you are a gentleman.

I wouldn't be surprised if I skipped by that too quickly because it didn't start exactly like I thought it would..

anyway, much appreciated!

Thanks guys, both are helpful in their own way.

But I used sfxEdit to extract the wav files - it gave me 724 of them. I'm pretty sure I played through every single one but I didn't hear ultima...
Any way to pinpoint it?

Support / extracting sound clips from FFVII

« on: 2012-03-03 01:34:19 »

Is there an easy way to do this? All I want to do is get the Ultima materia sound effect and convert it to an .mp3 or something.
Is there any way to pull them from the game files rather than recording "What U Hear?" I don't want background music or anything

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

I do have a gamepad but I haven't yet plugged it in since i reformatted, so the computer has never seen it - but I was actually thinking about trying it out to see if it's any different.

I've played through the game many times before on my computer (not this particular machine), though this is the first time I've ever done it with all these mods (which are fantastic by the way), and I can't remember if I ever had this issue. I honestly think I might have, and just never really noticed/cared. I figured I'd post just to see if it was a common thing or if anyone else experiences it.

completely up-to-date.
I reformatted my PC last week and made sure I got all the windows updates... took like all day but the computer is running better than ever.
and it's not like the problem i'm having is a game-changer, its just not as responsive as it should be in a battle; just some slight lag. I have to be a little more deliberate when navigating the cursor.. if I press the keys too quickly it might not register one of the press and I'll select the wrong thing. again, not major - but noticable compared to the main menu if i'm on the world map.

I do have an nvidia graphics card so that's why I left the PBO setting checked. I'll admit I don't even know what it does but I read in the readme that nvidia cards could leave it on.
and I unchecked preserve aspect ratio - didn't really notice any difference in the size of the window it plays in but I'll leave it unchecked nonetheless.

Thanks

rest of the computer specs:
Core i7 950
12 gb RAM
Windows 7 x64
nvidia GTX470

I have a slight issue while in battle... I tried searching the forums but didn't come up with anything and I hope this is the right place to ask..

It just seems that the cursor response in battle is a little sluggish compared to, say, the main menu while just walking around. Just selecting between items, like spells, enemy skills - anything with a long list, feels slow.

here's a screenshot of my bootloader screen if it helps at all


Any settings I can play with?
Thanks

Troubleshooting / Re: Making playable backup discs of my old FFVII Discs

ahh no, that regedit stuff makes sense, i didn't think of that - because i did indeed install it from the cd drive with the original cds.
I do know how to do it, thanks.
I'll go see if it works.


//edit
yup works perfectly!
thanks for the help guys

http://club.cdfreaks.com/f48/create-iso-image-nero-133010/   Check the post by Stevejum, it worked perfectly for me.

yeah i got it workin actually....

kind of.

i did extract the contents of the disc into an .iso format onto my hard drive, and tried mounting it with magicdisc, but it wouldn't run. when i exec'd ff7.exe, it just said insert disc.

so i just put in the backup copy i made and it worked so it's all gravy i guess.

I personally use DiscJuggler, but apparently a lot of people have trouble with it. So my advice there is try it but prepare for the possibility of disappointment. Nero 8 can do it, but I think it'll only create backups in .nrg format, which a lot of mounting utilities don't support. It's been a long time since I've used anything else, really. MagicISO might work, and if I remember correctly, CloneCD will do it as well, but only in it's .ccd format which some mounting utilities don't support.

yeah i've been playin with nero and can't seem to get beyond that .nrg format... google isn't being very helpful either.
but i did successfully get my copies done so i have working backups, and thats good enough for now.

thanks for all the help.

alright well thanks a lot for the help!

i'll probably go with the backup DVD route, sounds like a good plan.

//edit

except for I'm a nub and can't figure out how to create ISO's from CD's in NERO 8, so I'm just using Nero to make the copies, and that worked.
any help/suggestions on the ISO part?

Troubleshooting / Making playable backup discs of my old FFVII Discs

« on: 2008-01-07 04:15:38 »

I own the game - 2 copies actually - of the eidos platinum collection of FFVII.
The game is very old and the discs are showing their age. I was able to pull together 4 good discs out of the 8 that I have, that look like they should play. I successfully installed the game and started playing it with Disc 2, so those are good, but I don't know about 3 and 4 yet.

All I want to do is copy the entire contents of the play discs (2, 3, 4 - I already did 1 [the install disc]) so I have extras.
I tried copying them with windows - and it did, but when I put them in, when I execute ff7.exe, it doesn't recognize the discs as playable. I did, however, successfully copy the install disc and that works fine.

So all I have right now is backups of the actual data on the discs, but I can't play off them.
Is there anyway to make playable copies? Legally, since I do own the game twice?

Thanks
