Radeon 9200 se 8bits opengl

[corpse]

Ok Just by mistake I've managed to find away of running a radeon with 8bit textures and in opengl. First of all you need:

an old Graphics (nvidia or any which supports 8bit textures, you only need this temp)
a radeon card

1.Put the nvidia card in the machine, run ff7 config enable 8bit textures.
2.Put a radeon card in, intall drivers etc. Do not re-run FFconfig!
3. run regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\1.00\Graphics
And use value 2 for Driver

This needs to go into game tweaking... and be PAINTED IN GOLD!

... if it works.  Someone verify this!

Darned homework....

Off it goes.

/I run linux, can't verify, but I gather the game tweaking people can...

ok, if this is true? would it be possible to hack the config to pretend it accepted it for an nvidia card? sort of emulated 8 bit palletted textures? i don't know the technical aspect but the concept is there, any takers?

EDIT: btw... technically i CAN try it, i have an old 64mb nvidia geforce card. but right now i have a 256 mb radeon x800, so... i'd rather not downgrade by that much.

EDIT EDIT: whoa! i figured it out! it's partially thanks to you for giving me the idea of using regedit, i'm going to make a new topic for this fix!
