GamergodGold 0 Posted December 19, 2004 I'm not sure this will work for everyone, but it worked very well for me. Now happily playing Final Fantasy 7:D --------------------------------------------------------------- Specs. pIII 600mhz 512mb Ram 9550 Sapphire Radeon 128mb --------------------------------------------------------------- Now to address the problem... *************************************************************** Problem: Starting up the game, there is a black screen and no sound. Pressing buttons makes us go to the Continue/New Game screen. Solution: Installed fresh(Do NOT install DirectShow drivers), applied 1.02 patch http://rpghaven.uni.cc/goldfinger/ff7/ff7102zx.zip, appplied upside down movie patch http://rpghaven.uni.cc/goldfinger/ff7/ff7betap1.exe, and for later on in the game, just incase the game freezes on the chocobo races, applied the chocobo patch http://rpghaven.uni.cc/goldfinger/ff7/ff7_chocobo_patch.zip *************************************************************** Well, i hope this helped you, and if it did not, feel free to e-mail mne at Gamergod.Gold@gmail.com with the subject Final Fantasy VII or something along the lines of that.

To uninstall it type regsvr32 /u tm20dec.ax P.S. Instead of getting upside-down patch ppl, U can download latest TrueMotion2 Decompression Filter(tm20dec.ax)(version 2.0.6.6).

wanka 0 Posted January 19, 2005 hey, i seem to have a problem with the movie in the crater up north, the movie freezez but the music keeps playing but the picture stands still. I have applied all the patches had listed here Share this post Link to post
cloud41269 0 Posted February 18, 2005 The people who created the movie codec seems to have stopped doing them now as it says on their website "duck.com" so its hard to know if the codec here is the latest version, i fixed the north crater clip crash by making an image of disc 2 (using nero image maker), editing it by removing the crater clip using ULTRA ISO "in movies folder" encoding it using eo video to AVI no compression, it will stop around 18 seconds as soon as it does stop encoding, you may have to force it to stop, watch clip and you may still have same error with black screen message after few seconds complaining to update, use avi/mpeg splitter and cut off a few seconds before that message, watch clip so theres no traces of that message, rename to same as original (delete original) add back into image (I used Ultra ISO) Mount image into Daemon tools software and run game, what i saw was the clip was a tiny square on the screen, it got past it fine. I thought all this was because i took Aeris with me LOL but all seems well. Hope i helped. Share this post Link to post

cloud41269 0 Posted March 12, 2005 The problem with the movies crashing on north crators means that its a bad disc, if you check disc 3 movie clips in windows media player the same thing happens, everyone who experiences this problem i bet its cause we all downloaded the same version. The one i got was from piratebay.org and all 4 images was done by Nero and the 1.4 patch was corrupted sound familiar to those having problems? I solved the disc 2 problemby luckely finding a mates disc 2 UK vesion and i copied the video clips into the US versions image, only proble left is disc 3 clips, just have to hope someone uploads to the web disc 3 of a diffent non corrupted copy.

cloud41269 0 Posted March 14, 2005 ruby54501: Try downloading all different .exe's there are many about to fix all different cards, try the 1.2 patch exe or 1.4 Mitsuomi: Try different .exe's too, as many as you can also keep changing the settings (config) its a chocobo icon keep changing general settings till its fixes your problem. You have simialar pc specs as me and i never experienced that problem try the chocobo patch onthe original .exe Share this post Link to post

Anomas Kamath 0 Posted April 9, 2005 If he downloaded it from the internet, u just need a crack. Sounds simple at first, but, believe me, it isn't. I have a couple with me, but only one of them seems to work with the chocobo patch and the 1.02 patch, plus the upside-down one. So, if he needs it, anomas.kamath@gmail.com And hey... i have another topic around here somewhere about another problem i had after getting te crack to work, if anyone have the time, stop by... something about 'not recognizing cds'.

cloud41269 0 Posted April 17, 2005 if crashes at chocobo race use the special chocobo patch. If downloaded they shouldbe cd images just mount install image disc and install it then mount disc 1 into clone drive then you get movies too and dont need a crack. Share this post Link to post
Anomas Kamath 0 Posted April 17, 2005 there's just a problem.. mine doesn't work anyway. A russian pal from this forum solved the problem by mounting his image using nero imagedrive, which worked, even though the written cd and clone cd mounter couldn't do it... but his image was a .nrg, and mine's .mdf, so, whatever, i don't have a solution yet...

roleplayer10 0 Posted April 19, 2005 Maybe somebody can help me. I came to this sight to try and find out how to make my game work at the chocobo races. I saw somebody post the same exact problem I have, it stops working just at the chocobo races. But I don't know what to do to fix it. Am I missing the link to solve the problem. Please somebody let me know. Share this post Link to post
