When installing using bootleg, I left MSE on. This message came up.

I'm assuming this is the relevant mod thread - sorry if this isn't the right place. Is this an issue I need to be worried about?

As long as you downloaded it from the links provided here, you have nothing to worry about

Perhaps somone can help me...my copy of FF7 comes tomorrow and I wanted too have all my mods ready by that time. The only thing currently in red is the FFVII Remix install. Do I really need this? It clearly states it is out dated but since it says too download everything red...should I really download it?

I believe FFVII Remix is outdated as a standalone mod, but other mods have developed that work off of it. Thus, it's needed to be installed for those others to work. I'm still newbie though, so I could be wrong

C:\Games\Final Fantasy VII is a common path used to install.

Is there a mirror for bootleg0038.zip? It can't be downloaded from google docs currently

Should be working now. I just downloaded it again.

Ok, I checked "Retranslation" in menu overhaul along with "canon names" and "american spelling", and I also checked "FMV's retranslated".

NOTHING in the game seems to be retranslated. It's exactly the same as the PS version.

Did you File --> Mod List and actually download the mods to be installed?

I could not use the Bootleg all the mods are in green and yellow but not yet installed it could be?

Did you click the red button labeled "Run Bootleg"?

I still can't run bootleg... access denied...

Do you know when does the next version of Bootleg is planned ?

Very soon. Sometime this month I assume. Sorry you haven't gotten it working yet

It depends on your system. My old one took 15-20mins, but my new one now takes only a few minutes.

Here you go :
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/v4flsct8a33onpi/Bootleg%20Config.png

Oh and my OS is Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate.

1. Don't go with "Mode Switching - All Mods". There is a bug associated with it that will be fixed in the next release (0039). For right now, choose either "Norma Vanilla" or "Gjoerulv's Hardcore Mode" and wait until 0039 release to go back to Mode Switching.

2. Under the Textures tab, uncheck "Battle Scenes as LGP". You only need the PNG option checked.

3. Under the Avatars tab, make sure "Avatar Preset" on the right-hand side is set to "Custom" or else it won't install properly. Another bug that will be fixed in the 0039 release.

4. I believe "Aeris Revival" has slight issues when Menu Overhaul is also installed. Just be aware of that for Discs 2 + 3 when she is around.

5. Is your new mod folder actually named "Bootleg0038" and is it actually at location "C:\Jeux\FF7\Bootleg0038" with all the proper mods downloaded? I just want to make sure you didn't simply copy my image link location without knowing what it means to do so.

Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Bootleg Configurator and FF7 Mod Installation

I'm one of those lead here by Kotaku. I've been messing with bootlegger for a couple days now, and I have most of it figured out, but there's one or two things I was hoping for clarification on.

The main one is the various game soundtracks. When I'm configuring with the Bootlegger Front End, is the soundtrack I choose there going to be the one I hear when I play? Or will it be the soundtrack I select outside of Bootlegger with the FF7Music config? I've tried various methods, but to this point I've only heard one soundtrack so far, so I'm not sure which it is. I'm lead to understand that the PSF MIDI option sounds similar to the original PS1 soundtrack though, and the one I've heard isn't that.

What in you guys' opinion is the best soundtrack, for that matter?

Second question is about Bootlegger's presets. I was just curious what the difference between Full and Hardcore was from the author's perspective. When you were choosing the presets, did you consider one to be better from a visual quality perspective than the other? Full for example for FMV cutscenes defaults to Bootleg+Rumbah while Hardcore defaults to Bootleg+Grimmy. I've looked at the mod list a little bit, and I generally prefer the sharp versions to the smooth, but since there aren't exactly side-by-side comparisons, is one newer/better than the other?

1. You can select your music after the Bootleg install by opening FF7Music and clicking the "Configure" button. The second tab "Files" has a drop-down menu for whatever music Profile you want to play with. Annoyingly obvious question, but have to ask anyways....are you clicking "Save and Exit" after you choose your music? Also, have you tried every music option but you've only heard one of them so far?

My opinion? I like to stick with either PSF or OSTRemastered. The .mp3 options don't transition well enough between scenes for my liking.


2. I'm not the author, but I choose Bootleg + Rumbah. The smooth and sharp options are also made by Rumbah, and I believe they were both made at the same time. Rumbah fits my likings the best. Just my opinion though

How to enable FF7Music:

- Open FF7Music.exe from the installation folder.

- Click on Configure.

- Go to the Files tab.

- Under Profile, select the music you chose from Bootleg.

- Save and Exit.

Those are common errors that do not effect the gameplay. I have played through the entire game with those, and it went just fine.

@e1sunz - Yeah, I hope it brings a good bunch.

People are already asking questions about the install. Mostly error questions, but I'm helping out the best I can while sending them here for anything I'm not sure about.

So, my playthough has been featured in an article on Kotaku: http://kotaku.com/5910318/you-want-your-final-fantasy-vii-hd-remaster-well-here-it-is

I just wanted to share this because my views have started to rise greatly over the past 4 hours when it was posted, which means we could see a surge of traffic coming through here for a bit.

Trish(aka Mike)'s custom model pack.7z

That is the spelling that works for me.

500MB is a drop in the bucket for me. It could be different for others, but I don't mind having the options if they work properly. FF7 Awesome is a little distasteful for me as well, but then again it's a video game, so I don't take it as seriously as real life. I watched some of the videos on YT that showcase it, and I did laugh at some parts.

Further update. Running in compatibility mode for Windows 98 the Bootloader won't even start. Safe mode on the config file, plus all the other options checked under compatibility mode don't help (Run in 256 colours etc.) I have tried an old save game I had from another install and starting from a different place it all still works beautifully up until the first battle, then crashes. None of the other options in the bootloader regarding battle graphics seem to help.
There is also a crashdump file, not sure how to attach it here.

I am considering re-installing & re-Bootlegging, this time leaving out the Battle scene enhancement LGP and both Magochocobo LGP files to see if that works better. Anyone have other ideas?

I would suggest doing a clean install and under Bootleg options, only check Battle Scenes as PNG. Leave Battle Scenese as LGP unchecked. I've only played the opening bombing and a saved game around Wutai, but all is good for me so far.

I did a completely fresh install and noticed a few bugs with 0038.

1. Timu+Kleyon+Asmodean Barret only does melee attack animations, even with a long ranged weapon equipped. It was kind of funny at first since he did a melee attack with a long ranged weapon, and the sound effect played was of a long ranged firing. I just uninstalled it and used a different Barret for now.

2. The Bootleg Avatar Preset will install one of the AC Round versions, minus Barret. He installs as the Bootleg version. I don't know which AC Round version the others are from. I went ahead and manually installed the Darkfang's Avatars from the Big Mod List, so it wasn't a huge problem for me.

3. Not really a bug, but I noticed Slayernext's Aeris Weapon models are not included anymore. Unfortunately, I've done all I can to try and manually install the AerisWeaponModv0.5-slayersnext.rar from the Big Mod List with the directions from his thread, but the game keeps crashing during battle. His thread has broken links, so I think I'm stuck. I just wanted to mention this because it was embedded within the 0037 install.

I was able to get the Aeris weapons to install. The only thing I did differently was install Trish(aka Mike)'s custom model pack with the apostrophe version instead of the underscore version (Trish(aka Mike)_s custom model pack).
