There's nothing to support. All that stuff is "magic" as far as OpenGL is concerned, there are no options for it, you can't control it, the driver handles everything behind the scenes.
 
Ah, Guess i need to go yell at nVidia and get shot down..

Wait.. I think that doing that might draw unwanted attention from square..... Guess i just wait until i get normal SLI and pray it works

You might want to change how the driver handles the rendering in sli. There are 2 options, Alternate field rendering which renderers a different frame on each card and another one which i cant remember the name of that splits the screen and each render part of each frame. Might be worth a shot
 
aren't an option for that when using hybrid SLI... But when i get my other 9800gt i'll do that
 
Sucess!

I redid the registry thing.

Updated my drivers

added character model mods.

No background issues, new character models look good.

But while im here I have some related questions. Though I know its a little off topic from this thread, maybe someone can point in the right direction.


I swear i saw somewhere on Youtube where the start up sequence to the game used the version from the FF7 "remake" trailer from a couple of years ago. Am I imagining this? Or is this an actual mod?

Also, I have looked for the "FiceMusic v1.51" mod, but i only see a couple of references to it on google, couple of youtube vids and then the german ff7 site (Too bad I don't speak German). I see no download.

I see the "FinalFanTim's Remastered OST" and ill be trying that soon though.
As well as the keyboard patch.

And last i see there is no "offical release" for the advent children portrait mod, is there still somewhere I can find it? Or is that kind of taboo here because its technically importing content from another game?
 
I guess the youtube video I am refering to is this one


That still looks better than mine. My videos look the same as they did before. kinda grainy, and you dont even get a 100% solid black on the the part with the stars in the start up vid.

Is the reunion patch what I want?
 
omnivorism.. will you use edit instead of "triple-post"?

The driver itself doesn't change anything, it just makes FF7 use OpenGL output instead of DirectX, and in doing so it makes FF7 work in a lot of places where it didn't, and it makes life easier when adding custom models and backgrounds.
Plus you can crank the game's resolution up to insane levels, run it in a window, and in general configure it in ways that were impossible before.

The simplest way to make sure the driver is loading correctly is to set fullscreen to false in your config and make sure the game starts in a window. You can also look in APP.LOG and make sure OpenGL is mentioned in the first 10 lines or so.

That's because the program is called FF7Music. This tutorial might help you.
 
When I try to use this driver, it says "Registry editing has been disabled by the user." How can I fix this?

Someone has disabled registry editing on your computer. If you are not the owner of the pc ask the owner, if you are the owner u need to log into an administrator account

Yeah I think so.  Did i imagine the intro sequence from the ff7 "remake" trailer being inserted to the pc version of ff7 somewhere?
I found the character portraits somewhere, but the one for red XIII was different from the one i saw online.

I have ff7 with the  new drivers and character models working and it looks great.   Thanks for everyone's work to make this possible. It's a big improvement over the original.

I am only disappointed that ff9 was never released on pc and isnt getting the same treatment. I know its considered semi-blasphemous, but I prefer it to 7.
 
I liked 9 myself. Cept the whole, gotta rush to get Excalibur 2.. that enraged me..

But yes the FF7 tech demo has been used for a new opening, it's somewhere in the game tweaking. look for "grimmy" and you'll find it.

they are of DVD source. i plan on making my own from blu-ray source, But first i need a blu-ray drive haha..

Plus i don't believe i can release as it falls under they new rule by halkun

It was but i cleared it. I need to enable registry editing to run as administrator but it won't let me. Hmm.
 
I've been trying to weed through all of the pages in this thread, but mostly everything just like blows over my head...so I'll just ask my question that I'm having trouble with...

I downloaded the PC edition for FF7, and I'm trying to figure out some way to play it in a window mode, I don't know if it's possible to do, or if there was, what is like the dummies guide to doing that...thanks in advance to anyone who has any knowledge on this.
