Archive / My friend is having an unusual problem with FF8

« on: 2002-07-30 02:25:42 »

ok heres his computer specs:

P4 1.3ghz
768MB ram
60GB hardrive
Voodoo 5
latest directx drivers
Windows ME

ok heres the problem, he loads up the game perfectly. gets to the title screen, selects new game, and it says to insert disc 1. we tried the other cd drive, and pressed ok, and then it just had a black screen and nothing happened. im not sure what to do. maybe some of you had the same problem. if you guys can figure it out, me and him will greatly appreciate it.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / FF8 Discovery about GF sounds-skilled computer people look!

« on: 2002-07-11 23:42:51 »

hey,

       i was browsin around the many  MANY sound files in FF8 using qhimm's FF8Sound program. i made it to a couple of sounds that were the different "pieces" of the GF animation sounds.  

Now, if you've ever played the PSX version of FF8, then you would know that for some reason, Square, changed Quezacotl's animation sound in the PC version. Why? nobody knows.  Also, when you summon Ifrit in the PSX version, right when he knocks the fireball towards the ground, he screams really loud, but you can hardly here it in the PC version.  Wonder what square was doin, probably there thumbs were up there arses while they made this game.

however, i found Quezacotl's GF sounds from the PC game. heres whats weird-i found the PSX sounds of Quezacotl as well! why did they do this?

now, my question is for you really smart computer people that play with the games inner workings----Is there anyway that you guys can incorporate the old PSX sounds into the PC version?  I think the PSX version sounds much better.  anyway, if you guys can figure out how to do this, that would be really cool. but i understand a lot of you guys have other projects your workin on.  give it a shot if you want to.

General Discussion / Places on Earth that remind you of FF7 and FF8

« on: 2001-08-18 05:30:00 »

Hey,

    I was always thinknig of this question, but i never knew who to ask.  This is a stupid question, but, is there any places on Earth that remind you or capture like the atmosphere of some places in ff7 and ff8?  I have a few: 1)green country-side(when you are on top of the train) that reminds me of some places in Richmond virginia, 2)balamb garden kinda reminds me of the university of richmond, 3)dollet reminds me of disney world(if you ever been there, im talking about the lake and theres the contemporary, polynesian and grand floridian resorts around it, the magic kingdom is also right near it).  Any other ideas, post em here.

General Discussion / Hardest Part of FFVIII

« on: 2001-04-02 05:20:00 »

This is a pointless topic.  But anyway, i think the hardest part of ff8 is on the way down to ultima weapon.  not fighting him, butgoing down into that cave and you fight really tough monsters like 2x iron giants at once, or behemoths and ruby dragons and you cant save and you have to be lucky to escape also until you get down to ultima weapon.  That i think is the hardest part of the game.
What do you think the hardest is guys?
