Dude, fantastic job. Everything looks great. I only have one issue and that's menu lag. Main menu and after battle EXP lag. Even a little during battle too. I also had this issue with TA menu overhaul so I don't really know what it is that's causing the lag.
 
That's aalis driver.  When you have cache textures off (compress_textures = no) the game will lag as it first loads textures into memory.  For example when a character dies, it lags because it is loading the red font into memory.  A faster hard drive is the only way to cure that if cache is off.

I did mention this to aali and he did express some interest in pre loading the textures so that this didn't happen.

Hmm, well compress textures is set to on, so I guess I need a new HD? I thought for awhile it could be my resolution but I lowered it and it didn't help much. Guess i'll just have to deal. Thanks again for the amazing work man!

That's strange, but it should only lag ONCE.  Once those textures have been loaded all should be cool :)

Awesome work man, you probably need a break  ;D

You were right. Just tested it again and no lag. Now time to lose my self in pure epicness!
 
I want everyones opinion thats using this.

preserve_aspect = yes
or
preserve_aspect = no

Which do you like better.
 
You should preserve and if possible

960*720 window

1280*960 window or full.
 
Yeah, preserve is better. The windowed resolution works fine but I cant get that fullscreen. Ive got a native 1366x768 but it looks beautiful.
 
hmmmm that  IS a puzzle if true?  Sure support definitely changes when using the installer?
 
are you sure it worked fine beforehand?  Check the exe which is now in BACKUP-menumod
 
rar up your problem exe and send it to me.

edit:  ff7music works fine for me, but this may be because of some other mod conflicting? 

Send me your normal exe too.

I install Avalanche GUI v2.0.8 and it's include a patch name FF7 BarCorrectionPatch.exe. I see this patch will restranslate something in ff7.exe and you are an author, so can you explain shoud i apply this patch or not ?

This patch make the font in menu display incorrect so I know what I should do. Thx for your mod, let's complete it.  :)

Well done, Tested on my PC Version & works like a charm.
By the way, the reason i asked about PSX version is because I prefer to play it on my PS or PSP, other reason is because the PC version usually has a lot of bugs and crashes, and that is because it is not 100% supported on my Notebook not even with MS Virtual Machine or Oracle VMBox with Windows 98. Luckily I Have an old PC with Windows XP where I can run FF7 PC version. :)

I have already said twice, do NOT use Team avalanche mod with this (if you have just run this installer again).  The Menu Overhaul Installer comes with many of TA graphics regardless.

Meanwhile TA world maps have been added for next release, and FeliX is on the case with regards to optional colouring and shading and materia graphics (though I am guessing everyone will want to use em)
