Stickies are exempt from necroposting since they are deemed important enough to always be at the top of forums.

sorry i missed that in the "new rules post" it just says about posting in more then one month old
The only exceptions to this are people that release programs have a new version to release, or if there is some new information directly related to the topic at hand

i was going by that.
 
It's not in the rules, but it makes sense.   If a topic is THAT important seems to me posting in it should always be ok.
 
I've always said that necroposting is quite acceptable on a knowledge-base / technical forum. Questions about operating environments and engines always remain relevant. A double-posting rule would be enough to stop newbies bumping their technical questions.
 
thanks for the info, guys.  i figured this would be a safe post because the topic remains relevant and it seemed wildly redundant to make a new thread when there was a sticky that so nicely summed up the topic.

so, using an iso image doesn't affect anything like moving crucial memory addresses or pointers?  i want to play it safe because i know what a b**** it is to debug that kind of stuff sometimes.
 
The game plays perfectly with the iso images. On a maximum install, most of the data it uses is on the hard drive anyway. The CDs are only used for the movies, and even they can be moved to the HDD with a bit of registry editing.
 
Nope, it should have no effect at all. Just make sure that you install the game from the same lettered drive you plan on mounting the iso's with. Or else you need to change registry settings to get it to work.
 
...No. Why would it? An ISO is just an image of the disc + ECC and file partition.
 
I have a request for someone who in fact owns the platinum edition, and windows xp.

Please install the sy70xg, and see if it installs.

IF it installs, let me know if anything specia was needed ot do it.

If it installs, did it work.

If not, please download the microsoft update cab file (google it) update the driver to the one present inside of the cab file (use normal windows extraction methods) and let me know if that fixes it.

i know the one that comes with the non platinum one will NOT install on xp. you can run it in 98 compatibility mode, but it wont' realyl install, and the xgplayer program will NOT run.
 
This may be off topic, but I'm in a situation of two copies of FF7 lol. The first time, I got the discs (platinum) and it was in decent condition. I downloaded a pirate copy, BUT it's legal if you already own the product you're downloading. Same situation when I got the triangle-boxed version. I have it, and I keep it sealed along with my FFVII black edition for PS1. I downloaded a pirated copy again when I got that one, but here's my question. It IS legal to download roms and iso's of games if you own it... but what if you havent opened it!? :o

its not legal, why i can't really tell you. this would classicly be covered by "fair use"

this would be a dual violation of the DCMA, for you have 1. broken the copyright protection and 2.changed the format of the product... this also would have classicly been covered by "fair use"
 
Q: Is it legal to download a copy of a game I own?

A: No. Even if you own the original game, you are not entitled to download a copy of it. Copyright law clearly states that the only copy of software you are entitled to is the one you make yourself.

That's exactly what I thought when I posted on forums, and yet all I get is a warning and "read the rules" (here, I did get an answer... sorta)? DX

Anyway, back on the subject, I bought a FF7 from amazon, and it was of Like New quality. Turns out the disk was broken sometime in the Shipment and I sent it back for a refund. I never got the refund. I bought another one, but this time, the disk didn't read (It was Very Good Condition), and gave me an "Corrupt disk error". "Cannot Read Data. Insert a valid disk" or something like that. I wrote tec support, and they came to the conclusion that I had to replace my DVD-rom drive. I did, but it gave me the same faulty error. I tried to send back the Disc for a refund, but the disk was lost in shipment.

Are those used discs for real? All that is left is a 149 dollar "new" disk, and I'm afraid to lose money to another dead cd. :S

WOW! $45.00 + $5.00 S&H without the box!!

Maybe I should list my 2nd copy of FF7.
Then I can buy more toys . . .
 
Well, the good news is that you can now finally buy a digital copy for $10 ($12 after promo ends) off the official site, but I have no clue if this works with the mods on here...
 
few mods have been confirmed working. we can only wait and see
 
Which ones? Where would I find out? I've been out of the loop for years...
