Hmm, I've tried a lot of different settings, but for some reason, after I've hit "run bootleg", I can't "Play FF7".

When I try to configure the setup, such as resolution, etc, I get this:

I think I've done everything correctly, and I've searched around, but not found any similar problems.
Running w7 64bit, bought the game from Square Enix, did the conversion and followed the guide exactly as it told me to do it.
Selected "full" from presets, didn't work.
Selected "pitbrat" and "minimal", neither of those worked either.

All ended up in the same problem, as above.

When I click Write CFG, I get this:

This is really odd. I'll poke PitBrat when he's on. Since you joined IRC I'll help you there for the most as I can.
 
Bam:

I have just finished the game, the 2012 version with bootleg. I found that running the conversion then bootleg doesn't work. What you need to is:

Delete all Final Fantasy 7 install data
Install the 2012 version
Rename ff7_en.exe to ff7.exe
Choose your desired bootleg configuration
Select the Any CD Loader from under the games tab
Run bootleg.

and it should all work. (I tried many different combination of mods and conversions and this is the only way that I could get the 2012 Version to work with bootleg, I was using the 0.40RC bootleg but it may still work with 0.39
 
Bam,
There was an error in Bootloader .0039 that could cause an error is certain values in ff7_opengl.cfg were absent of invalid.
The problem shouldn't occur with .040.

BigBoss,
I corrected most of the issues you identified.  The final version of .040 will properly convert the new to old and automatically enable the any cd loader.

Thanks for all the debugging!
I'll have RC2 up soon.  Hopefully a full release is soon to follow.
 
I just downloaded the 2012 version, installed it to c/games .  used the converter v3 changing the location to e my thumb stick and naming it "FF7DISC1" ran converter.  changed the ff7_opengl.cfg file to window_size_x = 1280, window_size_y = 720, preserve_aspect = no, fullscreen = no, mod_path = dk, use_shaders = no.   ran FF7config and changed rendered to custom driver which passed.   now before even attempting to use bootleg 39 I try to run game and i get the "please insert disc" issue.    I deploy in 2 weeks and really want this rdy for my deployemnt.  ANY help would be appreciated.  thanks
 
You need to adjust the registry entry for the data drive so that it points to the drive letter of the thumb stick named "FF7DISC1."

64 BIT

Hi,

I'm using Windows 7 x64, I've downloaded the Bootleg0039 and try opening BFE.exe but it just stopped working right away. But I can open it on another computer even without Final Fantasy VII installed.
 
Oh thanks Vgr, I didn't see that and thought only NET Framework is needed, I found something about Microsoft Visual at https://www.ff7catalog.com/posts/145167/, so I'm going to try that  :)

Update: Nope, after that it's still the same, I think my OS is messed up somehow, probably have to reformat the whole thing or wait to see if 0040 works :|

I had the same problem as you i stupidly force uninstalled .Net2 on my vista pc >.< took me months to fix it but also a simple reformat will do the trick and use windows update if you don't wanna fix it manually

Hahaha I hear you, I also did the same thing with the NET Framework, uninstall, install again, didn't know Windows 7 has build-in Framework 2.0-3.5, crack my head trying to install 3.5 SP1 which didn't do anything lol. And yes I guess formatting the whole thing will be the easiest thing to do now.
 
^ If you want you could try this tool i think it helped me:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=30135
It basically repairs them or choose to uninstall and then redwonload by windows update i think and it should be solved :D ... or you could still simply format again lol no harm in trying i guess

Thanks for the suggestion, I have tried it and it doesn't seem to help  :-[ Guess is time to refresh haha. I still enjoy FF7 as it is now though hah
 
I usually do a fresh install of my OS once a year. It's like cleaning my house. The process makes me :cry: but the results make me :-D
 
Lol paranoid huh? yeah i guess it just feels nice somehow when your fresh ;D i haven't fresh installed my vista for 4-5 years :o

Hahah yes I use to do that, is like spring cleaning, but now I only do it when there's problems like this one, installing stuff as a go along, but reinstalling all games, is a pain :D

Thanks Pit Brat...  im past that part now thanks to you...   Now new ?.   Does "ultraHD Fan made remake" by jinkazama2k7 work with bootleg?   or anyone know how to make it work?   the install for it will only work if game is installed to C:\Program Files\Final Fantasy VII   and if I intall there instead of C:\\Games\FF7 i cant get the disc error registry error to go away.   Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks again.
