FF7 Better Graphics Patch

[Lenna]

DMKA, there's a much better utility than the soundfonts to add to it. I've got a program which lets me play the original MP3's. It's works perfectly.

I'm reviving this one!

is there newer and better patches made now? for the 1.02 version patch?

and what about us with Vista or windows 7?

[seiferalmasy2]

Yes, over at qhimms they are:

1. making more models, and have changed a LOT of the ordinary NPC to decent models
2. Changed main character models as you have seen
3. Made a custom driver which can support high resolution and OpenGL, makes game compatible with all windows OS (inc Vista 64 bit) and also possibility of Wine with linux
4. Updating the magics to higher resolution
5. I am personally updating the movies from PSX version to H.264 for use in the game
6. I am in charge of the retranslation project
7. Editors now available to edit game, I am gonna use it for a more difficult game patch.

8. FF7Music can now make the game use PSF or MP3 so the sound is 100% to PSX now. No soundfonts.

9. Transparent text boxes
10. Fonts and main GUI of VII altered.


For an example I made see here: YouTube - Final Fantasy VII - Example of Story Based Walk Through

Oh no its the emo cloud from AC on the menu screen!

dont want the music either. Just the models. isnt that finished somewhere?

Qhimm forum. As for Emo cloud...it is just a more accurate picture of him there. All the patches are optional.

This patch and some of the others always looked neat to smurf around with. Some people love the old school graphics, but I definitely have a predilection for prettier characters. But the PC version does not work well on my computer. If I tried to patch it, it'd probably get even more messy and frustrating and soon I'd be riding my tricycle into a volcano.

Aali's new driver sorts out every problem I have had with this game.

All you need is 1.02 + aali's patch and you can then run in window mode too, and use opengl.

It is much better.
