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

« on: 2014-02-26 00:41:55 »

Well actually... I've read (somewhere on the internet of course) that older versions of the dll seem to have less compatibility problems and I found out that actually, by replacing the dll with an older version, even after reboot, it stays. What lead me to believe that, after rebooting, the system would automatically replace the file with the original one, was because I was replacing the file located in my "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\coprocmanager" instead of the C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\coprocmanager (notice the "x86"). That was the dll that was making the program unworkable.

For me, the solution was to take out the dll to another folder (it's sitting in the desktop) but, as I stated, it seems that replacing the file with an older version might work as well, though; I have no idea what version might actually work.

Thank you for the help!
Seems the problem I had is very common on nvidia cards. If you anyone experience the same Nvd3d9wrap.dll error all that needs to be done is to go to where it is located and cut the file to any place (like the desktop). When you are done playing just put in again (to be on the safe side).

Thanks for the big help Kompass63

EDIT
So after all that I tried running FF7 confing to see what happened and it crashed immediately
I went to my pc and discovered that the Nvd3d9wrap.dll was the cause of the crash. Problem is, that dll is related to my graphics cards (it is a nvidia geforce card) and the only way to replace it was by running the pc in safe mode. But, even after I replaced the dll with another working one, and after reeboting the pc, the system replaces the file I put in with the original file, thus, rendering the ff7 config impossible to run. I have no idea if this is related to the problem or not, but I thought I should post it anyway.

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

« on: 2014-02-24 03:43:12 »

Sorry guys but...

I just bought, downloaded and installed a Steam version of final fantasy (it's a 1.09 version)

The problem occurs right at the start with the game converter. What happens is, the game converter says that it has aplayed the 1.02 patch but the game itself doesn't get updated. Because of that, the FF7 config won't work and, because of that, BFE and bootleg won't work either.

I've searched the whole internet (ok not whole but did a search) and couldn't find a manual update to 1.02 version.

Am I missing something? Or Am I just dumb? (the game is installed on a second partion of the disc so I don't think that's the problem. Plus, I mounted the blank ISO when running the game converter)

Any help is apreciated
