Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Tifa's Bootleg

Please use Aali's FF7config also for sound and MIDI.
Then please post your two key sets in here.
Me (and perhaps some others) would be interested in the differences.

Good luck, I'm going to bed

Got through the train cut scene after blowing up the first reactor, so it looks like everything is working well for me.
I copied the values from the keys in the "other" location, so I believe they should match.
Also, disabled the run in 256 colors and in 640x480 options from the FF7.exe.

Thanks again for the help.

Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Tifa's Bootleg

« on: 2012-12-24 03:56:41 »

I haven't reformatted in a while

Lets see what happens ...

After a few more tweaks, I think it's all working now. Adding the second set off config files and putting the condor.lpg file back in its rightful place have done something. I can now launch exe without an immediate crash.

I was still having issues with the window/full screen thing, but I disabled a few of the compatibility options from the FF7.exe and changed resolution once the game started.

I suppose I'll be back shortly with an update.

Thanks for all the help.

I suspect that Kranmers new to old patch gives the second set of keys no observance.
It may be that some reason is not working properly.

How brave are you?
Do you dare to add my set HKEY_CURRENT_USER with you and to test if Aali's FF7Config.exe will work now?

Have you searched the whole registry?
There are two key sets...at least in the 1998 release

I don't have a second set of keys. I dumped the registry to a txt file to look.

That was it I wanted to know.

Did you then use regedit, as I've written 3 posts before?

Hadn't, but that didn't resolve the problem either. Interesting to note though, I'm running 64 bit windows 7 and the files were found in the Local_machine registry directory.

Can you use the original FF7config.exe?

Config runs. When I try to launch the game using the 1.02 config.exe the game crashes with the following app.log entry.
For the record, I can run the game with the base 2012 install.

jansente,
Are you running some type of virus/malware software?
Something blocked the new sound effects patch and resulted in those missing files.
If you can't disable the protection software or add an exception for the Bootleg files, then try installing without the new sound effects.

Scitu,
Are you using the Chrome browser?
Close everything before opening FF7Config.exe.

Well ...
It looks like I didn't execute the converter properly. I re-installed everything from the beginning and there was a large section of the sound plugin install that had been missed initially (error popped up and I assumed it was part of the "ignore error reports" section). Sadly, this still hasn't resolved my problem ...

Anti-virus, firewall were disabled with no affect.

any other suggestions?

Are you using Windows 8?  There are still some issues when installing with Windows 8.

Also make sure that the file .\data\field\flevel.lgp is present.
Sometimes when running the new to old conversion multiple times deletes this file.

Not sure which of the two of us you're replying to, but this file exists for me. Running Windows 7.
