_4.avi

i dont have a location - Final Fantasy VII\data\movies

i have -

Final Fantasy VII\data\music

can you explain to me like you would a child.

I mean where is there a "eidoslogo.avi" anywhere really need help please

292.Posted by Draconyite on Jul 04 2008 at 10:01

Pollington, here's what you have to do:

Go to My Computer > right click the disk you have mounted > explore > ff7 > data > movies. Copy all the movies to a new folder in your main FFVII folder called "movies".

Copy "eidoslogo.avi" into a new folder four times (into the same folder). Rename each one of those files to the names of the four movies that are listed. Copy those four movies back into the movie folder you created earlier and overwrite the old ones.

Next: go to regedit under the run command. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Square Soft, Inc.>Final Fantasy VII. Edit the MoviePath data to match the folder location where you stored the movies.

You're not wrong there.

Pollington, I said it before, there is not movies folder, YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT.
When you have, copy all the videos out of the movie folder from .iso into the folder you made, and then copy out eideslogo 4 times, and rename 3 of them to the broken videos.

There.

298.Posted by shinobixi on Jul 06 2008 at 18:53

@pollington1335: read comment #346 and follow the instructions. i do believe my instructions are pretty clear. (:

@skypioneer: im no computer expert so i dont think i'll be able to solve your problem. buuuut, there are plenty of ff7 problem solvers down at qhimm forums, so you might wanna click on the link i found for ya(i got pretty lazy after browsing for a while). hopefully, you'll be able to play your game now...

by the way, do you remember the three boxes you're suppose to uncheck during the installation process? directshow is one of them. anyway, don't be rude, i know what i was saying.

@lfam00: the patches and mods included are the ff7 xp v1.02 patch, mini-games patch and the high res patch. read how to get the rest of the patches at comment 344

I had the blackout with NO sound, no matter what I did & the more I tried to start over, the more bugs emerged. I did everything this thread told me to & still no JOY. In the end I formatted one of my hard drives & started clean. At last it works!

Here's what I did:

Freshly formatted HDD w/ windows, antivirus & drivers installed, so no previous codecs. Install ACE mega codes pack professional install obtained from link in this thread (media player classic is included).

Install game

copy the movie files as directed & replace eroneous files with eidoslogo (though I will later replace properly) & update registry by copy/paste from address bar of movies folder

replace main executable & config exe with update 1.02 patch & use config to set for nvidia card (though correct settings were already checked)

copy the saint hi res patch into game folder & run.

Play!

One more time thread hogging just to make sure you all notice me

Puhhlleeeeaaassseeeee let me know where the best place is to download the next installment of this awesome series. Final Fanstasy 8!

I actually though this was the game I used to play on PS1 but it's not. That must be FF8 & I'm dying to play it on PC.

Also are there cheats for the PC? Console commands?

PS What about all the other awesome original PS games like Suikoden? Resident Evil & Silent Hill (I have silent hill 4 & it ****ed badly)?

306.Posted by lithocardia on Jul 09 2008 at 13:40

Cloud92, just out of curiosity, why are you still running Vista? Does it offer something that is better than XP. I've never tried Vista, so I'm genuinely interested. It just sounds like it's so much more trouble than it's worth.

Also... Sagus & FF saga fans, I'm still hoping someone will clue me in for the best torrent with least obstacles for Final Fantasy 8. Some of the comments in this thread stated that for THIS chapter, there is another torrent for 'ultima' or 'unlimate' that's just as simple to run as loading an ISO, but I got the impression that it's so simply to run partly because it doesn't have the movies? If that's true it would ruin the game for me. I see the movies like a reward. So with that in mind, I'm after the full version of FF8 with least issues & fair amount of seeds at the moment.

WHAT'S THE BEST TORRENT FOR NUMBER 8? FINAL FANTASY VIII

THANKS AGAIN SAGUS> I'M LOVING PLAYING THE GAME AGAIN 10 YEARS ON!

pls ignore last comment. Even tho I know better, I was stupidly keep putting cd2 into daemon. (Disk1).... groan. *hides head in sand*

This does give me another chance to be the last poster for the thread for now so once again I can be noticed saying:

Hmm... I have mounted and installed Final Fantasy VII (PC) to Alcohol 120%, but I cannot seem to get it running. If I click on the virtual drive with either of the files including discs 1-3 (excluding the install disc - because I can get that one to run) it leads me to a folder with four other folders which are "field, minigame, movies, and mw." Is there a way to run the disc with out it displaying the folders on the virtual drive?

312.Posted by SkyPioneer on Jul 15 2008 at 05:07

@rccall_rccall and aaznfro
Please list your PC's specifications, that might help us help you.

@Ikaru-Kitanoru
That's a **** question. You just mount one of the disks (excluding the installation disk) and then nevigate to your FFVII installation folder. Then run the game from there (it should be ff7.exe)

Anyone else needs help, post cleary (that is by not saying "PWWWEEEEEAAAEEEZZEEZZEEEE GAAAIIIIIIIZZZZ MAAAH FAINAL FANTAISY IS NUT WERKIN"

yes, they play in wmp, and wmp classic, but not in bs, or vlc.

356.Posted by crake on Oct 12 2008 at 23:10

yes, i just said that i renamed eidoslogos into those 4 or 5 names and i copied the eidoslogo-renamed ones into movies, replacing the old greatpit, biglight.. ones.

and.. well, if i renamed eidoslogo into another file, than i guess its understandable that it plays the eidoslogo movie when i click one of those files.. right?

To "undeadsquirrel" be sure that you still have the disc1 mounted with poweriso (or whatever program you use to mount with) you will find the first game disc in the disc2 folder.

Mount cd2. Go to my computer. Right click on the drive the game is mounted to. Left click open. And there you will find the movies.

Hope that helps you Askar450

The movie folders are going to be in the Squaresoft program folder on your c: drive (or wherever your programs install to). This is of course after you have already installed the game.

Hello to all, I have a big problem about this game so here how it goes. I follow all the instructions in every read me file,etc. I also replace the regedit thing I make it: C:\Program Files\Square Soft\Final Fantasy VII\data\movies\ ,then I copy & paste all the movies in each images that I mounted on; C:\Program Files\Square Soft\Final Fantasy VII\data\movies ,I also patch all almost all the patches except the saint. and I also download the 4 corrupted videos and replace them. But every time I used to click the ff7

372.Posted by Askar450 on Nov 12 2008 at 08:11

378.Posted by Askar450 on Nov 15 2008 at 02:12

Lala Mae I'm a dude, lol but anyways you need to make the movies work before you move them if you can't see them then you they wont work either way so first of reinstall FF7 and get a fresh new copy with no patches on it then go to http://www.ff7-universe.com download the FFVII 1.02 patch, once you have those files delete the original ff7.exe and ff7config.exe with the ones you just downloaded when you're done with that download the chocobo patch from the same site and run it locate the new ff7.exe file and patch it up now run it again

For all the problems, questions and FF7 needs go to:
fem1{dot}uniag{dot}sk{slash}Miroslav{dot}Jezikff7ncopam{dot}html

This is a web page I discovered after my last post here, made by a true FF7 fan, that can solve most of peoples problems with the game.

boing666 and drum1911 you don't have to change the path, play the videos frome the cds or the images, it works for me.

386.Posted by Gull on Dec 10 2008 at 03:30

Yes that is correct drum1911, mount the game images with daemon tools, those cd images contain all the videos.
BUT make sure you use the same drive letter (virtual or not) from witch you made the installation of FF7.
For example if you installed the game from drive E: the cd or image in order to play FF7 should also be in drive E:

Anything else you might need (including solutions to problems) is on the web site:

388.Posted by Gull on Dec 12 2008 at 13:18

UndeadSquirrel I just clicked on the link and worked perfectly.
So I guess your ISP doesn't work, too bad.

As for my suggestions, they work for me!

You also mention something about "corrupted" when mounted disk images, maybe that is the cause of your problems, all the files in this torrent are fine, but maybe you got a data corruption problem. Have your torrent program check the CRCs of your download to see if you got all the files correct.

I got NO "corrupted" when mounted message when I used daemon tools.

Come to think of it the only time I had problems with corrupted downloads was when I was using Nvidia's firewall, on an nForce board.

390.Posted by Gull on Dec 18 2008 at 02:24

Never played the game on a laptop, I don't know why the keyboard stops working, never happened to me on a regular keyboard, if you have any regular keyboard around, plug it in the laptop and try again.

KieranCleary inside "ff7_cd2" is actually game disk 1 and disk 2 is in "ff7_cd3" folder. If the game doesn't like the disk 2 you feed it, try the rest of the disks one by one and see what happens. If that doesn't work use daemon tools instead. Hope that helps.

392.Posted by Gull on Dec 18 2008 at 15:43

I once tried Magic Disc and didn't like it, never used it again. As of the "Daemon lite" installation problem, chances are that Magic Disc is causing it (probably a scsi driver conflict). I have had success running FFVII with Alcohol 120% ver 1.4.8 (old version) and Daemon tools ver 3.47 (old version too). Actually right now I have them both in the same pc and they are getting along nicely.

My suggestion KieranCleary would be to uninstall "Magic Disc" and to try again with "Daemon lite". If that doesn't work use a previous version of "Daemon tools" which should work. You can find em all here:
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5

Now I hope THAT helps

1) Have you downloaded the game from this torrent? If so what program did you use?

2) Do you still get messages about corrupted images when you mount them with programs such as Daemon tools?

3) What other 3D games has your computer successfully run?

4) What is your PCs configuration (hardware and software)?

5) Do you have an updated anti virus program in your PC?

6) Have you actually red:

?

7) Do you still receive the "Please insert FF7 Game Disc 1, 2, or 3 and try again." message even when you mount the right images ON THE SAME VIRTUAL DRIVE that you used to install the game? (Note #1 forget about burning the images, Note #2 BEFORE you even touch the registry of course, in a fresh install)

If you answer these questions truthfully we may be able to help you.

Well to begin with your PC seems to be fine and able to run FFVII. What worries me is the corrupted message when you mount the install disk, I have installed this game in 2 different PC using various virtual drive programs (Daemon tools ver 3.47, Alcohol 120% ver 1.4.8, and tested daemon4302-lite today), they all worked fine. I had no problem mounting the install disk or any other. And keep in mind that you don't need to copy the movies to the hard disk to play the game, so you don't need to edit the registry.

So to begin with, you should check if the image of the install disk you downloaded is correct. First to do a scandisk to your hard disk. Second If you still have the torrent in µTorrent 1.8 it is easy, just press stop to stop the torrent right click on it and press "force Re-Check", if you deleted the torrent, down load the torrent only, and point it to where the game files are, don't worry it won't erase them but it will check their integrity.

Good luck to you. Just as a side note I would like to add to the two previous posts, since I didn't want to triple post and the two previous posts couldn't take another word, that on the second PC witch has an ATI video card I was forced to Install The_SaiNt_s_High_Res_FF7PC_Patch_v1.00 because the game wouldn't start otherwise.

Oh and....

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL ! ! !

As far as the comments goes, I think I have understood everything needed to run this game. My PC is also dual booted with Windows 98 SE and XP Pro SP2. So I know 98 SE will run FFVII without most patchups! But if I ever get stuck I will question here for sure.

But the reason I posted here was because I WANT WORKING FMV FILES for the corrupted ones:

biglight.avi
ending1.avi
greatpit.avi
last4_4.avi

I know you will probably point me to "http://fmv.thehylia.com/.." or something but I did check it out and THE LINK IS DEAD! It turned up a 404 when I last checked the site. If anybody knows of a working link can he/she tell me? Or if anybody has atleast these four videos, could he/she upload them or torrent them please? I know the eidoslogo.avi workaround will help but I want the real videos instead. I will be grateful to Sagus or anyone who helps me get the corrupted videos replaced with good ones.

I NEED THE VIDEOS!!!!

I downloaded & installed the codec and followed all the instructions and it did the same thing still.
Any suggestions?

416.Posted by Sarah1987 on Jan 26 2009 at 06:04

I'm gonna try it again. I'm not running Vista though. I'm using Windows XP. I''ll let you know how it works out. Thanks so much for your input and help, I appreciate it whether it works or not LOL
I just don't understand why it's doing this after I've played so much of he game already.

418.Posted by Gull on Jan 27 2009 at 04:01

We all faced the exact same problem playing the game. The problem is that the codec that comes with the game in order to play the videos of the game cannot play 4 or 5 of them crashing basically the game with it. I only looked it up the net when it happened to me, it is a VERY annoying and frustrating bug, I know I've been there. The problem can be solved BUT it requires a some technical knowledge, so take a big breath, relax and follow these instructions to the letter:

1) You are using XP, that's good but you have to make sure your user account belongs to the administrators group, that means you can install/uninstall drivers, programs,codecs and everything.

2)Go to http://fem1.uniag.sk/Miroslav.Jezik/ff7ncopam.html and download
"TrueMotion codec"

3)Go to http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm and download the Standard Version.

4)Open TrueMotion_codec.zip read and follow the instructions in recommendation.txt to the letter.

If you do those right you have 95% chance of success.

420.Posted by Gull on Jan 30 2009 at 01:44

I am happy to be able to help

As for the game sounds in battles, it is probably a volume problem. Try lowering midi volume and put wave volume at the top from volume controls, but this has nothing to do with TrueMotion codec mentioned in earlier posts.

422.Posted by Whatever99999 on Jan 30 2009 at 15:51

yeah i tried it with volume settings, but still no sounds...to be more precisly, i dont have ANY sounds at all

424.Posted by Whatever99999 on Jan 31 2009 at 16:20

hm....looks like my "being more precisly" turned out to be more confusing %-)

ok here the situation in detail:

works fine:
- win sounds
- win music
- FF7 Config music test
- FF7 Config sounds test
- FF7 ingame music

what does not work
- FF7 ingame sounds

i already tried switching all kinds of volume controlls ans whatsoever...nothin worked since soundcards are correct detected and the FF7 configurator has no problem with playing the sample-sounds, its more like the sound data is just missing :/

in my FF7\Data\Sound\ Directory, there are only 2 files
- audio.dat ( 70 mb )
- audio.fmt ( 54 kb )

is this correct?

426.Posted by Whatever99999 on Feb 03 2009 at 20:36

well well...it just won't work. by trying multiple configurations in the windows volume-controll,

the only thing i found out was that the FF-Music uses the Wave-Table...

anyway, i also installed FF8, and guess what - same problem.
(i played FF8 some time ago on excact THIS machine without that sound-problem )



by now i have another idea and would like to hear your oppinion about it :
all music-files are single files within the music-directory.
The sound-files are packed into 1 file (audio.dat)
[b]
--> may it be, that my machine is unable of decompromising this audio.dat and therefor no soundfiles can be played within the game?[/b]

and if this might be possbility, how to fix this?

428.Posted by FotisGR on Mar 02 2009 at 04:22

i read most of the comments and still didnt manage to play the game. I'm not a noob but i've been trounleshooting for the last 4 hours. It just aint worth it.


the instructions icluded in the downloaded files should have been much more explainatory and should have contained troubleshooting as well

Sagus respect for the help

430.Posted by GameGirl2009 on Mar 06 2009 at 12:45

Hey guys... it's the older version, right? Not the Ultima Edition?

432.Posted by Neotears on Apr 12 2009 at 20:44

Finished this a few days ago and finally got around to trying to use it. I downloaded Alcohol 120% and Mounted the first disk, which automatically got me to install the game. Then I tried to Mount FFVIIDISC1 but it opens the:
"What do you want Windows to do?
Play using Windows Media Player
Play Video Files using InterVideo WinDVD
Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer
Take no action"

Selecting the first two options just plays a video. Upside down at that.
Opening the folder shows me a folder named "ff7" in which inside are folders named "field" "minigame" "movies" "wm"
At this point I gave up and used the "Image Burning Wizard" and when it loaded the CD, it opens the exact same options as above. I am at a loss of what do do. I am completely new with any of this..

I have a huge problem that I can't fix. Whenever I enter into a battle or the first battle it crashes and I can't fix it. I have followed every sites step by step order and it still happens. Can someone please help me.

439.Posted by glenn22 on May 19 2009 at 22:08

I dont know if this has been answered. I pro;lly screwed up when i went to copy over the movies i looked in the C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\data\ and i didn't see a movie file did i screw up?

442.Posted by Ant9t on May 29 2009 at 03:51

Hi Sagus. I'm having trouble getting the game to work. I've installed both the game and the movie player, replaced all four movie files with eidoslogo.avi and I've patched to 1.02.

I compiled all 3 movie folders from each disc into C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\Data\movies and changed the four movie files to eidoslogo and renamed them respectively. This was really turbulent as Windows Explorer would keep crashing every single time I clicked on one of the avis or opened the movie folders, although I managed to get it done.

Now, just as before (when I didn't change the movie files), the game crashes as soon as I start it. I'm not exactly sure what's wrong. I have FF7DISC1.mds mounted on DAEMON Tools Lite and still, whenever I launch the game it crashes right away. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

Thanks

hi guys, have a little problem here:
just made after gaea/s cliffs, no problems until the "greatpit" movie, tried to replace with eidoslogo in the C: folder (coz CD is unable to rewrite) but it still freeze at half vid, while on VLC it works, any ideas to solve?

450.Posted by TeaPlz on Aug 18 2009 at 01:55

Hey, Sagus. Just wanted to say thanks for providing this upload, especially since it's not Ultima and it works. ^^ It works fine for me after following all of your advice as well as the advice from others on here.

But I just had a quick question: I'm trying to write up a full guide on how to get around the biggest problems and I was wondering if I could link this torrent in the guide as a good, dependable place to download the game. ^^ But I completely understand if you wanna keep your name/torrent out of such a guide.

Either way, thanks for the torrent and the help you've been providing to everyone on here! ^_^ You're seriously amazing for all of this.

452.Posted by meninejuh on Sep 12 2009 at 20:54

Thank you so much, really. I'm already in the end of the second cd and no problems so far. That's an awesome game, and your instructions were easy to understand. Thanks again.
