I've not once had an issue with FF7 PC crashing, Not ever. I honestly will blame the computer before the game. And mine is modded out very nicely with all the graphics mods/fixes (magic Defense fix is really the only one to be honest)
I just wanted to point that out. Moving on.
The PS3 is not anywhere near a PS1, different CPU architecture for starters. i could go into specifics but no-one wants that cause my post would be HUGE.
Scanlines aren't a PS1 "Feature" it's a "feature" of old CRT's, well the interlaced ones (you can get progressive scan CRTs) as it's a side effect of interlacing.
Basically everything i could say has been said by either bloodshot or DLPB.
Now, Unmodded, au natural, PC vs PSX? I'd give it to PSX just all around better. BUT, with the mods we have here, PC was kind enough to get some vaseline for the PSX's poor anus, as it sodomized it.
Want scanlines?

I have solved one issue. Next is the blurriness added by a CRT, add in a blur filter to the above code, and add a nice low setting to it.

As for crashing, scan with Malwarebytes (malwarebytes.org) and remove any infection, next update your graphics driver (that will help with any gaming you may do anyway) If need be reinstall FF7 with mods of your choice (if you'd like i can just send it all to you in a prepackaged ZIP, just lemme know the resolution of your monitor)
i have broken down your points made. The final thing is yes, two minigames are broken, And sadly only Aali can fix that, and i know he will. After that you have no complaints about the PC(modded) vs PS1. and the PC(modded) is by far, superior.
This is from someone who still has, and plays occasionally. FF7 on an original fat PS1.
