This is a BETA release - use it only if you're brave enough.It's a patch which adds a Frame-Limiter to Highway/Snowboard MiniGame and fixes a bug with Snowboard MiniGame crashing occasionally.
Confirmed to work with:
- Version 1.00 ENG PC original ff7.exe
- Version 1.02 ENG PC original ff7.exe
It has been written to be as flexible as possible. Apply it
AFTER any other patches (Chocobo/HighRes/Music...).
Usage (
important - read it):
- copy the patcher to your main ff7 folder
- make sure, that file ff7.exe exists in that folder
- run patch (if all went fine, file "patched_ff7.exe" should appear in that folder)
- copy your "old" ff7.exe into some safe place
- rename the newly created file to "ff7.exe"
- try and run the game
If something went wrong while patching, error message should appear... It's usually self-explanatory (like: Patch failed
).
Patch itself is a command-line tool. There are few switches which could be used when running it:
-debug [0/1]
-errors [0/1]
-in [input_file_name]
-out [output_file_name]
-hijack [Hex digit]
Example:
-debug 1 -errors 0 -in old_ff7.exe -out ff7.exe -hijack A
Explanation:
- Debug mode will be turned on (default off) displaying info when patching executable.
- ErrorDisplaying mode will be turned off (default on) no error messages would appear.
- File to patch: old_ff7.exe (default ff7.exe)
- Output file: ff7.exe (default patched_ff7.exe)
- Variables to hijack: 0x0A (default 9)
What is a "-hijack" switch? The patch uses three variables, which must be static-ones. It will search for the variables to use and "hijack" them. More info soon (I hope...).
