Simplified way to install FF7 PSF properly
« on: 2004-10-08 20:24:20 »
Hey

I've read quite a bit about the installation of the PSF files and found a few inconsistencies in the ReadMe files accompanying the programs; where to place files (I had MANY duplicates after!), PSFs not locating, etc.
It took me a few hours and install / reinstall about three times, but after all the troubleshooting I thought it was worth it to do this.

Download the zip and read the instructions inside. Some of the paths should be fine assuming C:\Program Files\Final Fantasy VII was used. I included the in_psf and out_ds (recommended) in the Ficedula folder. I wrote simple instructions on ONLY the settings that need changing, the rest is fine; it comes from my own working ini file. Also, a short bit about graphics and sound issues for beginners is included (just problems everyone encounters - nothing like the depth of the FAQ).

Even though this is for the "Ultima" version, I own FF7 PC and paid something really silly for it when it came out. It's just 10x easier if you're starting with this version.

I hope this simplifies the procedures for getting those fantastic sounding PSF files to work!

I originally did this for some friends to make it easier who know me under a different alias, thus "Herren" at the end.

Yep, go to volume control and add MIDI Synth as a device and mute it. You mean PSF files right?? I know the icon looks the same (just so we're on the same page). :D

Heh, maybe I'm a little behind the times on the 8-bit ATI issue. Direct3D CAN work using the 1.02 and TNT mode...old news...but you have to set application preference to not only Anti-Aliasing, but Anistropic Filtering too (grid line artifacts otherwise). There is no other way to disable these.

Updated with that info.

I tried to change the path to the in_psf and out_ds files, but it's too specific (the path won't be consistent on all machines). It's using the Winamp path now, most logical if you have your in_psf file in the plugins folder.
