Well, if you're lucky, it will all work fine... until you reach the chocobo races.

what happens

 

it jjust crashes or? die?

 

how far in are the races?

Morrowind. Just raised the bar

Morrowind is boring and the combat is well......pants. Final Fantasy will work up to the chocobo races, authough it might take some tweaking to get it running. It will always crash there and as far as i know there is no known workaround.

 

The problem is even listed on the Eidos site for FF7, but i doubt there will ever be a fix

Just as the race proper starts it'll crash sending you straight back up to the desktop. It can happen with all the subgames (escaping Shinra tower, Snowboarding, Submarine and possibly the RTS bit at Fort Condor) but it just seems to happen with regularity at the Chocobo races.
