Be careful installing this Mt Corel demo, it wrecks your FF7 registry entries, and you have to reinstall the final version.

Crap, i didn't test the full game until i read this post just now, and it screwed it up.
Gotta reinstall now...

EDIT:

God damn, now it gets an error with Aali's Opengl driver.

Clear the registry entries by hand and then reinstall?

Actually, it works right if you uninstall the demo then reinstall the game.

I backed up my game files and mods, and everything seems okay now.
 
Shaddapp!  I am the boss around here, and I say to stop replying to this thread.
 
So, which one of the grudge holding, banned ex-members would you be, oh-soon-to-be-banned-again-member?
 
What are you talking about?  Don't you respect my authority?  This is your last warning before I ban you!
 
Hmm a person must really have no life if they have to come back to a forum just to "WIND PEOPLE UP."

What a sad lonely Seifer. Ummm, question.... Are you moving in with your mother? You seem to the kind of person who fits the stereotypical bill of the 40 year old who sits in his mom's basement and touches himself to "slutty video game girls."
 
What happened to the link Everstrong posted? :( Can anyone reupload it?  :-D
 
hmm... this may be a bump, but its quite interesting.

I found the demo disk with FF7 from the PC gamer under my sister's bed.

apparently, because we had too many pc gamer demo disks we were throwing them out,
and she wanted to save that one, but she forgot about it for almost 11 years lol.

when i get the chance ill post a pic.

EDIT:
oh wow, it has the Quake 2 demo as well

Were the music files mp3s?

I remember hearing somewhere that the reason FF7 used synthesised music was that the makers couldn't fit the game with mp3 files on three discs. This isn't so much of a problem with the PSX version, but it means that the PC version had the awful sounding MIDIs. Presumably, Square didn't want to go to the trouble of making orchestral versions of everything and putting the game on four discs (not including the install disc), just to make the PC version sound good (@#&%ers!).

There's a significant chance that everything I've just said is a load of crap  :lol:

then y say it? lol
 
Is there a video of that anywhere? I really don't fancy playing it, but I'd like to watch through it to see the differences.
 
I think I might still have the Mt. Corel demo, but I might have deleted it. If I do have it, it's on my external HDD which is currently connected to my Wii. Sometime today I'll see if I can find it.

I refuse to install it, because it fucks up the existing FFVII install, as I learned last time I tried to use it. It's really nothing special to watch, anyway. It's much more interesting from a technical standpoint, as it uses an unfinished version of their PC engine, with streaming WAV music, and maybe some other differences that I hadn't noticed.
 
Its just normal FF7 but with PSX music. I wonder why they suddnely changed to Midi? Diskspace maybe? Or it could have been that not many computers could have done it at the time, i dunno.
