I worked with JWP to solve this issue for user Giud, and eventually we got there.  FF8 is a NIGHTMARE to debug.  The optimizer being on without stack frames is only the start.  This may be useful to those with epilepsy.  Use HextEdit (or other hex editor) with the following:

Code: [Select]
Code: 
FF8_EN.exe{For certain flashes like critical attacks{1067BC = 90:5{Disable all battle flashes1712C0 = C3
When using HextLaunch (memory addresses), it is

Code: [Select]
Code: 
{For certain flashes like critical attacks{5067BC = 90:5{Disable all battle flashes5712C0 = C3
If you only want specific critical flashes to be disabled, move the curly bracket { over the second entry and remove it from the first.

This is for the English Steam version.  Other versions will need new addresses.
 
Great work!!!

Looking forward to more FF8 mods from you in Hext!
 
Download HextTools 3.0 from tools.  It comes with full help file.
 
Hey do you know how to disable flashes on international versions of Steam? I'm from Italy and I would really like to do it.

It's a hack for international version. You probably want a patch for FF8_IT.exe

Soooo... what do I do? (sorry, I'm not good at these things)
 
Wait a bit. DLPB will surely port it over to Italian. I'm also free tomorrow so if I don't forget I'll write you updated addresses.
 
no no i'm too busy!  haha but it should be easy to find the offsets
 
Here you are!

0050638C
00571870

Therefore:
Code: [Select]
Code: 
{For certain flashes like critical attacks{50638C = 90:5{Disable all battle flashes571870 = C3
For EXE patching just change first 5 to 1
