nice mod much easyer on the eye with an lcd than 640. quick question though , would it be possible in the case of the 1280x1024 to move the extra black aspect bar to the top of the screen so it balances out better?
 
Umm, what is the ressolution of this patch? Can I turn it on 800x600?

God no... then people, like myself, would see even less of the game on screen. >_>

Yeah, you've probably gathered... but I would really appreciate some sort of solution for people stuck with widescreen ratio laptops... with a max res of 1280x800. Even some patch to put the battle menus up at the top would be nice... well preferable over running at 1280x1024 and having the bottom of the screen missing.
 
This has been asked so many times... The Sanit said that he should do way too much work to make any other resolutions available.

Nope.  Its something like 1280x960.  No other options (except the 1280 x 1280 w/ black bar).  or something like that.
 
Sorry, i don't want to spam but i want to make the text of my english version german.

I have both versions the german and the english.
I want to extract the german files and want to swap them with the english version.
Does anyone know where are the language files be and how I can extract them.

i would be happy if anyone could help me  :)
 
I installed the patch and it worked fine.

It's a nice little project, but I'm still really at a loss as to the purpose - I never had a problem with 640x480 3D res, my main issue was with the 320x240 resolution of the backgrounds. From reading other posts in the forum, I understand that it is no easy task to implement high-res / interpolated backgrounds, which is a shame, because that's what I really hoped this patch was for.

as it stands, the actual effect of the increased resolution is minimal, but still, nice work, it's good to see the fans at home keeping old games alive and even improving them.
 
Authorised, this patch has actually a very important impact for people with a TFT because 640x480 looks pretty bad (far worse than it looks on an old CRT).
Coracoideous, you should install the english version of the game and overwrite the FLEVEL.LGP with the one provided with the german version. That way you will have german text but the menus will still be in english (sorry but I don't know of any easy way of solving this)
 
ahhhh, yes it all makes perfect sense now. Still using CRT, hadn't thought about the old TFT native resolution issues.

Thanks for clearing that up, Borde :)
 
Heya!

I tried installing it but I got a check error and nothing was patched. I did it after updating FF7.exe to 1.2 and installing the chocobo fix so am I meant to do it before the chocobo fix? Sorry, I can't remember whether it is this or the minigame fix that had the chocobo race fix built-in!  :D

Thanks a lot.  :D
I will try it
 
There, after some effort, I've compiled an FAQ and merged it with the new topic.
 
Hi evrybody!

I've just subcribe to this wonderfull forum, and i'm French, so excuse me for my realy bad english :)

I have just reinstalled this enormous game, and i've decided to apply this patch. but there is a little problem.  

Wrong filesize or already patched
Nothing patched!
... Done

i have read this topic and i didn't find the solution. I have a original CD of FF7 (french version), and the patch 1.02f to make it work on windows XP and my radeon 9600 XT.

Do you have a solution to make it work ?
 
The problem is that you are using the French version of the game. This patch only works with the US 1.02 exacutable.
 
Good job with the FAQ Saint, it will save people reading the 20 odd pages of the original post to find their problem, but then again some people wont even read the FAQ! ^^  :P
 
Ultima Edition = Evil.  And incompatible with this.

You are incorrect about this. My friend has the Ultima Edition and he has this working.

From another thread:
the ULtIMA version has only two things wrong with it,
1) no CD - CRACK
2) Slightly altered dialog
Click to expand...
No-CD crack usually alters ff7.exe and it means that it will fail the CRC check which TheSaiNt's patch runs on that file. So it's not compatible with ULtIMA version of FF7.

Hmm. you are right, but how does my fried have the Ultima Edition with this patch installed?

Most likely, it's not a pure Ultima Edition. At least the ff7.exe has been replaced with the original 1.02 one.
