[FF7PC-98] FF7 AnyCD (2011-01-04)

Kranmer:
Hi Guys, i have made this to allow people to use any of their 3 FF7 gameplay Cd's to play the game without it asking to change CD (also i was given permission by sl1982 before posting this mod but if any other moderator or admin does have a problem with this mod they may delete it)
This is for the PC English 1.02 version of the game and probably wont work on other versions (although i can probably make one for other versions if need be).

To use just unzip the file above and put it into your FF7 folder, after doing that run it and it should remove the need for changing CD's (i have only tested saves, i haven't tried at the end of a CD yet so if someone could test that for me it would really help)

NOTE:- you will still need 1 of the 3 game CD's in the drive to run the game (The game still checks the CD on bootup) so i want to make this clear this is NOT A NOCD SINCE YOU STILL NEED THE GAME DISCS TO PLAY
NOTE2:- this loads FF7.exe so if you have renamed your EXE this will still try to load FF7.exe.
Also any feedback is welcome


EDIT1:- Ok here is the DLL version for anyone who dislikes the loader

Extract the DLL to your FF7 folder.
then edit the FF7_opengl.cfg and add the line
load_library = FF7anyCD.dll
Then run the game with any FF7 CD in the drive and hey presto your done.

Also i scanned this with virustotal.com and it came back with 1 virus scanner out of 42 saying this was a virus THIS IS A FALSE POSATIVE, i made this myself and i assure you its not a virus, here is the report from virustotal

Also if you use AntiVir Armorvil has explained how to stop AntiVir from detecting this as a virus

Tried loading a Save from Disc 1 with Disc 2 inserted, works like a charm. Thanks for this, very useful app.

I can't test the disc changing locations as I don't have saves on those parts, unfortunately.

By the way, kranmer, you can manually delete your messages in Aali's topic. They don't need to be moved here.

Much better. Thank you! ;)
This is very handy, actually. I hate trying to load games and being told I've got the wrong disc in. I don't want to fish them all out again just to continue an old game. :(

I suppose this could also be used to make it a DVD-based game then, correct? Label the DVD "FF7DISC1" or something and copy all the unique files from each of the discs to their appropriate spots and hilarity ensues?

Covarr:
I will be downloading this as soon as my desktop PC is hooked up again (ain't no downloading on a netbook with no HDD :/). This is exactly what I (and I assume tons of other people) have wanted for quite some time. Combined with the only completely legal nocd solution that I know of, Game Jackal Pro, as well as an exe very similar but not identical to yarLson's (none of the drive renaming, just the launching), I can have this baby running from Steam as transparently and smoothly as if I'd bought it there!

kranmer, you are a hero.

yarLson:
Hey this is exactly what I wanted original but I don't really have any programming skills. Thank you sir :D
