[eninen525]

i bought ff8 for pc a while ago on ebay, and am still waiting for it to arrive at my door. i went n bought my saitek p2500 gamepad for pc, and am testing if its compatible wit ff8 for pc (im using the ff8 demo to test) and for some reason the d-pad just doesnt work. is this only a problem with the demo ? do i need to install/upgrade my gamepad ? can anyone help me who overcame this issue
sorry if this is an old topic btw

I used a gamepad, but it was just a Gravis. How is it "not working?" Is it not compatible, or are the buttons not working when you play the game?

okay nevermind about that topic, i can get the game to work now. my package just arrived today =]
ive encountered a new problem though. im playing the game and the video is all messed up. like im running and u can see a trail of squall. and when the message windows pop up and i press confirm, a new one pops up and the old one stays too. its like the old video of the game is mixing with present and its all ... ERR. anyone had this problem ? help =D

Dang. What are the stats of your PC? With my old one, the game ran sort of slow, and there were green lines in the pre-rendered backgrounds, but nothing beyond that.

i dont think my pc is too bad. it aint good though, but way beyong ff8 requirements. 64mb standard video, 768 ram, 50 gigs of free space, 1.8 ghz(eww). errrrr these squares and video flaws are making me crazy

What are the standard requirements for FF8? You never know, your video card may not be good enough. =P

That is good enough; my current pc is about the same, and it plays FF8 fine. Ask someone from Square.
