I just unpacked several fields (they were compressed with some 4ZL_ that no internet has heard of)- they ruined whole structure. If you wanted to edit the text, then you can't now. Thank you whoever ruined the FS structure*

*they can still be updated manually though, but I doubt anyone would need that

Is it possible that Dotemu screw up the file structure so that we can't mess with it?

They DID. Introduced zzz, new FS compression and partially reorganized field archives (multi JSM, multi text sections, some fields have broken/badly edited FL and FI sections- complete misunderstanding) rendering Deling useless. We broke zzz, we broke new compression (sorta) but that's all. More and more people are leaving this pile of poo

Do you guys want to hear a funny story?

Remember the whole "Siren" debacle?

Well, look at this: https://youtu.be/u6tfyhAmrFg?t=1590

They forgot to redesign her Triple Triad Card. LOL. It's still based on the TCG counterpart like the other cards in the Remastered: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71X5FHhgtwL._SY450_.jpg

that is honestly hilarious, they even messed that up with their hack/bone idleness.

Hey Maki, look at this:
https://github.com/FFT-Hackers/FF7_OpenGL/blob/8df3a2f16d8269b4dca064b67235c1ac1760f2c0/src/ff8_opengl.c

Idk how far you have advanced in research. Perhaps these guys have decided more about rendering.

I tried IDA, IDA+scyllaHyde, OllyDgb and CE debugger- I'm getting 0x400000f1 (STATUS_WX86_BREAKPOINT) on all threads and the game is immidiately killed. Happens only for core game code
I can confirm that this happens for data breakpoints as well. Patching IsDebuggerPresent / CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent / ExitProcess / TerminateProcess / GetThreadContext etc. seems to yield no hits. Furthermore the game refuses to start without Steam and dies if it is killed, however suspending all Steam processes appears to not matter so it doesn't seem dependent on any realtime communication.

Please don't leave.
We need those new re-modeled characters. Even after we HD all those character skin in the old ver. it still looks like crap.

It would be great if there's a way to have high res fields and those insane new models in one package.
Please don't be discouraged!

I missed this. Blizzard lost the Starcraft souce code, but it was recovered shortly before/after the annoucement of Starcraft Remastered. It was literally in the news back in 2017.
They have debug symbols.

EDIT: about the FH concert music, at least Irish Jig WORKS during the Shumi Village sidequest, but it's not the PS1 version, nor the old MIDI one: https://youtu.be/bzE_xt03mpI?t=1768

I played the game so many time I never knew about this side quest or the music

Saw a video in YouTube during Squall and Rinoa on the ragnarok, they change the Eyes on me song into an instrumental version. Can someone clarify this?

If this is true then this is really a worst version of FF8.

Who knows right? Maybe JP ver have the full audio and ENG have that instrument only.
But yeah, if the song is still there then its OK, but not great.

is there anyone here that know what hexadecimal digits change in the exe in order to permanently active the effect of the item "hero" ? or also that can implement something that do the same thing by modifying the kernel.bin file trough doomtrain? (that basically would also imply to update the program itself)
