Hi, I cannot understand the hex code thing, and I know that somebody has asked this question already before, but I didn't see an answere to the question, and that is:

i open Patch, it says...

''Unable to identify game executable. Do you wish to attempt adaptive patching?''

I choose yes

and it says...

''Could not locate XP vulnerability. This does no appear to be an unpatched FF7 executable''

I've tried to patch the 1.00 version, I don't know if I'm doing wrong, but that thing just overwrite my exe file, and it says that it is not the file or something....

Please help me.....

Isn't the patch for 1.02?  If the patch says 'Unable to identify blahblah...', surely you tried applying patch to wrong version of exe file(unless it is corrupted or modified by any way).

It seems to me that your exe is either already patched with some other screwy patch, pirated, or both.

How do I check the exe version? Does it mean that I have to install another ff7? Will I lose all the savepoints that I have made in the game? I'm worried about if I'm gonna have to play everything all over again....

[Covarr]

Get the official 1.02 exe from Eidos' website. You won't lose your saves or anything, you just have to replace the exe. Then try to install the patch over that.

Wow, it seems this topic keeps getting revived every year around the end of November.

I can't wait until November 2007.
