Thanks! but i dont see an option for Mount in bootloader? I just see "Main, System and Plugins." Also Not sure what I did but I do a full fresh re-install of ff7 and went through all the steps over again and I tried running bootleg again and still was close to same messages, maybe a little different? But i realized it wasnt giving me the Config popup tab to hit "Graphics" then "Sound" like part of the steps. So after that bootleg didnt go anywhere i opened the ff7config in my J:GAMES:ff7 folder where my games installed to and hit the graphics so it enables it, then selected the sound option. tried rerunning bootleg and it actually worked. It installed all the way through with no errors and I was all excisted until I tried to hit "Play FF7" from bootloader and it popped up like it was going to load and i got a "ff7.exe has stopped working...So i now cant even load the game! And btw you said to change my ff7_en.exe to ff7.exe I did that but there was already an existing file for ff7.exe so i now have (2) of them. If you have any idea what im doing wrong or what i should do id totally appreciated it. Either way thanks!
 
Mount is under the "Main" tab above the "Movie Path".

When you ran bootleg the second time did you use the Install Image you can create with bootleg?
 
Jreeds26,
If you're using the 2012 ReRelease and Bootleg .039 or earlier, then you must first run the Kranmer New to Old patch:

Kranmer's New to Old Patch for FF7 2012

Then rename ff7_en.exe to ff7.exe.

Finally, run Bootleg.

If you run my New to Old patch you do NOT need to rename FF7_en.exe to FF7.exe, the patch comes with FF7.exe 1.02 official patch, just make sure to run my patch before running bootleg.
 
Sorry a little computer dumb, thanks to my brother it actually worked the very first time but I reinstalled it trying to change some stuff and I'm sure I screwed something up. But to sum it up what I did was completely reinstalled ff7, I uninstalled ff7/ff7 music from control panel, I then reinstalled ff7, saved it to J:games/ff7 inst, then installed to J:games/FF7 ( not finally fantasy Vii),  chose custom, then downloaded kranmer converter, saved it to my desktop, double clicked it then installed to J:games/FF7, and what confuses me is it installs the ff7config and etc to games/FF7 but there's also the 2x files with 32/64 bit, I copied all 3 files, third being the ff7 pc new to old converter and pasted them into games/FF7 then changed the 32/64 to the same drive my brother made using dameon tools to add a ISo file. Which is drive E. but then doubled clicked each one and added to registry. And bootleg is ran as admin. But I heard some ppl say set all main files to run as admin too so I recently changed boot loader,ff7 config, ff7 etc to run as admin, should I only run JUST bootleg.exe as admin? Anyway I then open bfe and selected minimal preset with only changing clouds and Barrets field model, then I click mod list to see all mods ( I dl the entire pack from torrent) green and yellow, which is good. Note:: in the past I have ran bootleg at this point and it never gives me the step 9. Graphics tab, sound tab etc, that's when it fails trying to run bootleg, so recently before running bootleg I go into games/FF7/ff7 config, open it, click on graphics tab and it says "self-passed you are now ready to use custom driver see ff7_opengl.cfg for config", then I select sound tab and hit "ok" THEN I go into bootleg and run it and it installs correctly, it finishes as says I'm ready to play ff7, so I open boot loader and hit "play ff7" and black screen pops up and says "ff7.exe has stopped working" that's where Iam stuck. Ill try the mount thing you mentioned boss and as far as the image thing you were talking about with bootleg I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Thank you all for your time, I just want this fixed!
 
BigBoss:
No I didnt use a install image the second time. And im not sure if there was a install image the first time I did either. All i know is i followed bfe.readme and put the destination and mod source folder where it says to. but for install image it was just blank.. hmmmm
 
BigBoss: Hey, I really feel dumb for asking this but what do I do to do that? Do I need another program? Are you referring to the mounting of the iso to the flash drive?

He's referring to a feature in the next version of Bootleg that we're beta testing. He's unaware that feature doesn't exist in Bootleg 0039.
 
EQ2Alyza: Alright, is there anything I can do in the meantime that I can do to get it working before the beta comes out?

Hey so I got everything working right for the most part except for two things.
1.) In the tutorial above it mentions a music installer at the end of step 9. I never got that. I was able to finish off Bootleg without it popping up.
2.) Only problem I've received so far is that Cloud is not carrying a weapon in battle. And..well, to say the least it's really awkward to look at. .-.

Not sure what's happening. I have everything needed, but the model is just a tad bit messed up.
Using the APZ Cloud Remix battle model and Millenia sword set. Do they not work together? Haven't read this happening anywhere before. Unless I'm blind and just missed it. ;~;

Anyways, any help would be great. If I shouldn't be posting here please direct me to where I can post. Thank you.c:

EDIT:

Well. Now I've really screwed up. -.- I can't get anything working.
FFVII won't start, Bootleg Config works fine, but anytime it brings up the cmd, it replies with with not being able to find ff7.exe. Not sure what exactly it's looking for? Is it the .exe for the vanilla FFVII?

So. I'm completely lost here. Hands on help would be great here guys. If it's an inconvenience, I understand. But any help would be great.D:

I believe the next Bootleg is releasing within a week. You should wait for it as it fixes issues with the model packaging.
 
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
 
EQ2Alyza:
Do you know if the updated version will be put up on here when it comes out?
 
Yes, it definitely will be updated here. I just received the RC2 version for testing, so it's close!
 
Hopefully last ?'s.   Ok.. followed all instructions from tifa tutorial on bootleg.... and video from EQ2Alyza.   From the video i did not see the Fixed field stuf to extract...  was that already included in the torrent so was automaticly done?   second i followed the vid for AH audio install...  will get to issue in a sec.    set up loader exactly as tifa's pics  1920X1080 ...I did not check the box in bootleg for the 9999 so can i check it in the loader?    The game runs all opening vides and audio work.  Now apon starting to play on train station and in first battle there is no music... sound effects work but no audio.  Also i saved on the train platform as soon as game started... is there a way either with save edit or something to mod char stats?  ex if i wanted to raise his hp or str before first fight?   Any help would be appreciated.   Also if will make a lil easier .. please direct message me .. and maybe could yim or even phone call...  again im deploying fri would like all up and running smooth before i cant do anything about it.. lol.   Thanks again this has been awsome so far.
