Finalturismo,
If the Remix is installed, the Hardcore installer automatically runs to update the hardcore component of the Remix. The switch is ignored. An old version of the Hardcore mod is already integrated in the Remix and requires updating.
You basically have two modes for FF7... There are two shortcuts, Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Hardcore. Also, in the Final Fantasy VII folder, there are two .bat files, 'Run FFVII-Remix.bat' and 'Run FFVII-Remix-Hardcore.bat'. Always run as administrator or the mode won't change.
This allows you to easily switch between Normal and Hardcore Modes. Also, the Menu Overhaul installs twice with the Remix-- once for each mode. The cheat settings can be configured differently for Normal and Hardcore Modes.
You could enable all the cheats for Hardcore and none for Normal.
For now, both modes share the same Menu Overhaul graphics.

Awesome, that means no problems what so ever than.
It just threw me off with the read me and the popup.
I figured that much tho.
Anyway this is better than sex.
Ive been using the default ff7 launcher on the desktop, is that ok?
Or do i run the remix.bat file just like the remix edition.
Not that i seen any difference between them.
Everyone should install this, so they can get a better idea of other textures etc need to be redone XD!
The even newer world map graphics were jaw dropping.
Same with the new Phoenix
And levels being smoothed out XD
and i could keep going...
even the high wind map has a smoother look to it.

finalturismo,
I check out the two issues you mentioned.
Cloud_Bike_Fix_Fixed.zip is a test file I was using. I removed it from the list. It's already in Bootleg.exe.
Avalanche High Res.exe vs Avalanche High Res b9.exe was my bad. Naughty me renamed the file. I fixed it so now both names work.
But, when I was fixing that, I realized that I wasn't actually including the Barret and Diamond Sword models from the Avalanche installer. It doesn't really make a difference because these models are also in the Remix, but I fixed it anyway.
I also removed the 'Cloud Strife' stick man Cloud model. I had it incorrectly labeled as a save point.
I've Updated the link with the new version.
You can launch FF7 with any of the three shortcuts, either .bat file or even the .exe. Just make sure to run as administrator. To enable Hardcore mode, use the shortcut 'Final Fantasy VII Hardcore' or the .bat file 'Run FFVII-Remix-Hardcore.bat'. Once Hardcore mode is enabled, it stays enabled until you run the .bat file 'Run FFVII-Remix.bat' or the 'Final Fantasy VII' shortcut located in All Programs, Final Fantasy VII.
The 'Final Fantasy VII' shortcut on the desktop launches FF7 in whichever mode it was last run--Normal or Hardcore.
I should also mention another feature.
There are now 4 soundtracks available: MIDI, OGG, MP3 and a cool Remixed version with more bass.
OGGs are the default because they loop better.

"Run Bootleg.exe as administrator by right clicking on Bootleg.bat and selecting Run as administrator."
I must be missing something obvious but there is no Bootleg.bat when I unzip the installer. Running Bootleg.exe as Administrator (from folder or command prompt) only brings up a command prompt splash screen then sends me back to the root folder.

That was a typo. It's Bootleg.exe.
You have to have a fresh Final Fantasy VII installed to the default location.
Alternate install paths is a feature still on my 'to do' list.
If you change the install path of FF7, it's not going to work.
Also, Bootleg.exe should be in the same folder with all the mod files.

Already on a fresh install into the default path for Win 7 and the Bootleg.exe is in with the mods.
Do the mod files need to be extracted or still zipped? (tried both)
Do I need to have all the programs (kimera, wallmarket, etc) installed/unzipped? If so, then where to?
Do all the mod files and Bootleg.exe need to be on the same drive/partition as the FF7 install?
Do I need to have the mods I don't want to install in the folder with the mods in it? EX: Do I need the V2 of the limit break mod if I only want V3?
In the readme the programs list includes ff7_1.02.zip and ff7_102.zip. I'm assuming these are redundant of the 1.02 patch folder but the one in your mod.html is named ff7102zx.zip do i need to change the name?

Keep the file names the same, straight from the downloads
ff7102zx.zip is all you need for the 1.02 patch
you do not unzip / unrar the files
It should look like this

At least one of the patch zips is required for Bootleg.exe to run. Any of these files will work:ff7_1.02.zip, ff7_102.zip or ff7102zx.zip.
Bootleg.exe will attempt to continue running if it can't find a mod file, but there might be anomalies.
There is a warning message if something isn't found.
The Bootleg installer isn't really designed to pick and choose... it's more of a complete experience.

Figured it out, all the files need to be on the same drive/partition as the game install. Thanks for the help guys.

I found a couple of small flaws with Bloodshot's Hi Quality Bike model; a merchant has a piece of Cloud for an arm. There's an issue with young the Aerith model losing a texture when HQ Aerith is installed. So far, the glitches are only cosmetic. I'll have things fixed in the next version.
I'm also working the PRP into the mix. There are quite a few more field and world models to add.
With the addition of the PRP, nearly all of the field models are redone!
FF7Music is now at version 1.51.9, so I need to update it in the Bootleg.
I'm considering adding an option to install all the FF7 Tools as well.
Nickblames,
Awesome! Now you can help test this thing out too . . .
If anyone find some other tidbit to cram in, please let me know!
Anyone know how 'anycd' works and whether it's worth including?
What about the Sephiroth mod?

Why does the Remix have such a bad reputation? It does much more than just add the PRP models. Besides, it's not a simple task to properly extract and install the PRP models. Everything is lumped together! Sure, renaming the PRP lgp's might appear to work, but that's just sloppy. Who wants all those extra files floating around in there!
I've sorted through the PRP installer and have a working list of models not already in the Remix. The new Bootleg is nearly ready for release.
Removing the Remix from the list of essential mods is still not feasible. The Remix is outdated and breaks some stuff, but it does a great job of installing essentials like the PRP. Plus, the Remix includes many small fixes and tweaks not available anywhere else. Not using the Remix would require that I redo everything it already does so well.
On a side note, what's your favorite Cloud model for field or battle?

I think your average modder just wants a 'Download - Install - Play' solution and having to deal with all the extra stuff just piles on too much. Luckily for us you came along and took most of the guesswork out of it.
Also, if you don't want extra files floating around you might want to contact Magochocobo and find out definitively if you need both the .png's and the .lgp's. From everything I've read it seams like the .lgp's are no longer necessary.
APZ Freak still has the best around but unfortunately he hasn't finished the new cannon Cloud just yet so I think whatever version is in the Remix is the best we've got.
Good work and thanks again for putting all this together.
PS - What settings do you personally prefer when installing this?

Okay, I've updated the link with Bootleg 0001 Beta.
Check the first page.
I tweaked a few things: added extra PRP models, updated FF7Music installer, fixed Bloodshot's HQMB, fixed HQ Aerith, corrected Avalanche install order, better integrated Hardcore Mod with Aeris Revival, added alternate menu backgrounds and more.
I'm still working on completely combining Aeris Revival with the Hardcore Mod. There are 28 scene files in flevel.lgp that overlap between these mods. Right now, the Hardcore Mod takes precedence when using both mods together. I haven't tested the impact this has on gameplay. There is no conflict when using Aeris Revival without the Hardcore Mod.
The settings I use most often for Bootleg 0001 Beta are:
bootleg /c0 /s0 /p2 /r0 /n1 /a1 /v1 /h1 /l5 /m1 /x1
The PRP installer is really crummy. If people have problems using the PRP installer, I'll move the few models into the bootleg itself.

I would use the Remix patcher but it changes the script of the AI and changes the stats/equipment the characters start with. For example, when using the Remix patcher, Barret starts with a Protect Vest.
