Okay... I've got FF8 working in quarter screen mode, software rendering, etc... but I feel it isn't good enough and I would enjoy the game so much more if I could get 8-bit pallete textures working.
I've downloaded the launcher.. etc etc, I have installed the nvidia 1.2 patch and i've also tried to use the 1.2 patch (the normal one) to see if there are any differences, but I haven't seen anything yet.
My graphics card is a GeForce 6100 or 6150...
The problem is: Even though I've copied the launcher files into my FF8 main directory, the problem is, the only "fflauncher.exe" file is a "manifest" file - which doesn't even do anything when I double click it or when I drag it onto my FF8.exe. But after reading this forum as well as reading the included text files included in the download, I'm under the impression I should be able to open the FF8.exe file that is included and I should actually be able to select an "8-bit pallete textures" option. The "FF8 config" file that comes with the PC game originally does not allow me to "pass" 8 bit pallet textures or even "-".
Could the problem in fact be that I also have a "FF8 configurator" in my main ff8 director, could this have something to do with it?
Or do I need to get a program to be able to open the manifest file??
Sorry when it comes to this stuff I'm pretty nooby.
