may need to get newer release of ff7music. After bootleg finishes, reinstall ff7music on top, then u should be able to get into the config and get options.
 
When everyone here talks about reinstalling to try and fix things, are you deleting the FF7 folder after you uninstall the game and before you start a new install? That folder will still have all the mod files in it, so installing back to it may cause issues.
 
It also helps to delete your registry entries in between installs just incase. To do that open regedit and go to hkey_local_machine/software/wow6432node/ and delete squaresoft, inc. for x64 users. I don't know where it is for 32 bit.
 
I run CCleaner, and it does a good job cleaning up the registry entries. I swear, Bootleg is the reason I started using it lol Sooo many reinstalls when I was testing before every release.
 
What's weird is when I write to a CD or DVD I have no problems getting it to start up.  I found my DVD case with blank ones so just burned the ISO on it and changed the registry and used the FF7_CD and then launched the game and it runs just fine except maybe some missing sounds here and there.  The mounting thing I don't know what's wrong with it and why it won't work.
 
All right... I'm quite embarrassed to have to be asking this question, because I'm pretty sure it's something really stupid and simple that I've missed.

I have a legitimate 2012 re-release, fresh-installed, bootleg040, and and "Tifa's Package"; running Windows 7 64-bit, firewalls and anti-virus are off, and, ostensibly, running bfe and bootleg.exe as an administrator. There is no red on the Mod List, and I should be good to go.

However, when I try to run bootleg, it tells me that bootleg.exe is not running as an administrator, which it most definitely is. My installation tab matches the tutorial exactly, bootleg.exe is ABSOLUTELY in "run as administrator" mode, so I don't know what the problem is.

Code: [Select]
Code: 
Final Fantasy VII 2012 ReRelease Installation Located:"C:/Games/FF7/"Access Denied! Installation Aborted!!Run Bootleg.exe with Administrator Privilidges.Right Click on Bootleg.exe and in the context menu:
etc, etc

I have to laugh at myself, because it totally looks like I'm just not running as admin, but I promise that I am.
 
Alrighty, excellent, that seemed to do the trick. Bootleg is now installing everything. Apologies for not finding that when I searched earlier. I am glad to see that it was something more than me just being a dope.

Thank you for the prompt response. It seems to have installed correctly.
 
Hello , thanks a lot for the videoguide... i already downloaded and installed the game but i got a problem ... after install and start the game using the ff7bootloader the game dont answer me  freeze it here: http://sadpanda.us/images/1542378-6HRNFUT.jpg

Do i need to configure the commands or something because im pressing all the keyboard buttons and dont work ... can you explain me please. I really wanna play the game with the awesome mods.
 
By default, the game uses number pad controls. Use numpad 8 and numpad 2 to go up and down and numpad enter to select.
 
Thanks for the answer. Got another questions.
1- Its possible configure the command for atack, cancel, etc? Its weird play with numpads.
2- The game is running the background music is running too , but the sound effects ( atack, magic, menu) dont work ... someone can help me?

Pause and go to config. Then you can choose your keybinds or map your controller. If you use a controller you can't bind the d-pad or triggers. Also when you start the game the first button you press must be on the controller or the controller won't be used as input.
 
Perfect thanks for answer me again ....now i need to fix the sound effect by example at the battle when i hit a monster i cant hear (the sword sound, limit sound, magic sound, etc)
Do i need to configure it? can u explain me and show me how i should do it? thanks alot

Do you have selected in ff7config.exe  the right sound card? Sometimes if I played on TV over HDMI I forgot it myself.
 
hi im experiencing difficulty downloading the mod in the link on this site i click file bootleg040 it takes me to a page that says download i click download it says " Sorry! this file is to big for our servers to scan for viruses, would you like to download the file anyways?" i click yes and it starts to download, it gets to 30 percent and resets to 0, it does this about 5 times then says the file is corrupt and cannot be opened. i have no firewall on my internet or computer, and ive tried using different internet browsers to, but it still wont download the file. im currently trying to find another website with it because ive seen pictures of your work and i really want some of these mods, but im having very little luck so far. EDIT*UPDATE* wait wait i found a way around it i just had to click "resume download" after it says files were corrupt, it then continues from 30% im guessing ill have to do it 2 more times and theres a chance it might mess with the download but im very excited i hope this worksEDIT*UPDATE* nope didnt work lol still stuck please help *EDIT*UPDATE*

OK! I GOT IT LOL had to try 2 new web browsers but i finaly got it, its some new problem with google interacting with other web browsers, if the file is saved on a google server or i dont know how it works but use firefox and the problem goes away

ah i finaly got around it, just had to use firefox, but i have a new question if i may.
i know it says that i must have all the files in red for bootleg to work. but thats about...all of them lol. and i dont want updated cut scenes or, mini games and whatnot i just wanted the updated graphics for characters and field (maybe not even field) and maybe a difficulty mod, some music maybe, i see alot of files that are very big and i dont really want them but they are colored in red. i was wondering if theres an updated list or guide maybe on the ones i could skip by not checking certain options or maybe installing them myself

EDIT*UPDATE* eh i did it anyways but im having trouble with the eidos logo avi and the fmvres.exe part 7 of 7.

i have the eidos logo fmv in the right folder and all (to my knowledge) but it still shows in red. and the fmvres.exe i cant find at all. i know theres a torrent that has all the mods but that one is the only one i dont have, can it be skipped? uhg wait make that 2 files i dont have yarlson feild update....i shoulda just done the torrrrennnt lol whyyyy

The BFE mod list is a bit unorganized, so try not to stress too much. Use this list to find everything you need: https://www.ff7catalog.com/posts/170858/

FMVRes.exe IS part 7. It's labeled differently than parts 1-6, so I understand the confusion.

Yarlson file can be found in the Field Textures section. It has a working mirrored link.

I'm not sure why your eidoslogo.avi is still red. Recheck for it in your Mods Source folder that you set in the Installation tab. There is no other reason why it would be red other than a misplacement.
