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

« on: 2013-11-08 18:43:20 »

When FF7 says it can not run in full screen I found out that it tends to be that you set the game screen resolution to exceed your monitor resolution so it converts it back to the original resolution.

Now the biggest question here is what version of the game are you using, is it the 1997 version, the re-release from Square Enix or the Steam version, because when you said you mounted the install image fine, and then used game convertor that is when things started to get confusing.

Also it would be best to answer your questions here because if any other person has similar problems they can look it it up here and hopefully find some answers.

thanks for such a prompt reply! forum is very active I see, it was a good idea to register

I will try some other resolutions by playing with the cfg, but I had set it to my monitors res, 1360 x 768. could this be my fatal mistake? what should it be set to?

my copy is the first Squaresoft release (long live the original Square!)

as to the configurator, I watched the tutorial video and saw the first thing to do after a clean install was to download that configurator and run it, is that old news, should I bypass that and go straight to using the frontend? I am at the moment downloading the mods I have selected with the bootleg config

EDIT: I had to check and make sure I didn't do anything dumb, but yes, on the tutorial page it says "Step 1: Read, download, and run the latest version of FF7 Game Converter." and after I downloaded and ran it is when I started getting problems even opening the game

EDIT:so I tried to change the res in the cnf and the ff7 cfg, I get the same result, just different sizes now. it will flash a black screen (or window) and say it has stopped working and then close.
I suppose ill uninstall again and fresh install again and just skip that step and go from clean install directly to installing mods using the BootLeg Configurator and see it it goes any better

hello, this looks to be an amazing project, I researched it and am ready to give it a go. However I fail upon Step 1 outlined in this tutorial.

I mount install image and install fine, I install old video drivers fine. I test play and everything works fine as in original.

then I download the required  FF7_GameConverter_0.9b.exe as specified in tutorial outline and install in game root directory. here -> http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14047.msg196959#msg196959 it states you should run the game once before applying any mods with the bootleg.

I check as admin and proceed to run, BUT I get an error stating there is a error and cant run full screen/ reverting to original resolution. I click ok and then it say that the application has stopped working and it closes the program.

I have tried all number of settings in the ff7 config in attempts to get it working so I can then add the redone character models ect, but im either met with the same failure, or it fails to open anything whatsoever.

any help at all is much appreciated, shoot me a PM, im happy to answer any questions about my process of install ect. thanks
