The long-time rumored Test 0.  Hehe......

**I think you can post it on 'General', since it's related to FF7.

I personally think that a lot of new stuff will pop up if they reverse engineer the
"Square Extra Preview No. 5" and the other Demo.

Read the description.  Some test/debug battles are different between original Japanese version and later versions(look at the awesome battle background).  Also there's once rumored Test 0, which can be encountered at certain place without using cheat codes(I mean, cheat devices) in original version.

I've done that with the sampler disc and there's just the necessary data for the demo to work. Moreover, the demo uses KERNEL.BIN to store all the enemy data (IIRC, there's no SCENE.BIN) and item strings are fixed length instead of pointer-based.

This is the same version that had the hidden rooms for the Honey bee inn. In theory, you could actually restore those levels....

I believe that Tsetra is (or was) working on doing just that. I for one think it would be great to see all of those unused scenes (not just the Honeybee Inn ones); a lot of character development seems to be skipped for the minor characters like Jessie and I'd like to see it back.

How simple would it be to insert that battle background to replace the blank background on the pyramid battles?

Maybe when Team Avalanche finishes everything else they could whip up a new snazzy high-res version of that.</wishful thinking>

This reminds me that I need to post a vid on Youtube detailing the one FFVII glitch people still haven't found. Any guesses on what it is?

Well, you need to access the Debug Room to pull it off. And it's fighting about one of the WEAPONs.

No, it's when you are actually fighting one of the Weapons.

I'm guessing you mean the Cid event that triggers a battle with Diamond.

Oh, just say what it is >:(

I'm imagining it has something to do with Ultimate Weapon... a glitch in which he dies in the wrong place, maybe?

"Bosala" looks like a typo of "Bosola" to me, although Bosola hasn't even posted in this thread yet.

Stop complaining Assola ;D

I can sympathise to a certain extent with people who misspell: I've got Covarr wrong before and I've misspelt NFITC1 god know how many times. However, I can't see why Bosola would be so hard ???

No, that's everybody. You don't know how many times I've seen my name misspelled.
  • Covvar
  • Covar
  • Covarrr
  • Coovar
Interestingly, the problem usually seems to be related to doubling of letters.
