No matter how many times I get the okay by the system that my avatar is small enough, it never shows next to my posts? Any workarounds?

Troubleshooting / Need help using my PS3 Controller for FFVIII

« on: 2014-01-27 18:16:05 »

I'm using the year 2000, PC version of FFVIII, with Aali's Driver + SeeD + RaW mods.

Only thing else I'd like to do is get my PS3 controller working... which it's not.

I'm using BetterDS3. Mapped my buttons, and then proceeded to open FF8Config, and re-mapped the joystick controls again there.

I'm not sure if there was anything else to do after that, but I booted up the game and no joystick response; the game pretends I never mapped anything and the regular keyboard buttons I set work.

I didn't really see any other topics with this specific issue, and I'm not too sure I can find a direct solution, so here I am at these forums asking again.

Thanks in advance.

(P.S. I swear, my avatar is not showing, what's up with that!?)

Troubleshooting / Trouble installing Custom Driver for FF7/FF8 [v0.8.1b]

« on: 2014-01-26 03:03:36 »

I'm playing the 2000 version of Final Fantasy VIII.

However, I'm a bit confused when it comes to installing the custom drivers.

These are the steps:

Installation
1. Extract the archive into your ff7 or ff8 folder
2. Run FF7Config.exe to configure sound settings (the graphics configuration you can do at this point is irrelevant)
FF7:
3a. Apply the registry information in ff7_opengl.reg
4a. Change your settings in ff7_opengl.cfg
FF8:
3b. Make sure EAX is properly installed (run EAXUnified.exe to install it if unsure)
4b. Change your settings in ff8_opengl.cfg
5. Play!


My first question is about step 2: Since I'm not playing FF7, is step 2 still necessary? If so, where would I get "FF7Config.exe"?

After that, what exactly do I do in "ff8_opengl.cfg"? I got lucky on finding out notepad could open it, I just don't know what exact settings to change.

I ask this because I want to install the RaW and seeD mods, both of which can only be run while the driver is installed. And If the driver isn't working correctly, I'm pretty much outta luck! lol.

Thanks in advance!
