Wow, I totally missed that post (probably because it didn't say anything about rollercoasters or snowboards). This looks like a huge list, but I'll go through it and see if any of these steps fix the problem. Thanks!

In the meantime, I was able to get past the minigame by going through the Black Chocobo save archive to find the location of the save point in the hut, then setting my location to it. I then had to enter one of the landing screens (I chose the one with the tree) in order to continue with the game. I'll probably wait until getting back to the Gold Saucer before I mess with the installation again, since it'll be easy to test there.

EDIT: The issue turned out to be that certain minigame files weren't copied over in the installation (or were deleted by a patch), so some of them were just not there (like snowboard.lgp). Still, the tutorial was a ton of help for installing the Aeris patch... there's no way I could have installed it otherwise!

Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
So can I use Bootleg in addition to this, or do I start fresh and never use the Remix?

(Sorry if I seem noobish, I'm just trying to follow the stickied thread, which recommended the Remix, and said nothing about the bootleg)

Bootleg is a simple configurator that makes it easy to enjoy all of the mods produced by hard working community members.
Bootleg installs the Remix and a lot of real mods and applies some necessary fixes.
The Remix contains many damaged files and outdated mods; it is quite broken in places.
Adding mods to the Remix creates even more problems.
Through trial and error and much community support, I've identified and corrected many of these incompatibilities.
 
Hello and thank you so much titeguy3 and respective modders! This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for when I sought out mods for the game.

On to my question. Is it possible for me to use some of my own OCremix mp3s in the FF7music program? Mainly I want to use the song "Nomura Limit" in place of "Fight On" or "chu". Anyhow I am sure you answered this and I did read like 20 pages of the forum before posting but I felt that spending hours reading a forum defeated the purpose of your installer so I figured I would post.

Win7 32bit if that matters.

Thank you!
 
It is absolutely possible to swap out songs in FF7Music. If you don't want to change too many settings (trust me, you don't, ff7music can be a beast), it's as simple as putting the mp3 somewhere that ff7music can see it (for example, in the same folder as other songs it's already using), opening ff7music, and choosing the new file for that one song.

I'm not too familiar with Remix, but does it have a shortcut that launches ff7music and ff7 together? If so, you will probably need to launch ff7music on its own separately to do this.
 
It launches FF7music and you launch FF7 from there. It seemed that it would be that simple but when I added the track and went to launch my game it gave me no music at all, anywhere :/ So i just tried going back to the preset soundtrack and... NOTHING :( psf not workin, mp3s not workin. I had to back up my saves and do a complete reinstall of everything. Now I am afraid to touch anything again.

Thanks for the reply! Any other insight is much appreciated!
 
You can also use Notepad to open the file 'FF7MUSIC.ini' found in the ficedula folder.
Add the filename of the song on the appropriate line under the [Custom] heading.
Then copy the song file into the ficedule\mp3 folder.
 
I have got the song working! It was basically a combination of what both of you said to do and what I had already done!

New problem however : The frakking motorcycle minigame (and most likely the others once they become unlocked) is way to fast. I have done research on it as I am not a total noob but alas no fixes are working and I believe it is  because of the remix installer package. Any of the quick fixes out there are incompatible I'm guessing cuz they broke the game leading to reinstallation. I got it to limit the frames for about half of the minigame once after ensuring that vsync is forced on and messing around with the displays Hz. During the 70Hz is when it worked for half the game. 60, 72, and 75 all just seem to run at 1000fps lol. the game finishes in about 30-45 seconds.

Once again any help is much appreciated.
 
OK, so I have Remix installed and haven't had any major problems (knocks on wood).  My only issue that I have is that I can't install Aali's 0.7.11 driver over the Remix install.  It has a version pre 0.7.8 because there is no 9999 limit break option along with a couple others.  I have tried copying the missing parts from .11 into my version from remix and get an error message that it can't be parsed.  I'm honestly fine with Remix, but the main thing I want is the 9999 break.  I may have missed reading something on how to get it activated.  I ran the hardcore mode and it is installed in that mode, but don't feel like playing hardcore... yet (just found this in my drawer after a long time of not playing).  I like the mods, and everyone that has made them deserves a shiny gold star! 

Any idea how to get the .11 integrated with Remix?

No.  That is way too much work to do.  I appreciate what he did to get it to go together, but that's too much downloading and extra work for me.  That's why I chose Remix.  1 file, 1 install.  I can still just play it on my XP and use .11 with only the Avalanche stuff and be fine, I don't really need all these mods, I just thought it would be cool to try it out this way and maybe I may have gotten a little too carried away. 

To think that my modding search took me this far just because I was looking for a patch for the Chocobo races...

And the alternative is doing a few hours of work to maybe get Bootleg to install correctly.  No thanks, I don't need mods that bad.  If there is no fix, then fine I can deal with no 9999 break.  I would appreciate it if people would only comment on trying to help with this, rather than bashing Remix or recommending Bootleg, thanks.
 
Remix is not only way outdated from the early 90's, it is also really buggy AND a VERY BAD CHOICE for everyone.

Except Bootleg consistently DOES work correctly, and Remix consistently DOESN'T. If you don't want people bashing Remix, then don't ask for help with it, because it really is broken to the point that the only real solution to any problem you're likely to run into is to skip it entirely and use an alternative.
 
Regardless of what you people are saying, the 9999 is the only issue I have with Remix, so to me it works fine.  It's not a matter of me not wanting people to bash Remix, it's about people trolling and not bothering to help.  I have seen most people on here being helpful with other issues, but when I have a question there is no help or even a "sorry, but that's not compatible," or whatever. 

I would rather not have to sit and download 50+ files that are MANDATORY for the installer to work correctly.  I don't have tons of free time to wait and download that many files and hope I didn't miss one along the way.  The game was awesome when it came out, adding a few like Avalanche, Aali, and PRP are fine with me.  Even the basic MIDI's are fine.  To each his own I guess.
 
I certainly wish that Bootleg were contained in 1 file.
It would make the project much easier to maintain.
It's extremely difficult to code for all the various mod archives.
Unfortunately, many mod authors do not want us to so easily enjoy their work.
