Hi

I've just replace my radeon 9600 with this card hoping I would be able to use  8bit textures. But I've turned them on using rivatuner, but the test still fails in ff7config. is this feature not supported by this card?

Archive / Radeon 8bit

« on: 2005-04-28 16:58:47 »

Hi

I've managed to get 8 bit textures working, the onlt problem is that all other 3d checks fail.

I've managed to do this with catlyst 2.5 & 3.0

The reason this occurs I think is because My 9600 isn't supported, whereas anybody with a 7000, 8500, 9000 and 9500/9700 May have some luck

If so perhaps we could figure out away extracted the 8 bit from earlier drivers.

Archive / Radeon 9200 se 8bits opengl

« on: 2004-08-28 19:02:19 »

Ok Just by mistake I've managed to find away of running a radeon with 8bit textures and in opengl. First of all you need:

an old Graphics (nvidia or any which supports 8bit textures, you only need this temp)
a radeon card

1.Put the nvidia card in the machine, run ff7 config enable 8bit textures.
2.Put a radeon card in, intall drivers etc. Do not re-run FFconfig!
3. run regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\1.00\Graphics
And use value 2 for Driver
