All that stuff has been done, I'm seriously out of ideas. I'm half tempted to just stick with the garbage-sounding midi files.
 
Strange... I can't seem to figure it out

I can't seem to find what's missing, I guess I'm all out of ideas too.

I'll look into it mustangfan
 
Hello.

I am having some issues with FFVIImusic.
I am running windows vista 32xbit operating system.
Well, when i start final fantasy VII everything works all well and good: the intro plays and theres no crappy midi music, FFVIImusic seems to be working just fine.
Well, after my first battle, or when i try to go to the menu, the game crashes. Someone told me that I need to set the compatability mode of the game to "run this program in compatibility mode for windows 95/98. So i tried it and sure enough it fixed my problem; the game didnt crash at all and everything was working BUT
there was midi music playing!, FFVIImusic ceased to function and i was stuck with the crappy midi sounds again.

apparently there is some compatibility issue with everything.

any ideas on what the problem could be?

For the past few days I've been trying to get this patch to work without success. I was wondering if someone who has gotten it to work would be so kind as to make a comprehensive guide starting with the installation of FF7, all subsequent patches before ff7, and then go into detail about the installation of ff7music with links to dl's if possible.
 
No, I just gave up on it for a while cause it was giving me a headache
 
Wow, this thread has some longevity! I tend to play through FF7 every other year, and this year I was going to amp it all up. So I came across ficedula's program, but I'm terribly newb when it comes to these mods and how they work.

So this might be so dumb some of you wouldn't find it worthy of a reply but I really don't know anything so tell it to me simple if possible please! When I try to configure the Input Plugin to in_mp3.dll I get an immediate error saying "Access violation at address 1300AA3D in module 'in_mp3.dll'. Read of address 00000000." I've read the whole thread and saw a couple other people with this same problem (over the years) but I don't see any answers to it. Did this get solved and are there any suggestions out there?

Also, since I haven't been able to get it to work, I don't know what kind of files are included with the program. Where can I find all the mp3s or psfs as they are listed in the ini files?

Thanks for the help!
 
Hello!

I have windows Vista and FF7 Music works perfectly. (With many hacks ^^)

But... When I put the game on pause (on the battle screen), music continues. She has to pause too!

Recent version of in_mp3.dll may not work with FF7Music.  Perhaps you can find some older version(probably from WinAMP 2.x.... I can't remember well) to make it work.  And for psf files, check Neill Corlette's PSF Central.  You can find links to several hosting sites.
 
I ran into problems getting the PSF music files to work with FF7Music 1.51: they were not playing at all. After some trial and error, I discovered that I have to run the game directly through the ff7.exe and not through ff7music.exe, for some reason if I launched the game using ff7music.exe the music wouldn't play and it would stay this way even if I subsequently tried using ff7.exe again. When this happened I had to use the 'cetra' utility to restore the ff7.exe backup version and reapply the music patch, once done, the music would play just fine as long as I used the ff7.exe file instead of the ff7music.exe launcher.

I'd say that it didn't work when running through ff7music.exe, because you used the cetra utility.

I got the same problem, the input psf plugin (Highly Experimental) works fine, but when I pick the output plugin as out_wave.dll, it says 'access violation at address 13501A55 in module 'in_wm.dll' Read of address 00000000, I'm using the latest version (5.541). Can anyone help me?
 
I actually have a MP3 of the Cintro which I recorded off a youtube clip from the game in progress..though I wish there was a PSF of it. That's actually one of my more favorite loops in the game.


I want a PSF though :(
 
Sorry for double posting but I am about to record a much longer version of this track rather than 1 min.

Thanks to epsxe I can do this and I'll have the link up for download!
So you guys can have a high quality mp3 of the sephiroth shinra mansion theme!

Here you guys! This is a 7 min long looped version of the shinra mansion theme also made so it loops from when it ends!
Long awaited it seems. Enjoy!

Hi all! I'm running into an odd problem using ficedula's music patch. I've downloaded the latest version, and am running on XP Home edition.

Anyway, the patch is pretty awesome, and I decided to play the game using PSF's for that nostalgic feeling. I got it working with no problems (Except a small episode with dead silent FMV's, but I fixed that by turning "Emulate ramps" off), but I seem to have run into an apparently random bug: sometimes, during a song change, (Like when you win a battle and the fanfare plays) the music dies. Just like that. The game continues to run normally, and there are sound effects, I can turn the midi volume up and hear it no prob, but the PSFs refuse to play. I can move into a different area and the music won't resume either. As mentioned before, it's completely random. Sometimes I fight 30 battles, run around into different areas etc. and it's fine, other times the music stops at the first occasion.

Turning the game off and then starting it up again fixes the problem, but sooner or later it happens again at a music change. I'm clueless as to what's causing it, much less how to fix it. Does anyone have an answer? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time, and keep on rocking. :mrgreen:

Edit: I also have to close FF7 music exe. through ctrl+alt+delete because it doesn't respond after the bug\crash. Maybe that will help in identifying the problem?
