final fantasy vii pc problems

ok so i just downloaded the iso's of the 4 ffvii pc discs. so i open them up with poweriso. won't work open them in daemon tools works but windows cant use the image. so any help.

its very difficult to get this game or FFVIII working on a modern PC.

They are 16 bit games, and even Windows XP 32-bit has problems running them. I think it has something to do with Microsoft's .Net Framework. I was able to install some 16 bit games that wouldn't install normally by starting my PC in safe mode, and then running the installation. (Like Sceptera Core)What operating system are you using?

windows 7 32 bit i have downloaded the keyboard patch and another patch that i need to use. also it comes under an iso burner document. hope you can help :-\

When I tried to run the FFVIII install program on my Windows XP PC, it would not even try to run. Clicking the install option just closed the program. After that I gave up and just played it on my Playstation and a PSX emulator. So unfortunately I don't have anything helpful for you (Other than use the PSX version and an emulator).

hmmm...I'll tell you how i installed VIII...maybe that will help you..in the files i got, i had 5 disks...1 install, 4 game disks...i has to mount the install disk, and mount the one inside it, then install, then i had to edit the registry to read from the install location for the gameplay disks, and had to mount them there...it's quite difficult...

its very very unlikely to work on win 7

hmm...if i get bored, I'll try it for myself...EDIT: i even tried running it in compatibility mode...it crashes after it installs codecs if your using the ultima edition of the game...i'm running Windows 7 64bit and it had an epic fail...

im not using ultima. it says the file format is not supported on poweriso. on daemon tools it mounts but windows cant aces the disc and that i should format it, and its only a .iso file!?

well i don't know how so could you tell me

It works fine on 32bit windows 7 I can confirm this today, also it works fine with no patches.
It sounds like your iso's are broken because mine play perfectly mounted in poweriso, ive had no issues whatsoever.
If you can wait 24 hours I'll upload them for you here: http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=44470.msg1045066#new

Much easer to get the PS version in iso format and use Psx v1.13 emulatorI have had this game on windows and it is hard to get it runing perfect, Patches can help but still not perfect, also midi sound cover you'r ears lol!

well thanks guys well im sad to say that i finally managed to get psx rom working today BUT i can now use the pc version to play it simply (the controlls are extrymly awkward on epsxe with only a laptop keyboard) so thanks for all the help.

If you want to cheat google jenova editor.
It allows you to change stuff in your saves like add master materia, level up etc.
For FF8 google griever editor.
