Just as a heads up, i just found out that this patcher has issues with winXp's latest updates. If you want to apply all patches at the same time you need to set the install.bat file to win95 compatibility mode otherwise it gets a error when applying the mgp patch.

Can anyone else confirm this info?
Myself the patch seem to work well, even with latest Windows XP updates installed...
"HighwayAndSnowboardMinigamesFix - Patching done"

I haven't tested in-game results, though.
 
Ok i redownloaded the tifa patch and still didn't work, so i reinstall the whole game then reinstall the patch and got it installed, but when i installed the chocobo before the tifa i got errors and the game didn't work, so i rereinstall everything chocobo patch first then the tifa, now everything is working fine.
 
I'm having trouble.  The batch file runs fine, and all the patches get installed, however it seems to corrupt my ff7.exe!

The icon changes to that generic window-thing, and when I try to run it, the error 'ff7.exe is not a valid Win32 application' appears, and when I try to move/delete it, it claims 'it is in use by another program'.

Any help? I'm running Windows XP

I can apply the transparent and swirl patches, but the minigame patch "corrupts" the FF7.exe, so I can't apply it....curious if there is any suggestions

The error only occurs if you are trying to apply more than 4 of the patches at once. I started getting the problem after updating windowsxp via the auto update, but it might also occur in earlier versions too.

Try setting the .bat file to win95 compatibility mode.

The latest minimages patch includes swirl patch so if you use old swirl with new minigames the corruption is expectable. It's already there! Use only latest minigames and read carefully next time.
 
Thanks miracle.flame, you were right, I must apologize

It patched without fail, and the game is running very well now, shame I already passed the motorbike game without the patch, that was a pain
 
i hav e an idea for something to include in the YAMP..
save everywhere! (Maybe a little cheaty but... anyway...)
to use inside gypt would be even better!

Ok, send me your copy of FF7 and it's done :). I don't have FF7 anymore, so can't make any new patches/correct old ones.
 
I put the file with the txt extention in the folder and it still tells me missing config file, no patching today.. This is on the MGP, btw.

Silly me. When I extracted it, it all went to a "Patches" directory.

Still loving these. Thanks again, dziugo.

I'm curious: Why does the front page say Always Run has been discontinued? The only time it was a real problem was when Tifa is captured in Junon and you need her to get the key. I've completed it three times now with the patch installed. Not as easy, but still very doable. I can see no reason why this patch should be discontinued.

Now, for the reason I'm posting. There's a patch to control Cait Sith's slots. Any way of similarly controlling the battle square's slots? I'd like to be able to pick my handicaps to intentionally give me harsh one I can handle but avoid ones that my setup would find to be critical. I've tried watching the wheel and guessing. I've tried the tap SWITCH method of strobing it for a better idea. I can't seem to master either.

Kruci made a version of this patch which (AFAIK) runs without any problems, so I just linked to that thread.

I was going to make such a patch, but there was no need for it at the time. And now I can't do it. Sorry.

Second thought. There was a demo of FF7 which included only battle square, and that should be enough to mod it. I'll be a bit busy for the next 2 days, but after that... Can't promise anything, but I'll see what I can do.

I wasn't aware that yours had any problems. I know of the way it can "interfere" with things like doing power squats in the Wall Market gym and such. Each one is easily worked around.

I had read that you were without FF VII, but not how/why. Care to elaborate?

People had problems with it, so I decided to make it Kruci's problem :)

Short story short:
I "lent" it and forgot (probably not) or lost it when I was moving. I played it from ISOs, and lost those too when reformatting a while ago (I can make new images, so why bother?). Yeah...

hey there!

i am from germany so sorry for my bad english. Following problem: decompressed yamp and tifa limit mod into my final fantasy directory. Executing the install.bat and it works fine, but when i start the game with ff7.exe i still have to stop the tombola as normal.
when i start the backuped ff7.exe the game crashes when occuring battle. luckytifa both files are extracted and i am running the EU Pal Version of the game with XP Patch 1.4 no other patches.

thx
Loki
 
Can you post the content of the debug.txt file? Also, the "tombola" should still work as it was - the only difference is that you can only choose between "Yeah!", "Yeah!" and "Yeah!".
 
there is no content in the debug.txt excluding the header "Debug Data"... what now?

do i have to install the other mods, too? don`t think so, right?

Consult with the first post. Patches should be in the "patches" folder.
 
sorry... my folder was named "patch" not "patches" - devil in detail - thx
 
I'm having issues trying to get several of these patches to work.  I have the patches I want in the "Patches" folder and I have the install.bat and the skerb.ex_ in the final fantasy vii folder.  When I try to run the installer, it comes up saying:

Final Fantasy VII Skerb's Patch Installer...

Something's gone wrong... dunno what...
Sorry, no patching today.
Press any key to continue . . .

So I have no idea what I need to do to get this to work.  I'm not sure why I'm missing the temp.bat or the other .bat files.  I did a full install and it didn't work, so I tried it again and I yield the same results.  If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks.
 
Wow... The patcher need access rights to format... to patch your files dude. Seriously.
