From what I can understand that's just not possible.
In order to work and create a moddable eviroment, 7thHeaven patches the Steam version of FFVII (which has achievements coded inside) in order to roll it back to the original CD version (that's what the Game Converter is for) that came out quite a lot of years ago, when achievements weren't even a thing. So the achievements can't be put back as with the version of the game you have after applying the Game Converter they are just not in the game anymore, they do not exist.

On the other hand, FFVIII uses an entirely different modding process of directly changing the textures via hard substitution of the files and by applying costum hashmaps for the game to be able to understand the usage of the new textures via an external tool (tonberry), which leaves the base game code (and thus achievements) basically untouched.

Just play through it vanilla if you reeeaally want those achieves. At least they've fixed the music so it's not that awful garbage it was before.

if you want steam achievements just open the Achievements.dat file in the steam save folder with black chocobo. edit it then save,  open steam it should check your local copy of the file. Do this before you convert the game the 97 style for modding.

Then you get not achievements after you convert the game since it will no longer support them. If you want the Achievements then play the steam version and then mod it.
