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

« on: 2013-04-13 17:43:21 »

hey guys, it's me again.

I manage to get it started by now, but once I'm ingame I get problems with the music. In the opening movie the music doesn't keep up with the animation and after that I only get sound effects like sword strike soounds, item gathering sounds etc. but no music at all. I tried the suggestions from other threads on the forum but nothing worked out for me. I also tried re-installing FF7 Music without OSTRE and got the same result. Everything is configured like the tutorial says but somehow I can't get into CONFIG when I run ff7 music.exe - nothing happens when I press the button.

The suggested fixes for the problem seem outdated, because I don't have access to any files proposed for download from the threads for this kind of problem and most of the fixes are already implemented within the 040 version anyway, so it seems. Thanks!

It happens just sucks I can't test some of my ideas since not all mods can be supported with the new one.  Guess i'll have to wait I got the mount thing but when I try to change the registry it works but some how the game doesn't recognize it.

Edit: Okay things just got weird.  I fixed the issue with the EXE not recognizing the ISO but then the game goes black like its loading up but then closes.

Hey genesis063, man, would you mind telling me how exatly you managed to fix the bootleg to recoginze the mounted iso? If the game doesn't start after that, then it's fine for now because I would still be a step further than I am currently.
 I've had a similar problem for quite some time now but I wouldn't even know how to spell "a mod" so if someone is able to find the solution, then it would rather be you and not me thx man

Try my suggestion for manually mounting with Daemon Tools Lite, and let me know if you still have problems.

I did it as soon as I read your suggestion and it still didn't work: created a text doc, converted to iso, mounted to a virtual drive using DTL, chose the right drive in bootleg... the iso is there and mounted, the path in regedit leads to that drive (I figured bootleg does that automatically, maybe ). The problem is still there and it will still be there if I re-install everything... -.- I'm prepared to re-install it 10 times a day if it will work after a week, but there is something wrong elsewhere, almost sure of that, but I'll use every bit of information you would give me as good as I'm capable of. Thanks in advance Alyza.

Check to see the drive letter that it auto-mounts to, then select that letter in Bootleg Configurator.

Alternatively, you can use Daemon Tools Lite to mount your own image. All you have to do is create a blank text document labeled FF7DISC1 and turn it into an ISO. Then mount that ISO with DTL, and set the drive letter that it's mounted to in Bootleg Configurator.

Thanks for fast reply. I did everything suggested but there is no change in the outcome. Although I'm interested how this process actually should look like:

To pass the CD check, click the "Mount" button. Once a drive letter is assigned for FF7DISC1, use the drop-down menu for "Data Drive" and select it.
To get rid of this virtual drive, click "Unmount" or restart your computer.

because when "mount" button is clicked, I just get a brief black window that disappears immediatedly after that. There is no notification on the mounted drive or whatever. I am very nooby at this, I admit, but I clicked myself through the bootleg-modified FF7 folder and I think I can find the assigned drive there somewhere but the result never changes and I still get the same message everytime.

I can't seem to find anyone with the same problem wherever I look, so it would be totally understandable if you couldn't help me after all, but I'd still be happy if you could give me some ideas on what COULD have gone wrong, because maybe the problem lies somewhere else and I'm just too dumb to figure it out on my own  : /

Thanks!

Hello Guys,

Thank you very much for all the work you put into it and I'm giving my best to try it out finally. Unfortunately I seem to have some kind of a problem launching the game after I follow all the steps from the Tutorial. Unlike kingzope I have the file that he mentions and it seems to successfully mount everything. but after I go and start the game, an error message pops up saying "Please insert FF7 Game Disc 1,2 or 3 and try again".

I have re-release and bought it only because of the bootleg actually. The Applog in FF7 folder stays empty, bc it never gets to launch the game, I guess... I already uninstalled everything and tried again but with the same lack of success and now am desperate enough to go and buy final fantasy 7 from 1997 and try it with that one... but I still can't understand where the problem lies anyway.

Maybe you guys  have an idea, would be great, thanks!
