HELP FINAL FANTASY VII: INTERNATIONAL

[learner]

The only Final Fantasy VII that I had is the International Version for PlayStation.

I made an ISO files of all 4 discs and could anyone please help me or teach me how...

1) make an PlayStation Patch Format...

2) for me to make a decent translation of FFVII from it's original language, which is Japanese to English.

3) and to fix the MDef Bug in the International Version.

I saw a PPF patch of FFVII but it only works on the North American Version.(made by gemini)

But if anyone can give me a MDEF bug fixed for the International Version, I'm ok with it as long as it's working fine, cause for me that MDEF bug is the only bug that I hate in playing my FFVII:International by the way i'm using an emulator of course to play this game on pc.

For the Mdef bug, it might be wise to PM NFITC1, Bosola or Gemini to ask how they found the function in the versions they used. The function won't be in the same place in the International .iso, but the process for finding it will be more-or-less the same; if you know how to find it on one version, you can find it on all of them. Unfortunately, you'll probably need a debugger and some awareness of programming and assembly code in order to find anything useful. This kind of thing is a step beyond standard .bin file hex-editing in terms of required knowledge.

Have you read the readme file that came with armips?

As for the code, it's the same as the example code for fixing the bug in the NTSC (or was it PAL?) version. It probably won't work for the International version. I mean, you can try using it...

Sure they do. In fact, FF7 Plus (a mod of mine) will be basically the MDef fix + enemy AI fixes + a few text changes.
