I'm havin' quite another problem with garden: it crashes, EVERY TIME!!
But there's somehting u should know: If Garden would work properly Qhimm would have released an compiled version. So, even if u get it running, there's a high chance of a crash...
- Alhexx
BTW: I can't really help u, b'cause I don't have a FF8 Demo, I've got only the Full Version...
