If you want the PlayStation version (PSX), I have posted it here : code : http://nl-ff.~ This Domain is not allowed ~/vault/141025/downloads/Install.Code.rar.html ============ Mounting CDs FIX ============ For the users who mount the CDs, here's the solution: Press Start and go to Run, type in regedit, drop down the following folders on the left side, hkey_local_machine, software, square soft inc, final fantasy viii then click on 1.00. over to the right in the main box now, right click on datapath and select modify, change the drive letter to what ever CD drive your using followed by :, ie f: and it will work fine, and to the problem with a missing disk is solved. Very Important Note : If you can't find the value "Datapath" in "hkey_local_machine, software, square soft inc, final fantasy viii, 1.00", change "Datadrive" instead (in Windows Vista\Seven x32). If it is Vista/Seven (x64), then instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc\FINAL FANTASY VIII\1.00 Look in : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Square Soft, Inc\FINAL FANTASY VIII\1.00 If you can't find this one too, you will have to BURN the discs to blank CDs. It will work fine even without using the launcher nor changing anything in the registry. Note: For future notice. Anything that is Vista/Seven 64bit (x64) after SOFTWARE add Wow6432Node between it and whatever else is there (in this case Square Soft, Inc). ======= NVidia FIX ======= If you have NVidia videocard you might end up getting stupid black boxes, here's the fix for that: How to use it: 1. Unrar the Nvidia patch into game directory (replace all of the files) 2. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Setup 3. Unrar FF8 Launcher v.1.31 into a folder of your choice. (I put the files in the game directory) 4. Run FF8_Launcher.exe, choose your resolution, activate 8-bit pallets texture fix and if you're using a widescreen resolution also activate Stretch 4:3 Aspect Ratio. ======================== Another patches from FilePlanet.com ======================== 1- Final Fantasy VIII v1.2 : Details : Addresses issues with Yamaha Software Synthesizer, fixes a crash after a player defeats "Balamb Garden Master NORG", as well as fixing other miscellaneous things.
