I would just like to say hello to all of you, I just joined, but I've been to the download site many, many times, I actually think I came on here for the first time about two years ago... but anyways, I hope to be a valued forum member, and again, hello to everyone. :)
 
Welcome to the forums  :)

Just live by with the rules of the forums (Located in the FAQ section) and you should do fine.
 
I haven't had FFVII on my PC in over a year, today I just pulled it out, brushed off the dust (Still have the original box & paper cd jacket thingy) and installed them, before I was using WinME, now I have WinXP Pro, and I haven't even played it yet, or tried to start it, because I have a question, is there ANY possible way that my WinXP might just MAYBE run it fine?  Or is it completely impossible for that to happen?  Because I have the chocobo patch sitting on my desktop, and I'm pondering whether or not to install it.

BTW: The only reason I reinstalled it is because I read some of the old posts on the site and it made me realize that I really missed playing FFVII. So thank you for getting me reinspired! :) (EDIT: I also have FFVIII, but I don't think I'll ever install it again :\)
 
Of course it will run fine! You just might have to do a TON of messing around to do it. The chocobo patch will help. Also, if you use soundfonts, you may want to take interest in using a winxp soundfont patch. I've developed a patch that fixes the songs for soundfont use in windows xp. Windows XP doesn't allow auto-loading of soundfonts (for some stupid reason), so one soundfont which revolves around making all the songs sound good is the way to go. It sounds completely fine. PM me if you're interested, or have soundfont support for that matter...
 
Keep in mind I still haven't played it yet on WinXP, my question now is, why wouldn't right clicking the .EXE file and clicking Compatability and then clicking run on Win98/ME work?
 
That's just the way it is. In fact, the compatability mode pretty much does nothing. At least for FF7..
 
Compatibility mode is way less useful than you'd think.  Anyway, FF7 has always worked fine under my Windows XP installation (besides the Chocobo problem).  Just a matter of luck, I guess, as to whether it works or not.
 
Hmm, last time I ran ff7 on this pc I needed to use compatability mode win95 for it to work. I kept getting an error without it. (winxp home)
 
Okay, it works fine and all, the only problem is that the Chocobo Patch changes the memory locations, and now I can't use any trainers, and I can only use one Save Game Editor (Which is not Jenova =( ).  If any of you know of a good trainer, not SGE, but trainer, that would work with FFVII PC w/ Chocobo patch, please tell me. :D  ( Note: I have beaten FF7 several times without any trainers, and I just use them for fun, not to ruin the game.)
 
Well maybe you should have thought about THAT before using the chocobo patch. Just don't run the game with it on if you want to....cheat.

Hey, I didn't mean to piss you off man, I didn't mean to upset anyone.  And besides,  beat the game the first 5-6 times without any cheats, what says after I beat it I can't have a little fun with it?  Anyways, sorry for pissing you off man.
 
Welcome to Qhimm's Hell. Enjoy your stay, newbie scum.


BWAHAAHAA! ANOTHER SOUL IS OURS!!
 
Did I sound like I was pissed off? I'm sorry for making it seem like that. I was actually looking for a more sarcastic cheerful tone.
 
Ya fox, dont take it the wrong way. Its just Ruby's way of saying he loves you  :lol:
 
Sometimes i thought Rubicant was pissed at me or other people.. sometimes he just comes off that way.. but i think hes just like a big hippy full of love and hugging flowers.. LoL well maybe not.. but unfortunately you cant always convey the emotion your voice carries.. like my hippy statement there.. heavy sarcasm implied on that but you wouldnt know if i didnt tell you.. well.. ok those familiar with the board would know.. but you probably catch my drift..
