Halkun's UltraSticky Post!!!

[halkun]

It has come to pass that Obesebear needs for me to clean up the stickies. In his defense, they have gotten pretty unwieldy so What I'm going to do is create this here UltraSticky just to consolidate everything. Because it's going to be largely informational. It will also be locked. Pester me for updates if you have them

Here here it is...

Halkun's UltraSticky Post!!!

Here is everything you should need to get started in Game Tweaking...

1) Getting FF7 to run on new systems
Most of the FF7 PC patches for tweaking the game on the Wiki here: Wiki Page

2) Getting FF8 to run on new systems
This thread can now be found here

3) Covarr's New FF7Music Tutorial
This is popular, so the relevant thread is here

4) FF7 File Reconstruction Project
This is one of my projects. You can find the discussion here

5) Hosting for all mods/pictures
This needs to die as the info is very obsolete. I'll post here what is relevant from Dzin

I searched thoroughly for FFVIII mods, but not for FFVII', I'm uploading some and searching for some more.
If an author asks for it, I can remove his link from this folder, but will keep hosting it anyway if I need it.
Send me an MP if you'd like your thread linked here.

PM Halkun if this needs to be updated

This needs updating!!       In all seriousness, is there any reason to maintain a thread like this considering all releases (important or not) now have their own individual boards?
