step 1 - install the aali driver
step 2 - extract this mod contents into the "mods" directory
step 3 - edit "ff8_opengl.cfg" and set this line like this:
Code: [Select]
mod_path = .
Make sure you have high resolution fonts enabled, and enjoy!

Troubleshooting / Custom graphics driver for FF7/FF8 [v.1-.7.6]
« on: 2009-10-14 08:15:52 »
I can confirm what Pikkuhippi said on previous posts:

On the first Laguna "Dream World", every small event seems to crash the game. I'll explain:
The game is OK when the Laguna scene loads, but when I try to open the menu -> crash; when a battle occurs -> crash. Walking around doesn't crash it though.

Since I'm using Wine (Linux), it printed 2 errors lines when crashing:
Quote
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7bc9d6e4 "loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0009, blocked by 0020, retrying (60 sec)
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x2e10058 "heap.c: HEAP.critSection" wait timed out in thread 0020, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)
The error seems to be related to a ntdll function call.

I just wanna to say thanks for this great little driver  :-D

Makes FF8 totally playable on Linux, with much better performance than in a crappy Win7


Thanks a lot!

(I've not yeat reached the Laguna part, I'll let you know what happens to me)

In the PSX version, I used the debug room to get them, but only zell/selphie/squall have alternate clothes.

It's too bad Rinoa can't fight with her dress...

I've just updated my save, It's a new file now and already has Edea/Seifer.
The 2nd save has Laguna & Kiros instead of Edea/Seifer.

The Rinoa's Angelo issue has been fixed (was top-priority)

Any other issue can be fixed with a code

I don't think it's possible to get Magical Lamp from Chocobo World... But how will you even emulate a pocketstation in ePSXe or other emulator? (does that even exist?)

Anyway, here's the code for Edea and Seifer:

80077C2C 0001 - seifer
80077CC4 0001 - edea

I already found the fix for the character change in world map. But Rinoa still can't use Limit Breaks...

According to http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/197343/4929 you can however i have never actually got it that way so i'm not sure it is possible.  I have gotten at least one Pet Nametag though.  I was thinking in terms of the pc version and it coming with chocobo world.


Maybe it's (remotely) possible with Angelo Search...
But these 2 ways of getting it would be too much difficult (more like impossible). You can always sell the item you want...  :wink:

Haha - I already defeated all bosses from Ultimecia's Castle

The only GFs I don't have right now are Bahamut and Tonberry.


I'm heading to the Island close to hell...  :evil:

Because of that you won't receive money like you're use to... haha  :evil:

How much time has passed since you last played FF8?
Maybe you want to play it again but... it's always the same thing... gets a little boring...

So, what could we do to make it more interesting?


I though that myself and I've been "working" for the last few days for something cool.

What if you start the game at Disc 4 instead of 1? - that's my little challenge


I've prepared a NTSC game save for PSX FF8 that has the following:
- Start at Disc 4, Edea's House
- All characters with their initial levels
- Extra Edea and Seifer enabled (or Laguna and Kiros instead, optionally)
- Same items as if you were starting a new game (I only added "Magical Lamp", since there's no way to get it on Disc 4)
- 5000Gil
- Quezacoatl/Shiva + Ifrit and Cerberus GF (you wouldn't be able to get them otherwise)
- No magic for no one
- No cards
- You are not SeeD (no salary)
- (Once you get Tonberry, you'll) Access to all Shops (needed for Rinoa/Zell limit breaks)
- GFs haven't received any AP
- Time 00:00


I used the debug room to jump over events and runned from Bosses so GFs/Chars didn't get any Exp/AP
Then I've reset the battle counters (wins/run aways/etc).

Because I jumped too much stuff this save has some "bugs" (thread title says "BETA")
- Cannot change characters in field/save mode - FIXED (Check bottom of post)
- Rinoa can't use "Angel Wing" - Easily fixed once someone finds a code for it


Use the gamesave with your favorite PS1 emulator and have fun!
Link to save - http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=b5989241f8ffb136d956df2962098fcbe04e75f6e8ebb871
(If you're using Linux I recommend using PCSX-Reloaded, which has support for codes)


Code that will fix the char change in field - 300781A9 000F
Just enable it, go to the world map, save and restart the emulator without codes. Done.

Code for fix the Laguna/Kiros resetting to Edea/Seifer:
80077C38 0009
30077C39 001F
80077BA0 0008
30077BA1 001E

To enable/disable Edea/Seifer or Laguna/Kiros:
80077C2C 0001 - seifer/laguna
80077CC4 0001 - edea/kiros
(change 0001 to 0000 to disable it)

I used a program called Omega..
it converts all the Tex. files into BMP..
then i did all my work in photoshop and paint.
then i use omega again to convert the BMP. images into a .tex file..
:D...

*(WOOT... 777 views.. that is a lucky number.. :P)*
Thanks.
Can you tell me what you plan to modify?
I also wanted to mod some files, but I don't want to work for nothing

I just tried this yesterday. Pretty awesome  :wink:

But I have one suggestion/request - can you make "Omega Extreme" LVs/Stats with "Ultima Hard" HP?
I mean, it's not by increasing enemy's HP that the game will become more difficult, just more boring... Specially at the beginning...

20'000HP bite bug it's lot of time... for 1AP!! aahhhh....  :x

I think 3x enemy's stats and 10-20x HP will be hard enough  8-)

When I first saw this I was concerned (3d-like pics in a "2D" game?)

But after playing with it, it makes totally sense. Thanks for your work, looks great!


Can I ask you how did you mod FF8 TEX files?

FF8 Tools / Re: [FFVIII] Music ALPHA

This is what I was looking for!  :evil:

I started making "looped" songs from the orchestral arrangements (maybe piano as well, in time...)

If you promise me I'll use "my" songs, I'll be soooooo happy  :-D

PCSX2 started the project right after the PS2 was released.
And it still can't play many games...

I can't go to Dollet (1st mission) before the GF draw bug is fixed...

I know I'll probably take a *lot* of time before get there (lots of game-overs  :evil:)

Do you know what is causing that bug?
I was looking forward to pass the full game on Extreme  :-)

So, it's like PS2 runs PS1 games (emulation), but PS1 cannot run PS2

I guess that's it... Dammit! I want to play Crisis Core...  :cry:

Can PSP games be 'ported' to normal PSX?

I know normal PSX games like FF7/8/9, Gran Turismo, etc, can be played on the PSP.

It should be possible to reverse the process...
