Other System Requirements:
A dedicated GPU with at least 512MB of RAM. Integrated Graphics will NOT work.

Where did you get 512MB VRAM?
Much is from 2D images which do not need a lot of memory (1280 x 960 x 32bpp eg 5MB).
The characters need something more, but so much?
Or I'm somewhere a mistake in the calculation?
 
512 does seem a bit much, you could probably play morrowind with half a gig.

Following what PitBrat says.
 
I fight vs an uncredible type of problem since 2 days, many fresh-reinstalls of ff7 and bootleg, who always ran perfectly before, re-installed fresh latest radeon drivers( I run on a hd6970 ), nothin' to do :

When I launch ff7, when I press the action button( equivalent to OK, or the circle on ps1 pad ), I can see this fantastic screen, blocking the game( half diagonal band black / red ) :


It's not possible to come at the principal menu, nor loading the game.
Someone had this issue yet ?

Edit : No crash in app.log, clean file. But game blocked with this screen

Thank Kompass.
But I was on 13.5 beta, same thing. I tried the older 13.4, same thing too, as related on that post.
When it worked, I was on an out to date 12.9, who ran perfectly.

Does I have to downgrade at 12.x ?
 
We don't know yet but you should use the thread he linked to troubleshoot this issue. This is a tutorial FAQ and specific issues with hardware/driver problems belong in the troubleshooting forum, in my not always so humble opinion.
 
Okay, so I installed the 13.5 beta from the link to that post and curiously, it works again.
With 13.5 beta downloaded directly from AMD servers, won't work. Strange, but now, it works fine.
Thanks to you !
 
Second question - is it possible to install individual mods using Booleg after the first round of installs has occurred?

I'm looking back and thinking I may want to experience the nightmare or hardcore mod. Not sure if I have to do a fresh install.

???
The link is from AMD's server (www2.ati.com). It would have to be the same file.
Perhaps the first run was only uninstall the old driver?

Bootleg is not designed to remove already installed Mod's back.
I would recommend to uninstall everything and reinstall again.
You can of course try later to install individual's Mod without using bootleg to see if that works, but I do not know.
 
Just a heads up, to benefit others you may want to change the tutorial and put the part about Aali's Custom Graphics Driver (more specifically tell them to download it first) before you go into the bootleg settings. It would save people, like myself, from having to stop everything after getting to the point of the graphics and sound. Having to exit out and install Aali's Driver and then have to click run and wait for it to get to the graphics driver tab all over again.
 
Bootleg automatically installs Aali's driver, you don't need to install it yourself.
 
Did Bootleg finish installing without Aali's driver for you? If so, this should be documented.
 
No the menu that popped up was Aali's. I just thought I had to see the actual name Aali's blah blah blah in the select list for graphics. Little did I know I was already using it.
 
Bootleg is a fully automated process that does everything for you (besides download the correct mods) so things like the update, the driver and game converting don't need to be performed manually.
 
Yeah its pretty good at that, seemed like a hot mess when i was reading how to do it but its kind of straight forward. Download the mods put them in a folder, download bootleg, run it, choose your mods, select the folders everything's in, check for red, and then run it and wait a year.
 
Step 9 tells how to enable Aali's Driver, and there is an image that shows the message for when it's enabled. I didn't explain that it will read "Custom Driver" when you enable it. Is this what confused you?
