Well, this game is the s***, and I would like to use it on my updated PC, but FFVII requires a graphics card with 8 bit paletted texture support, witch my 9700 Pro does not have. Anyone know of a way to "Emulate" this feature so I dont have to play hte game in software rendering mode .

Do you have the playstation version?

If not, it would be in your best interest to obtain it and use a PSX emulator to get your Cloud on. The PC version of FFVII is "okay," at best. You need to see it in 1024x768x32 4xAA.

Check it out...I'm sure there's more than a few of us that have done this type of thing before. Happy hunting.

Thanx for the reply, I guess I could try that, but the only problem is if I can even get the game, and even then I wont be able to use my old svaed game

im sure there was a non official patch that fixed the game to work on modern cards.
try a search on google

u can only run in software rendering mode cos the xp patch only supports the following chipsets:
3Dfx Voodoo
3Dfx Voodoo2
3Dfx Voodoo Rush
3Dlabs Permedia2
ATI Rage Pro
Intel I740
Matrox G200
NEC PowerVR2
nVIDA GeForce2
nVIDA GeForce4 MX
nVIDA RIVA 128
nVIDA TNT

gf4 ti n fx can be used after tweaking dx8.1 to enable 8bit palette in rivatuner. no radeons supported
