Title: How do I get the PSX sound effects To my PC version of FFVII
Post by: BrokenCrowe (Mendelevium) on 2009-05-31 22:10:38

Okay..... well i have played the PSX version through about 10 times....... and i decided to play the PC version so I could mod it...

And one thing is really bugging me......... They ported it really badly.

So, I want to know is it possible to convert the sound effects from the PSX version to be PC
(For example, in the PSX version, just before you fight Air Buster, you hear president Shinra snap... in the PC version you hear no snapping....... there a lot of such cases through out the game.)

If it is possible could someone please explain to me, how do I do this??

Thank you,
Broken Crow

I don't believe there are any "sound effect ports"...
but there's certainly a Midi -> MiniPSF Music replacement which makes it a bit more like the PSX version. :-)

The sounds aren't actually waveform, they're done in a synthy way, afaik.

The music in the remastered OST doesn't really sound at all like the PSX version, it sounds much more realistic. I prefer it, but it loops oddly, and certainly if I were attempting to emulate the PSX version I would not use it.

Also, slightly off-topic, it's not really called OstRE, that's just the shortened title I used in my FF7Music ini file and tutorial.

Umm........ 'No' for .mp3 or .ogg, currently.(Unless some plugin can detect certain custom tags for loop point)  If you can get decent module sound file(such as .mod, .it, .s3m, or .xm) and WinAMP plugin for that, you may listen properly looping BGM....

Unfortunately, you can't fix the looping. There might be some empty space at the end of the MP3, and you could cut it short to make it loop more cleanly than it does, but there's not much else you can do. PSFs don't have this problem.

Is there any way of removing the "select option" sound (such as when you choose what to say or battle options) as it is overclipped and down right annoying anyway.
