Title: Just a thank you!
Post by: vaccine.exe on 2011-09-05 11:09:40

Hello

(Total mod newb)

I spent the better part of a day getting this game to work.... I made several cock ups of it so had to do a bunch of fresh installs before I finally got it right. This site and its contributors were a great help so thank you everyone!  :-)

Is there a complete A-B guide for install at present for beginners? I could write a lil sumthin sumthin if there isnt. There are alot of gaps or the info is spread over to many posts so you end up doing alot of searching or guessing.... hence my many cock ups.

Anyways thanks heaps again for all the help these forums gave and thanks for all the great work from the modders excellent job guys!!

Hi vaccine.exe,

if you want all the goodies in one perfect installer, then you should read this topic:

Ok so maybe my process of modding was on the simple side lol. Is this series of mods the way to go? All I installed was FF7 > 1.02 > YAMP > Aali's > PRP > Avalanche > 24bit Menu pics.

If you want the best with a "simple" but perfect installer => use Bootleg.

• Download all files listed in Bootleg_Mods.htm (included in Bootleg0001B3.zip).
  
  
• Install the english version of Final Fantasy 7 and choose  the Maximum installation.
  
  
• Run BFE.exe (GUI for Bootleg) and select what you like.
  
  
• Hit the big red "Run Bootleg" button. (Hint: minimize the GUI to the taskbar)
  
  
• Now the real installer is running.
  Sometimes you will be asked about special adjustment's, so be prepared and don't go away.
  
  
• At the end, you have a perfect installation.
  

Happy testing... :)

Edit 1:   Very important: Run the Bootleg as Administrator !

Copied from PitBrat (because i have a german windows version):

   Set Bootleg.exe to run as administrator.
   Right click on Bootleg.exe, choose Properties, go to the Compatibility tab and
   check "Run this program as an administrator".

The same procedure should be done for BFE.exe .

Edit 2:   Before starting the installation, turn UAC off.

Better than the original of course !

Seriously, why don't you test it by yourself ?

In my opinion, if you have done what i have written, you will discover a new world.
The artists of this forum worked hard and persistent to reach this.
And the work goes on...
