Aali's Custom FF7/FF8 Driver / Re: Aali's driver [v 0.7.11b] Help/Bugs/Suggestions

That fixed it but now everything is horrendously pixelated. Is there any form of smoothing that can be used on textures if this option has to be turned off?

EDIT: Additionally I'm getting garbage on scenes that I go back to, i.e. if I'm in the sewer and I go from one screen to the next then back again. This was mentioned once in this thread that I can see but I checked a few pages after and no mention of a workaround or fix.

I couldn't open FF7Config.exe because it says FF7 isn't installed (which is fair enough as it isn't). I reinstalled FF8 and Aali's driver and the problem fixed itself so not sure what was wrong/missing.

The last issue I'm having now which I've seen mentioned several times but no fix ever listed, is the black outlines on backgrounds in battle. Disabling fancy_transparency, anti-aliasing or anistrophic filtering don't help. Is this an unfixable bug or is there something else that can be changed to fix it?

Ok, so on my Windows 7 machine FF8 works fine, as does the Launcher that lets you specify extra resolutions (the one that intercepts DX calls) but I can't get Aali's driver to work.
I've installed it but when I start the game the screen simply remains black, I tried Windowed mode as well but no change.

Code: [Select]

It seems to get stuck at the sound section but I didn't know Aali's driver did anything different audio wise?

Any ideas?
