Well I don't know why I didn't try it before, but I reinstalled it again, except this time I didn't select the Menu Overhaul option. This seemed to work, as I finally got the the new game screen, and began playing. However, after the very first battle, it went to a black screen and the game crashed again. I'll try some different things again to see if I can get past that point, but at least there's progress.

Ok so as soon as I finish the battle, with Cloud swinging his Buster Sword, the game goes to a black screen, with the music continuing to play. If I don't press anything then it stays like this, as soon as I press a key it stops and a messages comes up saying ff7.exe has stopped working.

hey there guys i just followed all the instructions to get this to work but i am missing two files that are critical to the modding process,
ff7music_install_15112.exe and ff7_opengl-0.7.11b.zip.. is there a way to obtain these files other than the links provided because the dont work. lol ive been at this for a day or so now and i cant find those files anywhere else :(

ff7music_install_15112.exe went down along with all of Megaupload. I have reuploaded it to RapidShare, and it can be found here.
 
sweet thank you , now all i need to get is ff7_opengl-0.7.11b.zip :lol: you wouldnt happen to know of where i can get that file?
 
ive probably clicked on that link a hundred times today and it has yet to work for me :(
 
is there anyway anyone can just email that file to me , if so my email is [email protected]
i would very much appreciate it if someone could

edit:sorry for the double post and thank you for the file :)
edit edit: mkay so i got it running and everything but when i go into battles my bars are all messed up, is there a solution to this?

The broken models and music are do to the missing Remix installer:
    Final_Fantasy_VII_Remix_v2-5-1_Installer.exe

Here are alternate downloads.
If you download The Remix in parts, you'll need to extract the installer before Running Bootleg 0036.


Final_Fantasy_VII_Remix_v2-5-1_Installer.exe        Titeguy3        Compilation of enhancements             Qhimm TORRENT


Final_Fantasy_VII_Remix_v2-5-1_Installer.part1.rar  Titeguy3        Alternate for Remix in 4 Parts          Qhimm 1 2 3 4


Final_Fantasy_VII_Remix_v2-5-1_Installer.part01.rar Titeguy3        Alternate for Remix in 13 Parts         Qhimm 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 FILES


MOVIE.zip                                           Rumbah          New Opening and Mkup Movies             Qhimm FILE



FF7Music supports the original MIDI sountrack with the PSF option.  When running BFE, select the PSF MIDI option under Soundtrack.
Click to expand...
So, the install seemed to run smoothly save for one small mishap: MOVIE.zip, despite being present in the folder along with the bootleg frontend, etc, was for some reason not found by the program.  Is this going to be problematic?  Is there a way to effectively install the files manually without conflicting with the other movie mods?  Thanks.

Wow... fail timing on my part.  I hope there aren't too many more files to download.  :( 

EDIT:  By the way, when I try to run the game, I am now getting a "please insert disk" message that was not previously there.  Bah.  The universe seems to be in a particularly apprehensive mood today.  x.x

wow that is a lot!

By "fixed stall at deglitching" you guys mean it's no longer necessary to uncheck "remove glitched" in the BFE?
 
Good stuff indeed. Big thanks to both of you guys for continuing
This awesome project.
Shoot, thanks to everybody who contributes these mods!
I'm enjoying ff7 like never before!
 
Wish I could say the same... <.< 

Ah well, I am going to give a fresh installation a go and see how that turns out.  Thanks for the mods and the help guys! Once I get it working, I know it will be worth the effort.  :)

EDIT:  No such luck.  Still "Insert CD" error.  Sigh.

Antisanta,
First, try to alter the CD-Rom drive using Bootloader-- start by double clicking the rainbow comet on the desktop.
Click CONFIGURE and then make sure the CD-Rom drive letter matches the drive that contains the game CD-Rom.
Click WRITE CFG.
Now try to start the game.

If you still get the CD-Rom error, try installing Any CD Loader.
When you run BFE, make sure 'Any CD Loader' is checked.
 
a simple enquiry, I realize the answers are somewhere in this thread, but to be fair it is close to 30 pages long, and I am one lazy bas***d so...
1. I've got to download all the mods that are coloured red from the list right?
2. I've got to put all those mods in the same folder (along with bootleg and BFE)
3. Install ff7 in maximum
4. run BFE and inturn bootleg
and thats it? the game should run fine then?

also should I leave the downloaded mods zipped up?

cheers
 
ok ive got it working and everything but im not getting any battle music and my battle menu is messed up, is there any fix to this??

Edit: okay i got the menu fixed but i really dont know what to do about the music, its not playing at all??
