Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Bootleg Configurator and FF7 Mod Installation

« on: 2013-01-03 15:15:57 »

@Kompass63: Yea I can go into the movie files and divx player opens em up and plays em fine. Every tutorial I've read on bootleg has told me to configure/start FF7 through the "bootloader" but none of them tell me what that is (I'm not technologically illiterate, I've just never heard the term before outside of starting a PC). I also assumed the start screen with the "New Game" and "Continue" options would have been different, so I'm hesitant to think FF7 is using the mods.

Other oddities I've encountered: When using FF7config, there is no custom driver to choose under rendere for Aali's openGL. I've also seen references to starting the game through FF7 music, but that folder doesn't even exist for me.

Update: So after getting incredibly frustrated with not making any progress despite my best efforts, I decided to say F**K IT and just play the regular PC version. Well, I ran into the same problems as before and have concluded I just have a bad copy of the game and there is nothing bootleg could do to help me. Guess I'm gonna try to buy the 2012 version and mod that (assuming it's cheaper/safer than buying a used original version)

Thanks for the attempts to help.

It's completely blank. The game doesn't error out, it just shows a black screen and I have to alt+f4 to get out.

This is going to sound really stupid, this is only the second game I've ever modded, but what/where is the "bootloader" to start the game correctly? I made a max install without directx or xmedia, downloaded all the necessary mods for bootleg (only green and yellow in mod list), ran bootleg. I can start the game using ff7.exe but all that happens is I get to the opening screen ("New Game" and "Continue") and then it just goes black. I've tried hopelessly to figure it out, but am getting frustrated. Any help would be appreciated.
