Hi everyone,
I'm new here and new to FF8 modding as well, so sorry if I state something obviously wrong or any other mistake like that.
Since I'm an absolute lover of Nobuo Uematsu's music (I've seen the Distant Worlds show this year in Paris : absolutely amazing ), I've obviously found myself here in no-time while searching for a way to improve the sound quality of my PC-version FF8, since it seemed quite poor compared to the original PSX version.
That's why I've tried the Roses and Wine mod. Before complaining about what's not working (yes, that's why I'm here ^^), I would like first of all to thank warmly everyone who has been working on this project, since it is a great idea, especially DLPB who seems to have spend a lot of time and work on it.
So, here's the problem : I haven't managed to make it work.
A few things first : I have a GeForce 650 twin-frozr and a Windows 7 64 bit.
EDIT : i have the french version installed
In order to install it, I have followed these steps :
1 - installing the game with the original CD
2 - patched it with the 1.2 non geforce version (since I've read here that the geforce version was not necessary)
I've just copied the files in the archive in my installed game folder, replacing the original exe and dll, is that correct?
3 - installed the aali's driver that i've downloaded here :
http://backup.ninjaloot.se/share/ff7_opengl-0.7.11b.zipI've extracted all the files directly into my installed game folder, replacing again what needed to be replaced, if any (don't remember).
I've followed the step described on the last post of this thread :
http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=8306.25EAX unified was already installed by the game on its original installation
I touched nothing on the ff8_opengl.cfg since it didn't seem necessary after reading it.
When I start the game, it crashes immediatly after the Eidos screen title.
Here is the app.log
