Hi BAN___KAI

Search on this page for a driver. I think Catalyst 10.2 is right for you, otherwise try Catalyst 9.3

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

Maybe the sound driver has been installed incorrectly. Download the driver from the manufacturer of the sound chip and install it again manually.

"Eyes on Me" is stored as a normal audio track on the CD with CD-quality and thus has nothing to do with MIDI.
 This is also the reason why I did it as MDS.

Edit:
Also with Daemon Tools Lite plays the song correctly.
Surprisingly, with the original CD will not play the song, if you have a SATA DVD drive .
(Supposed to find out that I had to dust my originals... )

I think the keys you are Posted are not up to date.

Start the command prompt :  Windows-Key + R

Execute this command (I guess you have Windows Vista home basic 32bit):

Code: [Select]

regedit.exe /e C:\FF7.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc."
Post the new FF7.txt (look into C:).

Make sure the key "MoviePath" is pointing exactly to the folder, where the movies are.

Hi Tiduca

I've two links (no warranty)

Would not it be better to examine why driver 0.7.11b not going so well?

Hi Aali

I am sure that life here in the forum is a bit simpler if you could add a link in your last post to UGerstls folder. You can write to the fact that you make no warranty.
I am also sure that everyone here would help you, if at all possible and with whatever.

I have a request. Can it be you (or someone else) possible to develop a post-processing shader replace the linear_filter, but with the exception, not incorporate the transparent pixels in the calculation?
That might solve the problem that was described by tbogard.

Hi nate

I once had a crash. Luckily I had saved quite a short time before. In the second experiment, there were almost at the same point again a crash.
I thought it was because of Aalis driver, so I got him off, in which I have renamed eax.dll inside the game folder. But then I also had a crash in the same place.
So I think that it is not Aalis driver who caused the crash. After restarting the PC, the error was gone.

Hi DARKWORLD

Unfortunately I do not know what "PBO" means. I think this is only for newer video cards.
Also unfortunately I do not remember how I got my FX 5600 to work.

May help the "K-Lite Mega Codec Pack". This repairs some broken codecs and also provides new codecs.
I know Aali's driver has its own plug-in for videos, but maybe it will help anyway.

Did you also install the chipset drivers?
If I remember correctly they also had to install a driver for the AGP interface.

Troubleshooting / Re: Please Insert Game Disc error with Final Fantasy VII

• My discs are called FF7DISC1.iso, FF7DISC2.iso and FF7DISC3.iso

I think he wanted the names inside of the Cd's, but i also think they are alright.

• I've tried setting all of the .exe's to Windows 98 compatibility and ensured Run as Admin was checked.  I also tried the different compatibility modes with no luck.

I don't use something like this, FF7 works fine for me without.

I have turned off UAC through all of this, with no luck.

Same as above.

• Run the game, it runs but with no movies.  I'm guessing this is correct as i did not install the directshow driver.  Should this be installed?

Don't use the directshow driver from install-CD. instead you can download the TrueMotion 2.0 from here and install that.
Then you should be able to view the videos with a media player (and also view in game).


I'm not use Bootleg, but I've not read something about Patch 1.02. Is this patch included?

Hi SuperBeast

Your registry seems to be proper, except that I did not have a key "SSI_DEBUG" with me.
Have you installed Service Pack 1?

Otherwise, your virtual CD software seems to be faulty. Just try with another.

Hi DARKWORLD,

The problem seems to be the graphics card driver.
Which Windows do you use?
If you're using Windows 7, you can use maybe even drivers for Vista.

ForceWare Release 95 for Windows Vista 32-bit
ForceWare Release 95 for Windows Vista 64-bit RTM

Are you able to deactivate the Intel graphics via BIOS option?
Or can you "ff7_opengl.fgd" activate to use the High Performance graphics processor?

I use an AMD Radeon HD 6470M

Which graphics card is now used?

For Intel chips Aali's framelimiter did not work, use YAMP instead.
For AMD framelimiter already work, the "GLITCH: Vsync seems to be forced ON, minigame framelimiter will not work." is a false message.

Too many errors in your graphics chip.
Maybe a new installation of all Drivers can help.
Maybe an Update of your Windows (inclusive Service Packs) can help.
If that does not help, you can not use Aali's Driver, I think.

You should also give more VRAM to your graphics chip (BIOS?).

Troubleshooting / Re: Sound Problem

« on: 2012-03-09 05:34:37 »

edit: Actually, I don't see why I don't add a MIDI plugin to my installer, for folks who really wanna fix those silent sound effects on vista/7 but don't wanna fix Eidos' dumbass decision to use MIDI. Next version, I suppose.

I have tested some in_xyz.dll's , also some for MIDI files. No one worked on my PC. If you find one, please send me a link.

Thank you.

Edit: The Option "Maximise midi on song not found" does not seem to work for me

Hi PhoenixDown,

This didn't bother me because i wanted to get used to things via manually adding mods and aali's lgp/unlgp tools are great and i totally understand the way they work its simple really

There is a new Tool out, look here.
