Troubleshooting / Running FFVII in WINE (Linux)
« on: 2010-03-28 15:02:01 »
hey every one i got ff7 working  via wine on kubuntu (8.10-10.10) and it should also apply to other gnu/linux distros. getting ff7 to work with wine requires some 3rd party patches that will be provided, via an external links, and you will NEED a retail copy of the disks to play on your computer!
Why make this ??
FF7 is an awesome Game and IMHO one of (if not the) best rpg's of all time and i am very happy to be able to help everyone get it working with wine so we can all play it again(and maybe for the first time), and since this requires some extra work, i have created a guide so that all of us who bought this game for the pc (and some of us even after already having it for the psx.). can finally use the game with linux,(maybe even mac os via darwine).

Getting FF7 To Work In Wine on Kubuntu 9.04

Before We Get Started You Will Need to have a few things installed and some ff7 tools gathered
Things you will need, and where to get them
1.A copy of Final Fantasy 7 For The PC.

I am not sure if you can find it on a store shelf any more, but I would look on ebay if you don't have a copy. You will need these disks not only to install but also to play the game.
2.Wine installed. On your machine
   You don't need to worry about configuring wine much yet (other then mapping your cdrom as D:\ ). But just install it from the wine repo
info on how to install wine can be found here . Find your distro and follow the instructions to install wine on your machine (kubuntu users use ubuntu instructions)
I current have wine 1.1.27 installed at time of writing

3.Winetools , a helper script.(included with newer wine versions)
   You will need wine tools to install some of the dependencies of FF7 and for dependencies for some of the patches you NEED to apply (also for optional stuff) You can get winetools from here extract the archive and place winetools in your /home folder.

4.A Few Extra Items..
FF7 will need these in order to run on linux, a HUGE thanks to everyone in these and other ff7 projects.
 FF7 1.02 Update (Link removed; domain was sniped and replaced with spam. ~Covarr)
    aali's open gl Driver

THE INSTALL PROCESS

Step 1: Pre Install Setup.
INSTALL YOUR VIDEO CARD DRIVERS! , this process depends greatly on your video card, some of you may have no drivers to install basicly if you can run glxgears you can play ff7
Open konsole and cd ~/
run
Code: [Select]
sh winetricksthis will open a gui you will need to install by selecting and clicking ok the following (one at a time is good in case of errors try again)
   corefonts
   directx9
   ffdshow (use defaults and allow for all programs when asked for video and audio)
   vcrun2008
   mfc42 (unsure of this as a requirement try with out it first install if needed, please comment)
   I might have missed a few vcrun2005 comes to mind.

Step 2: Install FF7
pop in you install cd and install as normal uncheck run ff7 config after install when prompted.

Step 3: Post Install Modding for Wine Compatibility
 this step is VERY  easy install aali's driver by coping the contents of the archive he provieds to your ff7 install dir, then running his moded ff7config.exe
you may also want to check out the ff7_opengl.cfg  file to set your res and a few other options. You do not have to make any changes to the cfg if you don't want to.

Step 5: life sucks with out background music. Here we have two choices!

***New version of aali's driver support background music in ogg format . see here for music****
1.NATIVE MIDI. (timidy is useful if you want this consult your distros docs for info on setting it up)
1a.Open up ff7config.exe and set your midi device to timidy port0 (there are quite a few if 0 don't work try others)
1b.then set the midi mode to yamaha XG midi (cause it sounds better)
1c.press the test button.
2.USING FF7MUSIC
be warned this can be buggy!
2a, go grab covarrs installer and be sure to use ogg as your output since it seams to work better with wine. (the newer installer does this by default.)

Step 6: Getting the wine sound to work (if it didn't the first time)
Open  the wine config tool
a. click the audio tab
check off alsa and test sound. If it works hit apply and ok if not try other sound output until you get one that works.

Step 7:  Run the game!

   Put disk one in you cd drive
for midi bkround music users : run ff7.exe
for  ff7music users run ficedula/ff7music.exe
and click run ff7 , if all goes well it should start up …
you may have to fiddle with settings to get ff7music to work  (covarrs installer , has helped this alot!)
Using this set up I can get ff7 to play so far perfectly! ,very few times the bkmusic will stop for a few seconds here and there but will start backup. Also very few times the screen will go black (had a sleep timer on my display , oops.)

ENJOY!

NOTE: if you have kubuntu 10.10, and you have tried to fix the sound effects but still can't get them to work(but ff7 music does) then you will have to install a pulseaudio enabled version of wine please use google to search for winepulse and you should find the proper PPA easily. Or you can remove pulseaudio (my perfered way to fix)

for more info on tool and mod compatibility (or to provide some) please see this thread
ff7 related  tools and mods with wine



- I've split this out into its own topic, and stickied. It seemed to deserve the attention. - Bosola


Bosola you have broken links in other threads please correct the link in the thread you split this from *KM's first post. (then remove this and above note plz :D)

*Computer Literacy Graph*
thats basicly what i was trying to get at about mac os. thats basicly apples market, people who think that their computer is another appliance , a tool to be used, an end to a means and nothing more of course some of them don't stay that way. and may then learn quite a bit about that mac they use.

i learned alot of what i know about computers and computer repair from macs. i didn't have a choice my school had all macs. its funny there was over 400 macs , and about 15 wintel boxes. i learned how to use,repair,hack and quite a few other things, since everyone else had windows machines out side of school i learned about them (well i had some classes w/ the windoze comps). a friend of mine had ordered a copy of red had for his pII computer. and it was my first linux exp, ever since then i had always check in w/ a current distro, seeing how they were progressing the whole time running windows , and eventually i found my self using windows less and less, and now i run linux on just about everything, its nice when the same stuff works on almost any hw platform :).

i think the whole idea of the apple key is to make it the main modifier key. that is why is so close to your thumb and replaces crtl for most everything. the whole idea of mac OS is to make the computer a easy to use and powerful tool for people.inow don't get me wrong i'm not all for mac os. i liked os < X , what is now called "classic". to me OS X will always = fail.

 

1541
there's no Mac equivalent to anything like a registry editor,
thats because the registry is F***ing retarded, its a windows only beast.
some of which are even hardware issues, like the usage of the applelogo button
i don't get how the apple buttons is any different then the windows key.. just another modifier

It just irks me to not have control over my own computer.
it also really bothers my thats why i run linux. in windows you only have the illusion of control of you machine.

Hahaha, I just watched episode III yesterday. That "NOOooo" is some of the worst voice acting ever. I take it they didn't have James Earl Jones to do Vader's voice in that movie...

the best part about it is that they did have James Earl Jones do the voice!

i couldn't agree more vista = fail, win7 = fail
and on a side note i really wish m$ would stop stealing stuff from other people claming its there like that thing they call aero snap.. (i've had it in kde4 for a long time..) come to think of it win7 and vista really look A LOT  like kde4..

lol never played GOW but thats that almost as good as this Music video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Zc9NyYH-k  (if for some reason 1st one don't work)

Does this GoW3 fanaticism mean that videogames are mainstream now?
i think they have been so for a while or at least since most of the kids from the 70's and 80's who have grown up with them are adults. it sure seams that way.

I might just color each of them differently and see if I encounter anything other than yellow....

thats a good idea you should do the same to the other dupes.... maybe we can remove some of these unused models and use them for something else..
