FF8 inverted video?
« on: 2012-09-16 22:27:56 »
I have looked all over the net for a solution to this issue, but can't find anything anywhere T_T I'm trying to run the game on my laptop, and everything in-game is fine but all fmv's seem to be inverted on both the x- and y-axis (as if mirrored). Even the first logo screen with "Square Soft LLC" etc has the text inverted. The game runs perfectly on my desktop pc without this issue, so I'm guessing it's related to the fact that my laptop has onboard gfx? The error is entertaining though, because every time it switches from in-game to FMV Squall is walking upside-down at the top of the screen :P

What I've installed/tried:
-Patch 1.2 (Non-geForce). I used the geForce patch for my desktop pc
-ff8launcher 1.3
-toggling between software rendering/D3D
-multiple versions of Aali's opengl driver
-removed all codecs

 Please, I would appreciate any help with this issue. I should point out that my laptop is 64-bit while my desktop is 32

Hi lunch

So in FF7 I hear from this before, but with FF8???

I would first try a registry cleaner (eg ccleaner).
Often times let passed, some of the entries are hidden behind others.

If that does not help, you can try install the K-Lite-Mega-Pack 7.0.0.0
I know there are new versions, but this one has a few other options.

If that does not help, you can try the Geforce patch..

Did you try run EAXUnified.exe, attached to the patch?
