Ok so I downloaded all the files and followed the instructions properly and everything installed fine as far as I know. Then I opened up the bootloader and went to config and changed settings to my liking and clicked "write CFG" close that and click play FF7 black window pops up and then says FF7.exe has stopped working. So I changed it from full screen to windowed, same thing. I looked at the FAQS and found the one where it says FF7.exe has stopped working and it told me to change my graphic settings if the self test message doesn't pop up. It pops up and it still won't launch. I'm running Windows 8 64-bit. I tried running in compatability mode for Windows 7 as my friend uses these mods on Windows 7. Tried launching it as admin. Always the same error so I have no idea what to do at this point. No idea what an AP log is but I went to a text file called AP in my Final Fantasy 7 steam directory and here it is copy and pasted.

Did you at FF7Config also the TAB 'sound' and 'MIDI' times clicked and set everything?

I went into sound and didn't change anything its defaulted to my sound output and when I click test the test sounds work fine. In MIDI I didn't change anything either MIDI is set to the only choice which is "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" For MIDI Data its set to "General MIDI" with 2 other choices "Soundfront MIDI (Creative AWE32/AWE64)" and "Yamaha XG MIDI" this is raelly frustrating because I so badly want to play this mod.

EDIT: I did the rename hard drive method instead of mounting it.

EDIT 2: I was just checking out the graphics tab in the config and on the side has a list called "Required 3D Features for Direct3D" and they all pass except for the last one which says fail and its called "8-bit Paletted Textures"

Your app.log ends abruptly with

sound initialized
Click to expand...
Behind it should be something like
set music volume: 127
Click to expand...
come.

Obviously FF7 or Aali's driver have problems, to set the volume.

Just try to update your sound driver, then adjust again in FF7Config everything.

This is normal.
'8-bit Paletted Textures' my knowledge is nowadays supported by none graphics card anymore.

Hmmmm I'm not really even sure what to update for sound, I currently have my PC connected to my TV, so I have a monitor cable with and hdmi cable hook up at the end and that's hooked up to my TV's LG sound system which is "LG-BDHT-0 (NVIDIA High Definition Audio)" So I'm not really sure what to update.

Well I thought I had it fixed and working great, but nope its giving me new problems now! Ok so I went back into the bootleg program and clicked on "Mod Listing" to make sure there was no red and there isn't, then I clicked "Run Bootleg" and let that install everything all over again. Once that was done I started up BootLoader and left all the config settings at default and click Play FF7 and it launched and went through the intro credits and got to the main menu where you can click start or continue, I clicked start and my screen went black and made an error noise so alt tabbed and there was an error box saying "Fail to load BVJF.yos" So I clicked ok and it told me to submit my APP LOG again. So here it is.

It looks as if your char.lgp is wrong or missing.
This is in the folder '[gamedir]\data\field'
You can try to find an intact version in the backup folders and copy them there.

I wouldn't even know where to begin to look for that? Any help please? I'm using the steam version of Final Fantasy 7 btw. Do I need to reinstall Final Fantasy 7 on steam or something? I'm totally lost here.
 
I have bootleg not installed at the moment, so I do not know exactly where you need to look for.
But you can make search for 'char.lgp' your whole hard drive.
 
Ok well I tried changing the base models in bootleg to no change and re ran the installer and got this error now "D:\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\BACKUP-dlpb\FF7.exe An error occurred while trying to read the source file: Access is denied. Click Retry to try again, Ignore to skip this file (no recommended), or Abort to cancel installation." I clicked retry which does nothing, so I clicked ignore and it continues installing Final Fantasy 7 Menu Overhaul and gives me more of the same Access denied error, click ignore again and get another error at the end saying "HextChanger 1.0 cannot open file "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\dlpb-mods\ff7.exe the system cannot find the file specified" So now I'm totally lost and getting very angry. Anyway I set it back to what I had before and now I'm still getting the same access denied error with that.
 
Rerun bootleg is not possible because bootleg does not reset the files to the origin.
You're probably going to uninstall the game, delete the registry and have to start over.


EDIT: Have you installed 'norton 360'?

Yeah I'm going to have to uninstall and start over again, bleh. I have AVG free installed but disabled it for the entirety of the install. Is there instructions to uninstall everything?
 
ok i have a question. say i want to change out the music mods, currently im using FinalFanTim OGG and id like to switch over to OCRemix or Anxious Heart DLPB. how would i do it. would i just remod over everything again or do i have to start fresh again and start it all over again? also same thing with the character mods, if i want to switch out to different mods to change how the char looks can i repatch over it or do i have to remod from a fresh install?
