Troubleshooting / FF8Configurator on Windows98
« on: 2024-12-30 04:46:29 »
So, long shot that anyone is still around from the dark ages and will know how to fix this, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. I'm trying to play FF8 on my vintage pc (running windows98). I want to use FF8Configurator v 2.0 because it lets me change the music device to use MIDI music like FF7 does (I've got a Roland Sound Canvas so I want to use that). But, when using FF8Configurator I can't change my video device to use my Voodoo2 card. The ATI Radeon in this PC doesn't support 8-bit Paletted Textures (I'm sure there's a patch, but I want to use the Voodoo 2 anyway since the performance with the Radeon is abysmal).
Using the stock config tool I can select the Voodoo without issue, and it works well. But, selecting the Voodoo in the graphics tab of FF8Configurator doesn't seem to save to the config.ini. When I launch either the game or the config tool again it has reset to "Primary Display Driver" (aka the Radeon).
So, long story short, does anyone know a way to either: a) make the ff8configurator actually use my Voodoo card or b) another way to use MIDI music with the stock config tool.
Thanks!
