The internal resolution option is definitely helpful. Changing the window size option on its own caused my game to crash. Setting the internal resolution to 640 x 480 first solved the issue.
 
Hello, it`s been a while that i came to this forum.
I have a question to ask to author: The Anti-aliasing settings are custonized by you righ? Because in driver settings i check par exemple 8x,16xQ,32x, 64X in newer cards and can`t seeany changes. It seens is auto 12x. Can do that in the config file?

Best of regards.
 
Just a question
In the opengl.cfg ? :

post_source = shaders/SmartBloom.post
enable_postprocessing = yes
use_shaders = yes

??? Thanks!

I use:

enable_postprocessing = yes
post_source = shaders/SmartBloom.post
yuv_source = shaders/yuv.frag
frag_source = shaders/main.frag
vert_source = shaders/main.vert

Just to be safe.

I've updated the shader again also, its in the above post, should be the last needed update, enjoy.

Edit:
@savage-xp
I'm not 100% on this, but i'd imagine the AA would be incorperated in the post processing effects only, such as fxaa, and the linear filter. I've also tested this, and the GPU control panel enhancements, and/or regedit options have no affect as it's running off the openGL api. I've found no multisampling options for the config file, and I've been pretty thorough lol

This driver is good, but since the saint patch don`t work in windows 7, can`t change the resolution further than the native 640x480. Stand alone, the game runs ok with FSAA desired.

Ok I added them in the .cfg.
 
With the latest HDR shader files-- HDRSBloomV2.zip-- I get a post-processing error when the game starts.
APP.LOG has this to say:

0(46) : error C7011: implicit cast from "vec4" to "vec3"
0(46) : error C1035: assignment of incompatible types

I managed to eliminate the error by altering the SmartBloom.post file:

Original:
    gl_FragColor.rgb = color + mix(d1,1.75*normalize(vec2(d1*d1,0.82)).x,0.577*d1)*normalize(C1);

Working:
    gl_FragColor.rgb = mix(d1,1.75*normalize(vec2(d1*d1,0.82)).x,0.577*d1)*normalize(C1);
 
I'm getting errors too, trying to use the HDRSmartBloom.

Why isn't this error appearing to me? Do i not use any option?
 
Sorry about that fellas, was working for me. Use the below files, I've updated the above file aswel. Works perfectly for me.

Your latest version also isn't working for me. i get the same error as above.

Asmodean if you don't mind could you make a video preview and showoff it more like a comparison? afaik your driver looks graphically better? would it work on my 1024x768 resolution?
 
I received the error too.
I changed this to prevent the error:

Original:
       gl_FragColor.rgb = c+mix(d1,1.75*normalize(vec2(d1*d1,0.82)).x,0.577*d1)*normalize(C1);

Working:
       gl_FragColor.rgb = vec3(c)+mix(d1,1.75*normalize(vec2(d1*d1,0.82)).x,0.577*d1)*normalize(C1);
 
Hey there people. Been a long time since I've been here but I've been wanting to play FF7 again, so I went and get Aali's driver here (v0.7.11b). But I keep having a problem with the initial setup. Every time I go to select "Custom" for the driver in FF7config, it crashes with an unknown error. I've tried older versions of the driver down to v0.7.7b, but this keeps happening. As such, I can't get Aali's driver to work correctly. I can force set the custom driver in the registry, but when I do that I can't go to the Graphics tab on FF7config because it crashes straight away since I forced the custom driver to be selected through the registry.

When I try running FF7 through forcing the custom driver selection, it crashes straight away with an error from the custom driver and it writes a crash.dmp of course. I assume this happens because the custom driver didn't get to set an internal resolution from what I can tell from reading various posts.

Now, I was wondering, is there a way to force set the internal resolution? Is there a work around for this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

System specs:
WinXp Pro 32bit w/ SP3 and all current updates
AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800+ @ 2.25GHz
2 Gigs of RAM
ATI Radeon HD2800Pro AGP w/ Catalyst v12.1

I'm currently in the process of setting up a VM to see if it's something wrong with my Windows installation, or if this problem is actually coming from the custom driver.

-----------------
EDIT
-----------------

FF7config and FF7 seems to run fine and dandy on the VM I've set up, and upon further investigating, there seems to be some weird sh*t going on with my OpenGL apparently, which is what seems to be making FF7config mess up on my normal install. I'm going to attempt updating the video card drivers since there is apparently a new version available. I'll post an update afterwards.

-----------------
EDIT
-----------------

Updated to Catalyst 12.3 - Still no good. There has to be something messing up with Windows itself then from what I can tell. Any ideas?

-----------------
EDIT
-----------------

FIXED! Clean install of my ATI drivers did the trick! I am kinda disappointed I haven't gotten a reply to this though :(

Has anyone ever run out of memory while using this driver? This driver appears to have a memory leak on my computer. After a while (usually an hour for FF7, I'm not entirely sure yet for FF8), my game freezes up on me. In FF7, RAM usage spikes up to 1.7 GB, some textures don't load properly (black boxes in some screens and in battle screens, modified weapons and sprites show up as black silhouettes), and the game freezes up if I keep playing past the point this starts happening. In FF8, RAM usage spikes up to 1.8 GB and the game freezes between the battle against Ultimecia (junctioned to Griever) and Ultimecia (final form). I haven't tested FF8 in any other conditions since I've already reached the end of that game before installing the driver (I used the FF8 Launcher 1.31 before this driver). Afterwards, I have to quit the game via Task Manager. As I asked before, has anyone else run into this?
 
I've been trying to download this driver for three or four days now, and every time, the page times out. Is the server down? If so, is there anywhere else I can get hold of this driver? Because I would really like to get some of these mods I've downloaded working.
