The original APP.LOG suggests that you needed to setup your sound driver in FF7Config.exe. It sounds like you tampered with something to get your FF7.exe to stop working, so that can't be offered help until we know what you did.
 
I decided to set everything to default in the bootloader, and it made the "FF7.exe has stopped working" error to disappear. After I made everything back to the default settings, I set it to the "HDR Shader" option. Now it's back to the original black screen loud beep thing. My sound driver I am using for the configuration is my turtle beach P11 headset. Don't know if that helps with the sound error.
 
FF7Confi.exe is in your game folder and can be launched from there.

I know where it's at. Sorry if I mislead. I went into the sound driver part of the configuration, and set it to my turtle beach. I am also using the custom driver as the guide says. But I am still getting a full black screen with a loud beep before it all crashes.
 
Wherever are your movies (eg [Gamedir]\movies), open the folder and double-click on one of the movies (eg eidoslogo.avi).

What MIDI driver you have set, does the test work?

FF7Music used the same driver? (FF7Music.exe -> Configure -> Playback Options)

Hiya. The turtle beach sound driver may indeed be an issue but I'm not sure. Did you hit test? right left center? Midi test runs? Try running the sound through standard speakers.
Turn the post processing completely off (that's those HDR shaders). It's not working correctly right now.
The "beep" is from GameConverter lol. Specifically it is DLPB's hext.dll which can be taken off if the beep bothers you. hext may be part of upcoming mods though. The beep is harmless.

I don't have an Nvidia card but are we sure about that driver version? I would actually like to put a current working driver version section for both manufacturers on the Bootleg40 FAQ repost. So if someone could let me know or point me to the appropriate post where someone is keeping track of that I'd be much obliged.
 
I tested it out the sound drivers that I could select, and my Asus VS238-1 Nvidia HD audio played the best, so I changed it to that. And it worked left, right, and center. My MIDI Driver is Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth (which is the only option I can choose.) And my MIDI Data is General MIDI. I tested them out, and they both work. Logarithmic Volume Control is checked too.
 
It was the first thing I downloaded and used. So I did run it before the bootleg.
 
Yah, that's why I like the beep. Let's you know you got all that stuff working. I really think you are good to go but maybe Nvidia driver version doesn't like aali's custom opengl. What driver version are you using, have you tried a different one? Please if you get it running with a different driver version can you let us know which one works for you?

I am using the most recent driver. The driver I am using is Geforce 320.49.
 
Yeah, I don't think that's going to work, Need to roll back, maybe. Didn't you get my PM where I suggest that? :wink:

I did get your pm haha. The forum won't let me send or reply to pm's though. What driver should I use then?
 
I would go back to the last of the 20series .29 if that's available or was an actual version. Then work your way through the 40s I guess, I'm really not sure on that, I don't have an Nvidia and I dunno how they do their versioning. I'm going off my memory of a post that was later edited. If it's giving you crap and you are about to throw the comp out the window try just turning shaders off. A lot of people don't like to recommend drivers because people tend to screw up their computers (inexplicably) while rolling back (need to uninstall current driver first, reboot, then install desired driver).

You can PM now that you have made 5 posts.
