Title: What programs are there for FFVII so far?
Post by: Realm RPGer on 2001-04-12 01:56:00

I'm quite new to discovering all this cool little FF hacking/extracting stuff. I'd like to know what all programs are currently available for FFVII (especially the psx version), and links to the programs if possible. Thanks.

Well, there are few programs for the PSX version simply because most PC programmers have the PC version (though I guess we could all get the PSX version too), but, more importantly, if we edit a file in the PC version we just save it onto our hard drive. If we want to edit a PSX file we ... uhh ... can't. Unless you burn a new CD ... and doing that every time you tested out a change would be very slow and expensive...

I think you can get a save game editor for FF7 PSX but I don't have a link handy. (Qhimm's Jenova can't edit PSX files ... can it?)

(Warning: next section contains extreme plugs for my own programs).

On the PC side of things:

Qhimm (you must have checked his site out to be here!) has
-a PC save game editor,
-an LGP extractor (extract files from the game archives)
-an audio player (play sound effects)
-and a background viewer (view the background graphics for field locations).

I (http://www.legacy-ovwp.org/~ficedula/index.html) have:
-an LGP extractor and editor (change the files too)
-a music patch (replace the midis in the game with any other format, eg. mp3's)
-a game editor (Cosmo), edit text, audio, and hopefully backgrounds soon

My game editors are based mostly off Qhimm's code so he's the real master here  :)
