I'm having lots of trouble getting him and I can't figure out why. I beat lost number, get the key, and go downstairs but the coffin won't open. I've tried both before AND after talking to Sephiroth and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I'm running FF7 V1.02 with the hi-res cloud patch and Saint's High Resolution patch. Has anyone else had this problem? Please, if you have, help me out. I even tried editing Vincent in with several savegame editors and he just shows up as Sephiroth.

I can't speak with him at all - the coffin just will not open. I've even tried with the original exe...

AFAIK, there is a flag in save-game for changing Spehiroth into Vincent (they occupy the same field). I believe it's the very first byte of character's record. There is an info about that in gears...
 
In that case, can you point me in the direction of the FF7 savegame format and a good hex editor?
 
Hmm...

<You can find it in gears>

Save file consists of a 0x09 byte header and 15 save-game slots. Each save-game is 0x10F4 bytes large, so first save-game is at 0x09, second at 0x10FD etc...

Vincent/Sephiroth record and first byte which determines who's record is it, can be found at 0x03F0 counting from the beginning of the save-game. So...
These addresses are: 0x03F9, 0x14ED, 0x25E1 etc...

If that byte is set to 0x0A then it's Sephiroth's, and if it's 0x07, then it's Vincent's record.

So basically (assuming that it's a first save-game in save-file):
You have to write a byte 0x07 at 0x03F9 (1017 decimal).

As for the Hex Editor... I use "Magic Trainer Creator" since that was the very first program which I used to change things (memory/raw files), but it doesn't have friendly interface...

Hmmm...
I tried doing what you said. I created a save file with only one save in it, right before the fight with lost number. Then I edited the value at dec. address 1017 from 0x0A to 0x07. However, every time I try to load that save, it says that the data is ruined and does not load it.

>_< I want Vincent  :x

Ah well, that doesnt seem to be working either. He still shows up as Sephiroth when I edit him in (because the coffin still doesn't open). I guess I'll have to play without Vincent then :(
