everytime when i wanna start the snowboard scene it crash. does ne1 have the patch for windows xp or anything? anyone can help?
 
Wiping off the disc made it work for me (used to crash)...
 
This crash is similar to the ChocoboCrash. It's caused by accessing memory which isn't available for the process to read. The main difference is: It's random if it crashes or not, since the pointer which causes crashing is calculated in real-time and it can be valid (if you're lucky :P). Although it's possible to get this crash in every single mode (quarter/fullscreen, software/hardware) it's also possible to never encounter this crash. If you're using Win98, you're free to go. If you're using NT-based system, better cross your fingers.

If a software is written, it's supossed to be running the same (if possible) on every supported OS. If you leave the bugs in code just because it doesn't crash (Win98 rocks :)) don't blame OS producer for handling the errors which weren't handled in earlier versions. I know that NT based systems aren't officialy supported by FF7, but if the code was written correctly, it would work flawlessly on those.

I just noticed something when copying files from the CDs to my HDD, that there were several files that I couldn't read, one beeing snowboard-us.lpg.. might this have been the problem?
I'm gonna see if I can read snowboard-us.lpg from another CD, and report if it fix the problem.
