Archive / PS1/2 - PC - PSP - How about Xbox?

« on: 2007-04-20 03:38:13 »

I know people have been able to run FF7 on their PSP, but how about a modified original Xbox?  I recently picked up an Xbox 360, so my old Xbox is pretty much useless now.  I have FF7 for the PC, and I use my USB Xbox 360 controller to play and everything runs well.  I was wondering if anyone has tried or would be willing to try and run the game from the Xbox?  Basically, I want to mod my original xbox and get FF7 to run on it.  Has anyone heard of anything like this before?

Troubleshooting / Making a Backup Copy of FF7 / Run off the HDD

« on: 2007-04-09 00:20:53 »

Hello all:

I've been reading this forum for some time now in anticipation of my copy of Final Fantasy VII Platinum Edition to arrive in the mail.  When it came earlier this week i was thrilled.  I've since downloaded several patches off of this site (or linked to by this site) and I am having a blast.  I love this game, and after getting hooked 10 years ago I'm really excited to play again.  In fact, it will be even sweeter when I complete the game because I was never able to do so when I was first introduced to the game.

But enough rambling.  Like I said, I just got my copy in the mail off of Amazon Marketplace for $65US and some change.  Yeah, I know, crazy for a game 10 years old, but it's a classic and in my opinion worth every penny and then some.  But, since it's so expensive and so old, I really want to make a bunch of backups on different CDs and perhaps one DVD so, just in case I drop a CD and it scratches or my laptop's drive eats one, there will be a spare.  Does anyone know how to make a legal backup copy of the game and get it to run off those CDs?  I know you don't support downloaded games, and this isn't a downloaded copy, so I'm just wondering if people have done this yet, or if it's possible? 

And as an extension of this, is it possible to get the game reading the CDs off the HDD, like the movies?  I've read EmperorSteele's Movie Tweak guide and applied it and it did make the movies infinitely better, so I was wondering if some sort of registry edit would be able to read the CDs off the HDD. 

Here's what I've got:
1.02
NPC RP v0.6
YAMP (9999 limit, always run, newmgp)
High Res Cloud Model
New Spell Patch
Advent Avatars


And lastly I want to send out a big thank you to everyone on the forum for all their hard work which has made my journey back to FF7 all the more enjoyable.  I'm really excited about all the great stuff that has happened and is currently happening with all the FF7 mods on this forum.  Simply amazing.
