Hi all. I'm having some serious problems with FF7Music and I don't see too many people with the same problem. I installed using the original PC CDs and then applied the Remix 2.4 patch.
I really like a lot of what was changed, but I wanted to stick with the original PSX music.
I set FF7Music to play these mp3s, and they are playing perfectly, so its not a problem with either the mp3 plugin or directories having spaces or anything like that.
The strange thing is, no matter what I do, the original midi files that came with the game still play.
They play even after I completely delete midi.lgp from the data folder! And I even tried using Nero's enhanced midi.lgp which mutes the midi internally. THE MIDIS STILL PLAY!
So now every time I play, I hear both the mp3s I wanted to play, as well as the midi that came with the PC version.
I am using Windows 7 x64, and there are no operating system level midi volume control or enable/disable options, but I have FF7Music set to Mute Midi if playing a replacement file, which it clearly is.
What in tartar sauce is going on?
Edit: Problem Solved. For all of you who got FF7Music working but can't get midi to silence (without using the in-game music volume controls which also mutes the SFX for some reason):
1) Run regedit.exe
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\1.00\Midi
3) Change MusicVolume to 0.
You will find that after this, going into the game and turning up the music volume will give you your SFX while still keeping the music muted!
Thanks anyways, guys! ^^
