Hey titeguy3, first of all let me thank you for the work you have done, the samples look awesome.
As many of us FFVII has been the best experience of my gamer's life, and I am really eager to play it again, especially with the compilation you've managed to do.
That's why I first dl ultima edition, and I then moved to the official pc edition with 4 cd in order to take advantage of the many mod developped for it. I installed it, didn't play it, and I then dl and installed your compilation (as Administrator). I runned it a first time, it told me to insert cd 1,2 or 3. I tried each CD alone and finally mounted the 3 together. The game seemed to start but the only thing I got was a black screen.
You said
*Note that most installation issues can be solved by turning off User Account Control (Vista) and running the file "FF7OpenGL.reg" in the "Final Fantasy VII" folder.
So did I. When I tried with one cd, the "insert cd 1,2,3" appeared, but also a dos window and the FFVIImusic window (please see below for it the debug message).
When I tried with the three cds together, It takes me to the black screen. The good point is that I didn't need to reboot anymore, the program just finally said it encountered a problem and shuted down.
Sorry for the english mistakes, I'm French.
I run FFVII on vista, the directory of the game is "C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII" and the debug information is the following:
DataPath is C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\ficedula\
