I've reinstalled the game and installed your program. But I get the Disc error aswell.
I've tried this:
With both my G:\\ and H:\\ drives, but to no avail.
Is it because I haven't installed bootleg (and therefore Aali's custom driver) yet?
The CD error has nothing to do with Aali's driver, it is due to the game not being able to find the CD's, it needs to find a disc called FF7DISC1, if you have anything that uses USB and can be renamed you should plug it in and inside MY COMPUTER rename the drive to FF7DISC1, then run the patch to whatever drive that is. or if you have the original CD just put it into the drive and make sure it shows up as FF7DISC1 (NOT THE INSTALL CD) then set the registry to that drive, that should work (hopefully)
uch this is giving me a headache haha. The .bak file is from 2012 so is the re-release version. When I rename it and run the batch file it hangs for a while and then tells me there are no suitable patches (and then renames my flevel.lgp back to .bak but doesn't generate another one) and i'm kind of going around in circles. Think i'll just pull my disc copy out of cold storage and play that, seems MUCH less headachey at the moment hah.
Squall, I didn't think to do this before trying to install the patch, but my other half also purchased the rerelease yesterday and has it installed on his computer. Do you think stealing his unmodified directory and using it to restore mine would cause issues?
OK if you have a flevel (it doesn't matter which at this point, once we get the game working we can sort that) forget about patching flevel for now, the old game will boot even with the new flevel.lgp just some mods won't work but the game will load.
So the first thing you need to do is get Aali's driver working, try downloading and installing it yourself or via bootleg and then check your app.log (when you are using Aali's driver the App.log will start with
INFO: FF7/FF8 OpenGL driver version 0.7.11b
INFO: Auto-detected version: FF7 1.02 US English
if you see "INITIALIZE DD/D3D START " that means Aali's Driver is NOT installed
