MP3 would give you very good results.

A PSX can not play an MP3. If it did you will have no CPU power to do anything else.

The R3000A is an embedded MIPS CPU from LSI that costs $6.99. It's *very* low power. The audio sound chip can only play ADPCM , which much like a .wav file. You can't compress it.

70 Minutes of audio = One CD

There are better compression formats than MP3, if your priority is small size and low CPU. You'll get lower audio quality, but I know it's a lot more feasible on the PSX. I don't know what these formats are, but hell even the SNES processor was able to manage compressed voice without a coprocessor (Virtual Bart, a sh*tty game, but technically kind of impressive).

The SNES used the SPC700, which was made by Sony. It's a smaller version of the SPU that's used in the PSX. It also used ADPCM for digital audio.

The SPC700 was designed by this one guy.... Minoru Akao, you might of heard of him. He became popular after he quit Sony and started working for some game company :)

Akao was sound programmer for VII wasn't he, or was that just because of his work on the actual SPU?

Wait, what? No. Both the SPC700 and the SPU were designed by Ken Kutaragi. Akao was Square's major sound programmer during the PlayStation era, but he never did any hardware design. I think you're confusing their names or something.

I'm pretty sure the Akao has his hands in the SPC700. I'll look it up later. Thanks for calling me on it if I'm wrong.

Just thought I should point this out; having the game fully voiced? Long story short; no. Ever heard of FF7Voice? That failed. We have the know-how to voice the PC Game and we STILL couldn't achieve it. It's basically technologically impossible to do it for the Playstation version for a start, so yeah.

I notice that all of the recent posts ITT have been about voices and the Squeenix staff. Are there any updates on this mod?

Hey dude, there's no reason to delete; there's a lot of information ITT. Just ask them to lock it.

In any case, I'm looking forward to any updates. :)

What do people think about me renaming and giving new uses and meaning to the weapons? Like Giving a weapon one advantage but also one disadvantage. For example it has the Fire element but makes materia growth naff.

I'd rather see them keep their names, but I think that adding more variety to the weapons is a must. It's a travesty that weapons are able to use different elements and inflict statuses, but never take advantage of this unless materia is used.

Anyway, I'm interested to see what you have in mind for special effects and advantages and disadvantages.

However I am aiming to finish disc 1 by the end of this month and have a very short Demo out sometime this week which will consist of 3 battles all new and made by me. I will include everything to fight these battles much like GarlandtheGreat does them Hard but not impossible expect to get an idea of what my patch will be like with this demo.

Well, i would like to test it, could you upload the beta please? I would love to test this beta.
It's a shame the second project was lost :(, but heeey it's not the end of the world, and we still have until 21/12/12 to finish it and play it :).
Edit:
By the way, where can I get the tools you use? i only have hex editor, hojo and wallmarket. I can't seem to find the other ones :/ .
