thank you, i used search but i couldnt find the thread that contained the download, i only found the tutorial.
 
I must say that as much as people talk about searching before posting, it's pretty hard to find something when there's dozens of threads about something you're looking for.  You'd think it would be easy, but it's not unless you already know which thread to go to.

To be fair, the topic containing the Reunion patch doesn't actually have "Reunion" or "patch" in the title.

But also, the search function doesn't search topic titles only.. it also searches inside the topic.. so.. ya know..

There is a function for searching only in topic titles. That may be what he did.

Not trying to nit-pick or argue, but, these are the only two options I see in there.. so.. unless you have a different version of the forum.. with different options...

Hey guys, I'm having a problem where Direct3D won't work, it just looks the same as Software Rendering.

I have an ATI Radeon x300.  I did check the NVidia and TNT box, and selected Direct3D.  But, the graphics don't change and it looks just like Software Rendering.

I read that there is way to manually edit the registry to change it to Direct3D.  Can someone give a link?

TIA.

EDIT: I feel :oops: .  Basically, all I had to do was use higher resolution (via patch) and now it looks amazing.  640x480 looks like Software Rendering on a 1400x1050 screen.
 
What's the consensus on the sped up minigames and how to slow them down? Supposedly programs like winThrottle can help, but I don't know what to do with it. What does everyone else have it set on?
 
you can also manually set vsycnh on and decrease your refresh rate.
 
ff7 ver 1.02???

is this the same as the 1 in edios's support forum "riva tnt patch"???

Also... theres soo many patches around... so i only need to patch to ver 1.02 and chocobo patch thats it??

Also... after i patched the game to "ver 1.02".. when the game loads.. the squaresoft movie does not play... a blank screen simply stays.. until i press enter or space... then the "new game, continue?" screen comes on.. is that normal???  :isee:
 
guys,

for cant play movie or starting black screen problem, u need "TM20DEC.AX".
u can verify that u have this problem when u cant play the .avi from cd.
u could find this file at ur win98's windows folder.
register it at your xp: regsvr32 TM20DEC.AX  

i cant believe the game works after 7 years :D
 
I believe it that feature was available in an old DOS save editor called CID.
IF ANYONE STILL HAS CID, PLEASE LET ME KNOW
Thanks
 
Well, can I know why my FF7 cannot run in window mode even after download and apply the ff7w? I'm using window XP and after I apply the ff7w thingy, it just go black and return to my desktop.
 
Riva TNT or 1.02 patch...what ever you wanna call it.
Will not work with an ATI card
At least not until they Disable the 8 bit pallet in their drivers.

Rule of thumb...if the Test for the 8bit pallet says Pass, the TNT patch is not going to work. You'll get a black screen, if you install it and check the Nvidia option. The Test needs to say FAIL.

Lies, I have a Radeon X800XT and the patch and its fine for me.
 
FF7 works fine on my ATI 9800pro as long as I check the TNT box in the 1.02 config.
 
I have a 9800XT and everything works fine for me.  Maybe its the display driver, or the FSAA or AF settings in the display properties.  I created a specific profile for FF7 and all is well.
