I'm running Vista, which requires me to give authorization/access for just about everything.  Is that why I can get it to work?
 
Yup. It needs privileges to write and execute files (with write/execute privileges).
 
What files exactly do your patches modify?  Rather than trying to screw with Vista and figure out how to hack into all the stuff I know will only destroy my computer, I was going to simply copy the files onto a flash drive and try to apply the patches on my laptop (which runs XP).  Is it possible to just modify one or two files or should I completely copy the Final Fantasy VII folder, apply patches, then return the files to my main computer?  Is this even a feasible option?
 
The only thing you need, besides the patcher and the patches, is ff7.exe. Sure you can patch it on other machine and copy back the modified version.
 
I have the same problem rock had. How do I make vista give it privileges or whatever?

Click to expand...
You right click the file, select "Run as..." and select admin account.
 
This is going to sound stupid, but I get a message that says

Missing file:  FF7.exe

Now obviously there is an FF7.exe in my folder... any idea whats up with this?
 
If you have patched the game to 1.02, you might have to copy that exe to desktop and use it, as when I patched it, I had to do that, cos for some reason it wouldn't recognise my old exe on the desktop, it was still seeing it as 1.01 I suppose :-(
Stupid how this game is so ocmplicated to work on a pc, yet worth every second when it does :-D
 
Thanks for the reply but I'm confused.  Are you saying it has to be patched to the 1.01 version or the 1.02 version?  Also I think the only exe I have is the 1.02 as its already been patched... so if 1.02 is the one I need then its got to be something else.
 
You have an exe in you're ff7 program file right?
If so, copy that one to desktop, if you don't have one in there either, you could always download an exe from gameburnworld or something.
If you're already patched to 1.02 though, just check your program file folder to see if there's an exe in there first.
 
Can't find ff7.exe? Try changing the name to lowercase, ensure that the program runs with privileges to read/write in current directory (mostly for Vista) and delete backup_ff7.exe if you find one.
 
9999LB patch updated. Thanks go to Salk for a bug report. Download link hasn't changed.
 
Hi.
I used your tool and it worked... so it seemed till to when I wanted to open the menu or the savepoint or the PHS after the fireplace sequence. What could the problem be or how could i fix it.
 
First, I'd try the unpatched version, and then apply them one by one to determine which patch is causing the crash.
 
reinstaled the game and only installed the 1.02 patch on it and still the problem remains. Ican now open the menu but as soon as i start to change into a sub folder (for instance during the saving prosedure, the game crashes. But this only happens in cosmo canion right fter i use the gypt from the link at the front of this forum section.
 
Well, it says in the readme to save & exit as soon as possible after using gypt. Not that I see any reason to use it more than once and causing the game to crash (most likely due to Alt-Tabbing out of the game).
 
can't exit without saving and can't save due to the crash that occures when I enter the savepoint menu
 
dziugo,

I believe I have incurred in one more bug with the 9999LB modification: if you try casting a restorative spell (ex. Cure) on a character with more than 9999 Hit Points, you will see that the HP number graphic is seriously corrupted.

The problem is somehow similar to the one reported before. This time though instead of displaying the limit number, it just displays corrupted graphic.

Thought you'd want to know...
