[REL] FF7 AnyCD
Armorvil:
It's true that I forgot to set ff7.exe to windows 98 compatibility mode after my reinstallation of the game, but I did it before, and the processus still didn't end...
Anyways, I don't know how either, but I'm glad Kranmer fixed this problem of mine :)

if you're on xp, you DON'T want compatibility mode, that is what causes this problem.
edit: kranmer, why is this a patch? Since ff7 1.02 exe is already freely distributed, I don't think you have to worry about distributing a prepatched copy of it.

:o ...I understood it backwards -__- When I got that "info" a while back, I checked FF7.exe's compatibility mode and thought : "nah, I don't have anything to do, oddly enough, it's already set on the right compatibility mode"... ...and I had no idea this problem was caused by a bad compatibility setting (I thought everyone had it). Well, better late than never ! Thanks for clearing that up, Covarr :)

Well Covarr the reason i don't distribute the full EXE is because anyone would be able to compare my modified one with the original EXE and see exactly how i did it (with any other mod this is not a problem but for this mod its a huge problem). If just anyone could see what values i have patched they could very easily just adapt it to a NoCd (even a idiot could with just a hex editor change 1 byte to make this a full NoCd) that would work with Aali's Driver, So i tried to make it a little harder with this (it wont stop anyone who is serious but it will stop idiots).
Anyway i am sorry if this is to your disliking but that is the reason for this (also its a Loader and NOT a patch, a patch modifies the file, a loader changes the file while its running, which is usefull since if a patch is used on a EXE there is always a chance it could ruin it since not everybody is using a clean EXE)

Nah, it's not to my disliking at all, I was just wondering. Also, I know the difference, I just hadn't actually gotten a chance to test it yet when I asked, and your first post is kinda vague, so I'd just kind of assumed it was a patcher.
Still, this is a fantastic app you've made here! :D
