something i have done for error is run the bootleg of the black window without the mods, could be that ?

THANKS in advance
sorry for my bad english
 
Did you follow each step of Tifa's Tutorial?

yes, i think ,  the only suspesious thing was that  i ran the bootleg (the one of the black screen) and  i didn't knew too well where to put the mods and it says  error  or something  like that, and  then it closes,  later i put the mods and ran the other bootleg (the one with the graphic interface where you pick what you want).  and   i  follow the  steps....     :cry:
 
You need to run the Graphical Interface to pick your settings, and hit "Run Bootleg" from there. It will launch the main Bootleg process from there on.

i did  that,  and  installed  every thing (take a lot of time)  then  i run it from the FF7 BootLoader (i have prove it with every graphical preset)   and  the  appears  the error window

Hello everyone

this is my first time posting here and I wanted to thank you for supporting my favorite game of all time up until now.

I have a problem with the Minigames running too fast. I have played about 60 hours in hardcore mode and I am enjoying it very much but the one part were you have to snowboard at the beginning of the 2nd CD has been frustrating me for 3 months. I know i can just get down and continue but i want to play the minigames later in the GS. I guess the problem should have been discussed before in this thread but unfortunately the search function is unavailable atm.


I have the Framelimiter for Minigames set to "On" with activated V-Sync.

Is there something else that I can try to make this work?

Thanks in advance

Ok, I still got another problem. This one is with the Countdown. Everytime there is Countdowntimer the digits are only partly visible(the upper 10-20% maybe) and I can only guess the number. It was extremely difficult inputing the keycode at the Shinra mansion. How can I fix it? Do i have to reinstall the mods? Which options do I check?

Edit: I got that fixed now by reinstalling completely but i can't Save anywhere now. I made sure i checked the Option in the bootleg.

Uh huh, so it's the save anywhere option that messes it up huh?
 
The game crashes when I go to the char menu, it was working fine until I restarted my computer.
 
I cant install; when I using Win7 the mod succesfully working but now I am using Win 8.1 64 bit but the mod not install.
The UAC is closed. Game location is E:/.../Steam/Steamapps/Final Fantasy VII

I tried everything that on cmd screen; but not working.

Edit: I renamed FINAL FANTASY VII to Final Fantasy 7 and its working.

Here it is, I put it in my last post but nobody was responding. The game is using my Intel card instead of my Nvidia for some reason.

Try to set the internal resolution to the same as your monitor (1600*900), see if that changes anything.
 
It still does it, it does it at the character menu and at the end of the first battle, so could it be something with the menus?
 
Yeah I reinstalled it and everything, this is really weird , it was working fine until I restarted my comp.
 
It's funny - you say in the OP that this wouldn't work with Integrated Graphics or GPU or whatever. I have a really crappy old computer I got for discount on Amazon for $200 three years ago but it ruins Bootleg just fine.

The funny part though was that I tried upgrading to 7th Heaven since some posts on here said Bootleg is out of date. 7H also seemed a lot simpler, even if it didn't have quite the number of options. Only it was 7H that proved  real laggy and impossible to run for me. Ah well.

I really like this, "outdated" or no. I first found this forum and FF7 mods back in...2008 I think and Bootleg is a godsend compared to those days. Then again, I'm sure many people on here remember even darker days. And of course I'm just a laymen who has problems simply installing stuff which is nothing compared to the people who can make these mods. Thank God for smart people.

So thank you everyone for making this.
