i'm having the same problem - i'm pretty sure it has something to do with trying to display the battle swirl in 32-bit color, if ff7w is any indication. ff8 just happens to crash rather than skipping the effect.

the weird thing is, it worked for me the first couple times, but now it crashes no matter what. i have a radeon x600 mobility - is anybody else experiencing this problem using an ati card? i was never sure if i was meant to use the nvidia 1.02 patch or the normal one, given the somewhat extreme age of both patches.
 
holy hell, i fixed it.

nop out 0x0041a253. you'll get a pleasant image of your recycle bin morphing into a bite bug when you enter battle, and voila- no more crashes.
 
you mean ff8.exe?

it's 1.02 non-geforce (and cracked..), but i didn't get that address from my version. my version kept spitting out an address that didn't exist in ff8.exe whenever it crashed, so i used the one posted above, and lo, it worked.

Well... I confused this thread with ff7w thread... I'm not really into ff8 since I don't own a copy of it anymore. Finding that offset was a good job though... I think :P

What's up! It's been a while since I posted here.. anyway here's a new build of FF8w, I recoded some parts of the Loader, and created a new FF8w plugin, so grab the new files.

Check the readme for the new hotkeys, new features on the cheat plugin are Save Anywhere (this time I really tested it), and an AP plugin. Some of you reported crashing when you enter battle hopefully that's fixed with this version. :-D

Download FF8w

P.S: I dunno if someone may find this useful, while messing around with the code I accidentally ended up here, it's kind of funny to float on water.  :-P
 
Sorry, I wasn't sure about my two post, thought that this one didn't work.

tks.

Sorry for the bump, but my laptop has geforce and ff8w does work but I can't see anything.(yes, I read the first post) Is there any alternative way to play ff8 in windowed mode?
