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

Tell me what keyboard keys you've mapped out. Controller Joystick UP --> What keyboard key??? , Controller X --> What keyboard key???, etc...

For the directional buttons, I first tried the number pad, but then I tried the directional keys on the keyboard. For the buttons, I assigned them similar to the following link:

Except I kept the cancel and confirm buttons in the normal positions. Mind you, I used each of Xpadder and Motion in Joy separately, then attempted to use a mixture of them as per a suggestion on the Steam forums. The guy swears it works for him, but I also don't think he is playing a modded version of the game. I read somewhere on here that the FF7 music mod may be interfering with any gamepad programs, so I am beginning to wonder if I am out of luck here.

This wouldn't be a problem if the thumb stick wasn't so awful with menu navigation...

I posted in the Tifa Bootleg thread, but I now think this might be a better place to see this answered since my question is about issues AFTER getting the mods to work. Since working with my PS3 controller, I have finally figured out a way to get the d-pad recognized while in the the game. Unfortunately, it only seems to work in the unmodded version of the game. Am I doing something wrong here? Has anyone experience and solved this problem?

Again, apologies for the double-post, but I really feel like this question was better set here instead of where I originally posted. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

I foresee this being my last issue in getting the game to work. After working quite a while to get a setup that works with my PS3 d-pad, I finally got one to work by mapping the keyboard to the controller through Motion in Joy. The problem I have now is that the controller is only recognized in the unmodded Steam version of the game. I cannot seem to get the controller to function at all while playing the modded version.

Anyone ever experience this problem and solve it?

I have music but no sound. What can I do about this?

Solved: For some reason, using my television as a cloned display had split the music and the sound between the two sets of speakers. Running FF7config.exe while having them cloned was enough to fix the issue.

I am getting the "please insert disk..." message after installing the mod and trying to run the game. This is my third attempt at installation and I'm sad that it's not working. Is there anyone that is able to help me at all? I'm normally pretty good at following directions, but I just can't seem to get this right apparently.

I have 64-bit Windows Vista, and I purchased the Steam version of the game. I feel like the issue here is probably linked to Steam being a jackass about me choosing to install only one game on a different drive, but I seriously don't want to reinstall everything I have on Steam just to see if it will help me mod FF7.

Edit: I forgot to add that I did try all of the suggestions in the FAQ for this problem. None of them seemed to work for my situation.

EDIT 2: As embarrassing as it is to admit this, I probably should in case someone else has this problem. I fixed the issue by renaming the virtual drive from "FF7Disk1" to "FF7Disc1". I now have a new problem that I will make a new post for.
