Widescreen Gaming Forum

cool thanks alot .. im going to dl this right now and try it out

Hey guys just wanted to update this with a screenie that I took today with the High-Res Patch. The Patch I use is the 1280x1024 instead of the 1280x960, and although it does leave a black bar at the bottom of the screen, it doesn't look as pixelated as the 1280x960 when stretched out to 1680x1050.

Note this is FF7 PC Version (This is not an emulator) on Windows XP Pro with the following hardware in my signature w/ 16x Anisotropic Filtering and 8x Anti-Aliasing:



It's a beautiful thing isn't it? Watch out now that buster sword'll cut ya!

I'll take a digi cam picture later this evening once I have my camera back.

Good news on the horizon as well, because the Hi-Res patch creator is planning on making the resolution of 1600x1200 available soon so stretching won't look too bad on monitors with more resolution than 1680x1050. :)

Sweet! you have to love fan high res patches. They are makeing a highres patch for zelda 64. I cant wait for it to be out of beta! it looks like gamecube graphics!

Here's some pictures I took of my monitor while playing (sorry the camera is a little shaky).







As you can see from the pictures if you use the 1280x1024 Patch it will leave a black bar at the bottom of the screen. You will not get a black bar if you use the 1280x960 patch, so test the 960 version out first and if you like it stay with it. :)

Think i could ge it to work well on my 1440x900?

Yeah, my uncle has a 19" widescreen that he's been playing it on as well. It looks just as good as on my 20".

so i added the high res patch and im using it on at 1280*1024 and everything looks much better expept when im walking around (anytime not in a battle, menu, or a cinimatic) it appears to be a brick lay out where the cement bettween the bricks will be a mostly solid color such as green or red... what that all about?

hmmm...I'm not sure... what video card are you using? I don't experience this when playing the game. Perhaps you could play with some of your graphics settings to make it work?

Make sure in your FFVII Configuration to that the resolution is set @ 640x480 Full Screen and that the Nvidia Box is check and the radio button is selected next to TNT not Riva128.

My uncle plays this game with a Radeon X850XT and I play this with a 7900GT and both work flawlessly, so the game isn't biased towards one or the other.

If you want more help with it, post in the thread I linked to in the above post as the patch creator should be able to help you. :)

Looking at his pictures. I notice one of them was showing the same signs that you were describing, Red lines and such. He said the reason that happened for him was because he was using Bilinear Interpolation. Make sure you have Trilinear Interpolation enabled, in your video card drivers. Hopefully that should clear up the issue for you.

:(

I still can't get FF7 running on any of my XP boxes. And yes, I've tried it on 3 of 'em today... :cry: it just goes to 100% CPU and a black screen.
