Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Tifa's Bootleg

Wow, I'm not sure why, but your profile fixed my problem exactly. I tried making one myself and it didn't resolve my issue, comparing the two I see no differences in how they were configured. I'll chalk it up to a new user experience.

My final conflict I'm having now is that my game is showing a black bar approx 1" thick on the bottom end of the screen, the resolution is a match to my monitor at 1920x1080, and it's only occurring on the field. Menus and battles do not have this issue.

I checked the FAQ page and did not see this issue, anyone have a tip for me? Loving it now so far, thanks once again for all the hard work that went into this!

Apologies to those who are helping me for the awkward time gaps between my posts, RL is a real pain sometimes.

I've searched the forums and can't seem to see anything relating to mini games having excessive frame rates? eg. The coaster game is running at 202-206 fps as did the first motorcycle game after exiting Shinra HQ. I see no options to limit the frame rate of the mini games anywhere, can anyone help me with that? My bar at the bottom was there because I was using the preserve aspect ratio button option, a little bit of playing around resolved that for me.

Here use this: http://www.mediafire.com/view/muit00xtpc8qtuq/Final_Fantasy_VII.pin It's my game profile, I made it to match the psx controls exactly. I'm not sure of compatibility as far as Logitech rumble pads vs 360 windows controllers but it may work for anyone who wants to try it. I used the D input setting for older games (logitech cordless rumble pad firmware) so I could use L2 and R2 since for some reason it used the joystick buttons instead on X input, which uses the 360 firmware. It'll word either way though.

I'm not sure what you mean about choosing from which controller it uses. The system will pick which is dominant, probably by which usb port they use. If it's still a problem just unplug one.

I couldn't get it to work just with the pinnacle profiler, so I downloaded a premade profile from their website. All seems to be working well aside from the fact it won't allow me to change which of my 2 controllers is to be controlling the game. Thanks!

Upon boot, I'm still having the multiple selection problem. eg. I will press X once and it will press multiple times.

I can't seem to resolve this issue. Even with the pinnacle controller mapping I'm unable to use my gamepad properly. I suppose I could just suffer and use the keyboard, but I want that retro feel I got from playing on the PSX.

Logitechs are great controllers, but the firmware sucks. I have a F710, and installed the xbox 360 firmware. Install this: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows then just add the firmware to the controller in device manager. Mine also has X and D inputs. I use D with Pinnacle and map the controls to match the old ps1.

Okay! So I got it all modded up properly now, after doing the reinstallation process etc., I'm now finding I'm having issues with my gamepad. It's registering all buttons multiple times instead of a single entry, when trying to configure the "Joystick" options in the config menu for example, by confirming with what would normally be circle, it would enter the key twice and automatically switch it around as opposed to waiting for what key I would like to change it to.

I'm using a Logitech F310, for the sake of reference. If I can get this last little kink sorted out I'll be a very happy camper, as I'm loving all of the updated bootlegged graphics, thanks for putting all the hard work into making this for shlubs like myself who want the updated graphics but don't know how to do it on our own!

So what is recommended if I was a dumbass and missed step 5 due to distractions while doing the installation procedure? Is it possible to run bootleg over top of itself or is it still recommended to do a fresh install?
