I solved the issue on my handheld GPD Win 2. ff7_opengl.cfg had direct_mode = off so I corrected that and now I see the new battle models. However Miscellaneous - Dynamic Cloud Weapons is now not loading (No weapon on the field) -_-;; Not that big a deal, I can live without that.
Still, my desktop is still an issue. Lower priority as I do plan on playing this more mobile. But I do like switching back and forth between machines. I have my save file on Dropbox and I use Link Shell Extension
http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html to make a folder junction for my saves. Handheld > Save to Dropbox > Desktop > Load save from Dropbox and continue playing where I left off. So far, no issues with sharing save files like that.
I'm watching some of the other threads to see what kind of solutions you guys offer, hence how I was turned onto the fix for the GPD unit. But I am seeing the issue on my desktop as I described before. Menu overhaul isn't working. I have high DPI scaling (300% because 4K makes things tiny) but I have that bypassed on ff7_bc.exe via the compatibility tab and 640X480 selected. It is similar to another thread here where the one guy can't get Remako to load. I'm also getting battle HUD garbage to the right where the limit break bars go. Menu - Avatars and Backdrops also doesn't load. No Remako either.
Anyway, I'll dump the stuff from my desktop. I haven't yet tried 1.56 on the desktop yet. I might since it is working nicely on my GPD.

ff7_opengl.cfg:
# ff7_opengl-0.8.1b config file
## USER OPTIONS ##
## If you just want to play the game, these are the only options you'll want to change.
# set the window size (or fullscreen resolution) of FF7
# 0 means use original resolution in window mode, your current desktop resolution will be used in fullscreen mode
# preserve_aspect adds black borders as needed to preserve a 4:3 aspect ratio
window_size_x = 0
window_size_y = 0
internal_size_x = 3840
internal_size_y = 2160
preserve_aspect = on
fullscreen = on
# mod directory
# subdirectroy of mods/ where textures will be loaded from
mod_path = Textures
# check your Nvidia/ATI/Intel control panel settings if this option doesn't seem to work
enable_vsync = on
# allow FF7 to use linear filtering for its textures
# some things look slightly better with this option on, but alot of textures just lose their detail
# only affects low-res textures, high-res replacements will still be filtered where appropriate
linear_filter = off
# plugin used to play music, VGMstream requires a set of looping .ogg files in the music/vgmstream folder.
# If no music plugin is loaded the game will play MIDI as usual but FF7Music will NOT work.
music_plugin = plugins/vgmstream_music.fgp
## ENHANCEMENTS ##
## All the little extras that weren't part of the original game, default options include only trivial bug fixes.
# make all dialog boxes transparent, same effect as the transparent dialog boxes YAMP patch
transparent_dialogs = on
# include armor in magic defense calculation
mdef_fix = yes
# minigame fixes
snowboard_framerate=60
highway_framerate=30
coaster_framerate=60
battleswirl_framerate=60
# post-processing shader, used to apply fullscreen effects
post_source = shaders/SmartBloomAdvanced.post
enable_postprocessing = no
## ADVANCED OPTIONS ##
## Don't fiddle with these unless you know what you're doing.
# enable alpha blending for textures without an existing blending effect
fancy_transparency = yes
# display frames per second counter in upper right corner
show_fps = off
# display some real-time debug information
show_stats = off
# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = no
# max size of the texture cache to hold in RAM, in megabytes
# don't set it any higher than 1GB unless you want your game to crash
texture_cache_size = 768
# use pixel buffer objects to speed up texture loading
# might crash horribly on ATI cards but should work for NVIDIA users
use_pbo = no
# use mipmaps (anisotropic filtering) for high-res textures
use_mipmaps = yes
# replace FF7's default framelimiter timer source
use_new_timer = yes
# plugin used to play movies, FFMpeg is the only choice for now
movie_plugin = plugins/ffmpeg_movies.fgp
## MODDER OPTIONS ##
## These options are mostly useful to modders and should not be enabled during normal play.
# read files directly instead of using LGP archives
# for example; if FF7 is looking for aaab.rsd in char.lgp, this option will make it open direct/char/aaab.rsd first,
# if this file doesn't exist it will look for the original in the LGP archive
direct_mode = on
# show every failed attempt at loading a .png texture
show_missing_textures = off
# extern additional library
load_library = Multi.dll
