I have the Nvidia geforce fx5700
i tried all of the parametrers described in the post (in the greatest ff7 faq too) but nothing of these works in my nvidia card..
are there any solution for me?
thanks
 
I've got GF 7300GT, is there possibility to fix those black boxes in FF8 in D3D mode?
 
I've looked around an awful lot to see how people are progressing with fixing this... and that's just the problem. It seems all people are doing is querying how the search is coming along and nobody is even working on a fix for it. I see only 2 options... either a huge mass spam email attack to the developer (MUAHAHA! :evil:) or a very good coder comes along and does what FF7 had done to it and somehow edit the executable. Is there not anyone on these forums who is talented enough to do something like this, maybe reverse engineering or something like that? ^^

You have to relise that not enough is known about the pc ver of ff8 to do that yet. It took years to get to were they are now to do this shit in ff7 so you need to eather learn how to do it yourself or quite bitching.

ps: since ff8 is not as popular as 7 it will take a lot longer :(
 
I wasn't bitching I was simply making a point...

Just to stop all the pointless posts asking if there is a fix.
 
Too bad the emulation of FF8 isn't perfect, along with the graphics engine. Artifacts occur quite a bit, as depicted in the picture below:

Ok! Just re-installed FFVIII and I'm looking for tips on how to mod it I see from the post before mine that it's possible to have Squall and Selphie wear their SeeD Exam uniforms which I always preferred so any tips hints?
 
I've got a problem even when I am running Final fantasy 8 on software renderer, during boss fights there will be 2 lines on top and bottom of my screens keep on flashing... anybody get this prob? my graphic card is Nvidia 6600 LE agp slot
 
To sumarize it in one sentence:
How do i solve the black boxes issue??

My video card is a Geforce FX5200...
 
The only known solutions for the black box problem are...
 - For GeForce FX 5xxx cards, using older drivers may help (5x.xx or 6x.xx range).  Newer cards are out of luck.
 - On any graphics card, you can switch to software rendering in FF8config to use your CPU for drawing the graphics rather than your graphics card, and this will solve the problem.
 
nevermind, i solved the problem.
if anyone needs help with the blac boxes just contact me at my email and i can possibly help you
 
Yes... because who on Earth would make a post in a *gasp* public forum about such a thing? That might even help people! Unheard of!

But nevermind, you are just searching for working email addys so you could sell them to spammers. Because that is the only logical explanation for your behaviour.
 
god
i'm just trying to help someone in need. by the way you should have done the same when i posted here asking for help. asshole
 
What he's getting at is, if you have a solution, you should post it rather than ask people to contact you for it.
 
here's a question. how much work would it take to convert the FFVII high-res patch, to one that will work for FFVIII?

i was under the assumption that square used pretty much the same basis for both games, the same structure (in terms of, field leading to everything else), they even use similar filetypes right? (don't have either installed to check right now).

i want to reinstall FFVIII, as i've just been asked to model some of the FFVIII characters for a diorama scene, but there are very few decent references available. taking screenshots in as high a resolution as possible would be a huge plus.

I know The SaiNT spent a lot of time making small changes to FF7 to get just about everything to look right and be positioned correctly in FF7 high-res.  It wouldn't be a simple "port."
 
well that's fair enough. i can appreciate the work he put in.

i guess, really, i was just curious as to why so many things haven't even been attempted for FVIII yet.

maybe that's the game was properly developed for pc this time, unlike ff7.

even though it still has its own set of minor and irritating bugs.
 
hi... Ive read the whole thread and I'm wondering if switching to software renderer is the only way cause Ive tried it once before but it slowed my game massively... please advise
