*AntiAlising temporary turned off*
*Anistrophic Filtering temporary off*
*RivaTuner installed, and new FSAA codes tested / Doesnt help*
Chocobo Patch installed and tested, doesnt help

8bit palattes are enabled.
MoviePatch installed, doesnt change shit.

I can write on Swedish:
Hej, kollat om du kan spela filmer direkt från hårddisk?

Swedish: ja jag kan spela filmer från hårddisken, bara att spelet hänger sig när jag startar de när jag har hardware grafik på.

English: yes, i can play movies from my harddrive, just that the game hang up when i start it with hardware accelerated graphics on.

Och fastän det är skojigt att prata svenska så är det nog att föredra att hålla sig till engelska eller åtminstone skriva tvåspråkigt som svennis, särskilt i ett sånt här ämne där andra besökare kanske kan dra nytta av innehållet.

English: Mumbo-jumbo about the importance of making yourself understood by everyone.

James Pond: Just because you don't understand what they're saying doesn't mean you need to throw the thread off-topic.  There's still an issue with FF7 we're trying to solve...  I thought about issuing you a warning, but decided that I'd just post a warning this time.

Unfortunately, Babelfish doesn't translate Swedish, so I have no idea what you guys are saying.

How about clueing me in?

Well fortunately all the tech-talk can be deduced from the English parts. The question was "Can you play movies from your hard drive?", and the answer was given in both languages. The other stuff in Swedish is me making a comment that while it may be fun to speak Swedish here, English is preferable, especially since other people will be insterested in the content. The last remark is "Okay, I'll remember that for next time."
