Final Fantasy 7 VII PSX

This is Final Fantasy 7 (VII) the absolute best game for PSX or anyconsole in the whole world!, enjoy it and here is a guide on how to play it on your computer: if u have anyproblem with setting up your video configuration here is a GREAT site that tells u what config u should have on a specific game: http://www.lordkane.co.uk/ 1. To unzip the 7z file download the 7-Zip here http://www.7-zip.org/ 2. Now you can either burn it or mount it. I will describe how u can mount it. If you want to burn it u need to do it on your own. 3. When it is unziped u need to get Daeomon Tools so u can mount the image, get it here http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/download.php 4. When the image is mounted u need to play it in a PSX emulator, i suggest ePSXe, thats the best one, get it here http://www.epsxe.com/download.php 5. To use the PSX emulator u need to get a BIOS file, search the internet or other p2p networks to find it, it is called SCPH1001.BIN and is about 0,5 MB big 6. In order to play this game u need to install some plugins, download and install/extract these plugins in the plugins folder: 6.1 Pete's Video plugin, for best video, get it here http://www.ngemu.com/download.php?action=plugin&id=7 6.2 Pete's Sound plugin, for best sound, get it here http://www.ngemu.com/download.php?action=plugin&id=23 6.3 Pete's CD plugin, get it here http://www.ngemu.com/download.php?action=plugin&id=35 6.4 Input plugin, get it here http://www.ngemu.com/download.php?action=plugin&id=52 7. After installing the plugins start up ePSXe go through the install wizard step by step 7.1 Video, choose Pete's video plugin for your graphic card, then press Config and then press the "Nice" button at the button to get good settings that works good with these FF games 7.2 if u dont want to play in full screen u can change that at the top by choosing window mode 7.3 Choose Pete's Sound plugin and press next, dont need to change any config. 7.4 Choose Pete's CD plugin (P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver 1.4) and press config, Select your interface at the top, if u have W2K or XP choose the raw reading one. then select what drive the game is mounted in and press ok 7.5 finally change the controllers or keep them as they are, u decide.. 8. To load the mounted image just press File and then Run CDROM. if u want to load a real ps cd that u have in your drive u need to change the drive in Pete's CD plugin (P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver 1.4) to the specific drive. 9. thats all, hope it works, if u bump in to any problems, just post it here and ill try to help.

imran1 (2005-07-13)

i agree with that guy, those greedy thieves

Metalsege (2005-07-15)

7-ZIP wont zip up the files it opens the map where the "FF7" files are

Metalsege (2005-07-15)

Okej the game works PERFECT but it goes to fast i cannot hear the cool music and the effects goes to fast its like FASTMOTION what should i do? =(

moutch180985 (2005-07-17)

game in french ?

Monkey_D_Luffy (2005-07-22)

Works great on epsxe. However, if you want the best experience:
1. PC version is best -- better graphics, sound, faster gameplay.
2. Normal PS1 version is 2nd -- better graphics, sound.
3. epsxe version is ok if you have a fast CPU(over 2GHz AMD recommended by me, with at least a radeon 9800 Pro and 512MB of pc-3200). You can play around with the video settings to get a better picture, and you will want to change the audio settings so you get all the audio that was in the original PS1 game.

PsychoGo (2005-07-23)

Seedo!

stickyfingaz (2005-08-01)

Works just fine!

maccus (2005-08-08)

is uk version? in english? response please!

lbinator (2006-01-05)

does anybody know if this would work on a mac?

snes nörd (2006-01-08)

It works on a mac. If the game doesn't work it's the emulators fault.

lbinator (2006-01-09)

the last cd of this game unzips to this weird format that includes 3 files .ccd .sub and .img has anyone had any luck with making this a .iso ?

DarkSygil (2006-01-31)

Im alll done,works great thank you! As for seeding I think its doing it on its own,I see the "up" arrow on my client BL. I have another torrent done but no up arrow and I want to give back. How do I do this? Thanks!

DarkSygil (2006-01-31)

Nevermind I got it =D

kaldarosh (2006-02-13)

Neo Starfox (2006-02-18)

ok i downloaded the plugins but when i try to configure them they don't show up, and whenever i try the wizard configuration it always says i need the bios but i already manually selected the SCHP1001.BIN bios.
BTW i did put the plugins in the plugin folder and the bio in the bios folder

Neo Starfox (2006-02-18)

ok i tried to configure the plugins but it won't show up whenever i try and the wizard configuration always asks for a bios when i downloaded the suggested one you said to. i also put the bios in the bio folder and the plugins in the plugin folder and yet it still won't work

Neo Starfox (2006-02-18)

ok sorry for triple posting but i have got it working, but certain cutscenes don't have sound like when the upper plate falls onto sector 7 on disc 1. Can some one tell me if this is supposed to happen or am i missing some files?

jay_2_the_kay (2006-04-23)

when i get to this certain part in disk 2 the screen goes black and the error noise keeps comin up.

lilcuree (2006-04-30)

There's a certain part in the first disk where ePSXe completly stops. It's when you go to Golden Corral, on the cutscene where you're riding the blue thing on the wire, where ePSXe just stops, and it says not responding. Someone help?

BlazeFace (2006-05-20)

Yo people please help me out! I did everything with that ePSXe stuff! the video, sound, cd-rom & bios configuration! I downloaded the Daemon Tools

BlazeFace (2006-05-20)

and now i need to mount the game and the IMG file! Can someone please explain in details & dummy language how i need to do this stuff? Please don't use too many difficult computer words!

Mattwantsmore (2006-05-21)

what is up with everyone only having 95% of the files somone should seed or something because its not cool

Cloudrules (2006-05-26)

can you please help me? on disc 2 im up to the city of the ancients and when i use the key of the ancients and go inside with bugenhagen it just half freezes. the screen stays black and its going slower, then i go up and bugenhagen says something and then this thing flashes in there then it makes an error noise and i cant go anywhere or talk to anyone and evry 10 or 20 seconds it just keep makin the error noise is there a way to fix this?

squashen (2006-07-15)

i got the same problem whit a black screen on same place.. i think its wrong on that disk "disk 2" i think the disc the person who copy this has a scratch on disk 2. try download disk two from anohter place

squashen (2006-07-15)

Rurounin (2006-07-31)

Is it the Platinum version or the earlier superior version?

zeffof (2006-08-07)

??????i dont get this 7-zip isnt unzipping the file and daemon tools isnt opening for me

Rhokk (2006-08-09)

I am confused, whenever i go to download the torrent, bittorrent says that it cannot connect to the tracker and peer thingie,
how do i fix that?

ff7fr3ak (2006-11-22)

My game freezes going into the golden suaser for the first time, anyone know how to solve this??

ff7fr3ak (2006-11-24)

Okay, the GoldenSaucer error was fixed, I just waited ten minutes, and the scene thankfully ended, and everything else was normal again. Now, I can't unzip CD 2 or CD 3, it says there are errors when extracting them. I'm downloading them both again, maybe I'll get a better file... Also, CD 3 seemed like there wasn't an ISO file associated with it. Anyone have similar problems?

dr.worm (2006-11-24)

you don't really need to mount this-
epsxe can run the game from an iso, mounted iso or the actual game disc
thanks alot!

Osaka (2006-11-24)

@ monkey d luffy:
"if you want the best experience:
1. PC version is best -- better graphics, sound, faster gameplay."
WHAT KIND OF RETARDED STATEMENT IS THAT?
The PC version's graphics look MUCH crappier, and the sound is just MIDI files!! The PlayStation (original) version has the orginal wav sound! Far, far, far superior to the PC version.
Playing FF7 on the PC destroys the feeling of the game. It's totally different. Like a completly different game.
Mainly because of the music, the music makes up 50% of the game, and the PC versions music sucks hard. It sounds like some kiddy Mario game or whatever.

jayman11 (2006-11-29)

im at disc 2 and im at the part where you learn about the hope materia. after i put the key to the ancients in the music box the water comes down. when i go in it bunagen says that the screen is used to project an image. i read it is suposed to show aeris dying but instead the screen stays black. how do i fix this?

CursedGroin (2007-01-05)

@ Osaka:
Actually, the PSX version's music was only MIDI too. Difference is, the MIDI samples on the PSX was either better, or customized by the composer, I don't know which.
But the PC version is buggy as hell, and the graphics are inferior. However, playing the PSX game with an emulator with high graphics settings will give you much more beautiful 3d models. ;)

tlarseth (2007-01-24)

ALso, I have had severe problems with the PC version crashing to desktop as well, only game out of 200+ that I have played on this system that has done that.

jawker (2007-02-18)

When i choose play from CD-ROM my screen goes black and nothing happens... i usually have to cntrl-alt-delete out of the emulator then.

Duzt (2007-02-24)

hey has anyone had any luck getting this to work on a mac? ive got firestorm for an emulator, jus wondering if the same plugins will work....

Duzt (2007-02-24)

*ahem "flarestorm" sorry

N4nd1t0 (2007-03-10)

Hi! I have a problem with the game. I'm finished the 2nd disc, and when the game needs the disc change, i change it (run ISO), but the game doesn't accept it, so i can't continue the game. Please help me!

onyx512 (2007-03-13)

I can't get this to work. I dled the torrent, dled 7-z and daemon tools, but 7-z won't open the file, and I can't figure it out. What's the deal?

patrikzidane (2007-04-14)

no all u need is CD-R... no DVD required.. if u gonna burn it just choose "Burn Image" and then select it and it should atomatically fit onto a CD-R... hope u like my torrent :)
and 2 @ 2 posts up, are u sure it just isnt a epsxe thing? do everyone get that error?

kasai_flames (2007-04-15)

okay so the game is working on my emulator but I can only see half of the screen. Can anyone help with this?

zealos (2007-04-27)

hi i have a priblem it all starts ok but its really really fast....how can i slow it down pls help me

patrikzidane (2007-05-03)

if u only see half of the screen try changing the video resolution..
and for u with the speed problems.. try changing the fps.. there is some option that fixes it.. i had that problem too.. try to google it.. epsxe speed or something

lordkhan (2007-05-10)

And there's also a mod for pc with better quality models ;o

blackideas (2007-05-16)

I'm also having the problem with the scene right after the key is installed in the ancient city. I get the error sound. But I downloaded from somebody else and i was hoping this version wasn't buggy.
Is there somebody that has gone over that problem and fixed it, is it the disk that cause the problem or is it the emulator...
I use pSX_1_10 with windows XP, has this problem occured on another emulator (like a lack of memory for this specific scene)

lil_shorty2424 (2007-05-21)

7 zip won't unsip the torrent. it says it is not a supported archive.

ReVarre (2007-05-23)

For jayman11 and everyone else who's playing this game and having problems due to a blackscreen in forgotten city where the "key of the ancients" is used:
I solved this by doing the following:
1. Click as far as you can go with "text boxes" popping up
2. Press esc and choose "Change ISO/Disc" (3)
3. Click as far as you can
4. Press esc and choose "Change ISO/Disc" (2)
5. Click as far as you can and then try to run back one room (arrows v > simultaneously I believe)
6. Press esc and choose "Change ISO/Disc" (1)
7. Don't remember, just save state and see how far you can go before the game crashes and then change to Disc 3 before that happends
That worked perfectly for me (lol complicated eh?). Note that the numbers within parantethetis e.g. (1), (2), (3) is the different discs you have available and are supposed to change to.

ReVarre (2007-05-23)

Ignore the above comment, I made a typo!

FFwontwork (2007-05-25)

I followed ReVarre's instructions..well i tried to, it was very confusing
Well heres my problem:
as soon as the old guy finishes talking and i try to enter the waterfall, the screen goes black. Can someone please help me with this?

alliexcoeur (2007-05-25)

Ok, for those of you having trouble after putting the "key to the ancients" on disc2, I have worked on a "simple" solution, and it works!
Here it is:
1. Run the 2Disc ISO.
2. Use the Save State feature on slot 1 right before you enter
the room with the waterfall.
3. Now enter the room and wait for the black screen and run forward.
When Bugenhagen gets to the part where he says
"Look! Look at the image projected on the screen of the water!"
press the circle button to continue and your screen will flash with the
characters standing. Press ESC before it fades completely,
and change your disc to the 3rd disc.
4. It will fade back in to the characters who aren't doing anything.
Press ESC again and this time, load the 2nd disc. A FMV will play.
5. After the FMV, the screen will turn black and you will have to go
through a bunch of text... you will hear error messages now and then
but don't worry about it. As soon as cloud starts talking about
Sephiroth, hit ESC and save state to slot 2.
Continue and You will hear one last error message when
there is no more text. Run downwards and wait for the screen to flash
With Bugenhagen standing. Press ESC, and load the 3rdDisc.
6.When you're back outside, press ESC again and load disc 2.
That's all!

ReVarre (2007-05-26)

Ignore the above comments, I made a typo and I need to clarify for "FFwontwork"!
For jayman11 and everyone else who's playing this game and having problems due to a blackscreen in forgotten city where the "key of the ancients" is used:
I solved this by doing the following:
1. When the sceen gets black click as far as you can go with "text boxes" popping up (if theres none, just skip to the next step, I cant really remember)
2. Press esc and choose "Change ISO/Disc" to the third disc/iso
3. Click as far as you can until the text boxes stops showing
4. Press esc yet again and choose "Change ISO/Disc" to the second disc/iso
5. Click as far as you can and then try to run back one room (arrows v > 'down-left' simultaneously I believe)
6. Press esc and choose "Change ISO/Disc" to the first disc/iso
7. Don't remember, just save state and see how far you can go before the game crashes and then change to Disc/iso 2 before that happends
That worked perfectly for me (lol complicated eh?). Hope this edited post clarifies for those who didn't get me at my last post.

ReVarre (2007-05-26)

If this still dont help ya then can you please upload your save state to a free file hosting service then comment the link here and I'll make an image tutorial for ya :)

ReVarre (2007-05-26)

Nvm alliexcoeur did the explaining perfectly, I missed his comment so I thought I'd try explaining better, no need for that.. He did it perfectly.
Saves me the trouble, thanks :)

FFwontwork (2007-05-26)

Well I tried following the instructions but i cant seem to get to step 2. When I enter the waterfall thing, the screen goes all black and the old guy doesnt talk at all. All I get is an error message. Maybe I'm just retarded or I have a different problem.

FFwontwork (2007-05-26)

I'll try to upload the savestate

FFwontwork (2007-05-26)

Ummm I'm pretty new to this and i cant post a link

FFwontwork (2007-05-26)

I cant seem to post the link =(

ReVarre (2007-05-27)

type the link like this: http :// www .domain .com or summit?

FFwontwork (2007-05-27)

Its at rapidshare
[slash] files [slash] 33401303 [slash] SCES [underscore] 108 [dot] 67 [dot] 003

ReVarre (2007-05-28)

Downloaded it, I'll upload a savegame for you after the bug and start working on a tutorial for all who wants to fix this without my help

ReVarre (2007-05-28)

Okay, so everythings fixed now, to continue the story just click on the flyer (w/e you wish to
call it).
The save state is on Disc 2, Slot 4

FFwontwork (2007-05-28)

Thank you very much ^___^

FFwontwork (2007-05-28)

One problem, when I try to put it in the sstates folder it doesnt show up..

ReVarre (2007-05-28)

It's a zip file, you need winzip or winrar to extract it.. I recommend winrar.. rarlab[dot]com
Install it and just double click on the .zip file to open the archive and view its contents, mark the 2 files in it and click "Extract" button and set it to extract in the sstates folder. If you did correctly you'll get a message asking you to replace the old savestates, click confirm or rename the old savestates. Up to you

alliexcoeur (2007-05-30)

I'll try to make a video tutorial for those who are stuck... My instructions are real easy to follow, but obviously it IS a little complicated to perform.

alliexcoeur (2007-05-30)

Ok, for anyone having trouble getting through this little ordeal, I have hosted a webpage on geocities explaining the process with both pictures and text. Here is the link:

ReVarre (2007-05-30)

alliexcoeur do you know that I typed the method before you, I said I would be doing the tutorial before you etc.. You have just copied my ideas, I thank you for helping people but PLEASE don't be saying that you found out how to get past the buggy section since I told about the general idea of how to do it before you.
Yes, I am saying that it's I who came up with the fix.

alliexcoeur (2007-05-31)

I didn't say I "found out how", I said I've worked on a "simple solution" for readers to use, since you were not very explanatory with your strategy. I never took credit for anything, I only improvised on what you said, thank you very much.
You should thank me for taking the image tutorial off your hands. I never said anything about anything, my friend.

ReVarre (2007-05-31)

Well I do believe "I have worked on a "simple" solution, and it works!" is kinda like saying that you found out. But if you wanted me to believe that it meant "I have worked on >the< "simple" solution listed above" I appoligize.
I didn't say I wasn't grateful you took the tutorial off my hands, I am glad.. however from other experiences I felt as if you had been trying to steal from me yet again, if it's "honour", I do not know..
All I know is that I don't really care anymore, kthxbye.

kjellboy (2007-06-22)

/(¤%/. i cant get any further. i have read all the tips to go on but it doesnt work. i have the newest epsxe emulator. i'v tried to change the video config. and that did go straigt to H***
how can i fix that?

kjellboy (2007-06-22)

i forgot to mention. i'm at Forgotten City on Disk 2

Bottlenecks (2007-06-25)

The PC version of this game is made for retards, by retards. PSX RULES

alliexcoeur (2007-06-27)

Follow the instructions on the website dude. If you're not getting through that section of the game, it's because you didn't do the process correctly.
The PC version of FFVII did receive a bad rating, mainly because it was buggier, and the music blowed hard.

HeCelcius (2007-06-30)

If I burn these images, can I play it on my PSone ?
Thanx anyways...

HeCelcius (2007-07-01)

btw, it's a modded one...

br670405 (2007-07-03)

how do i do this on my mac i am really confused

keejer (2007-07-04)

i am using this ISO, but with the pSX emulator and not ePSXe. I still cannot find away to get around the forbidden city bug:(

HeCelcius (2007-07-04)

Eventually I've tested it out myself if this would work on a PSone(PS1) with a mod chip, and it does.

Kolkkero (2007-07-06)

..I don't get it.
This is not working. D: I have all the plugins and things, I have done everything the description says to do, but when I try to start the game, the screen turns black and does nothing. Before this file I have downloaded another .ISO -file for FF7, but it isn't working either. Could this be my video card's fault? It's still pretty good for a video card, I think, but I have tried nearly everything else.

alliexcoeur (2007-07-20)

To br67: Hum, dude, I have no idea about a max. First off, your emulator must be supported on a mac OS.
To Keejer: I only got my results from ePSXe. I wouldn't be able to tell you using psx emulator. I'd have to get the said emulator and try it out myself, but at the moment, I'm not really in a position to say I have time.
To Kolkkero: If the rest of your game works fine with your graphics card, then you should have no problem going through the problematic scene. The last thing I could advice you is to send me your savestate, preferrably, the memory card save. Then I could do it for you.
email me at alliexcoeur@rock.com

5005tse (2007-07-21)

Who messed the third CD up?...other than that no problems. The cd-drive configuration here fixes the forgotten capitals freeze and ePSXe rules. But why does the unpacker show that the #3CD-s *.img file is corrupt...guess Sephi will not get a beating from me

alliexcoeur (2007-07-23)

You will have to download the third disc again. My file isn't corrupted, and I'm sure a bunch of others don't have it corrupted.

thegame_45 (2007-07-27)

"7.4 Choose Pete's CD plugin (P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver 1.4) and press config, Select your interface at the top, if u have W2K or XP choose the raw reading one. then select what drive the game is mounted in and press ok"
If you have Vista how would you go with this step.

elprulb (2007-08-07)

ok so im having a problem on startup... i mounted the file through daemon tools.. but after the first screen where it says new game or continue... when i hit new game the screen just goes black... any ideas?

jakek812 (2007-08-16)

I'm having the same problem as el prulb, help?

Cloud2007 (2007-09-01)

Imo for the best psx Emulator go http://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/ get pSX_1_13 no plugins required just bios and rom and easy setup.
it alot better then epsxe where i got use too get slowdowns in FFVII battle scenes.

iddem (2007-09-25)

Does this work on a DVD disk on PSx?

pirategamer (2007-10-26)

could someone help me with this, whenever i get the ePSXe to work its shuts down

fubit (2007-11-01)

if I burn it onto CD (CDs) can I play it on my ps2?
and If I burn all three disks into 1 DVD(One!), will that work?

BboyHaRa (2007-11-07)

Very nice!
Mine works properly!
No virus at all... Thanks!

comrinec (2007-11-14)

DISK 2 IS CORRUPT!
You will never be able to get past the waterfall on disk 2 because the iso is corrupt. This is a well known issue with this release and has been going around for ages.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS TORRENT!

UltimaBurnie (2007-11-16)

I have the game files, the games loads up and runs and all that good stuff. But the problem is on the bottom part of the screen where you choose attack/defend and so on, its just black. Are my files corrupt or is there some mod on my video settings that could change that? Whatever it may be, please let me know.

UltimaBurnie (2007-11-16)

Nevermind, I figured it out. I had to change the Screen Compatibility Configuration. Phew, that is such a relief. But if anyone has any advice on how to make the sound better, if possible, please let me know.

Lof33 (2007-11-26)

Ok, I really need some help. I play on a Playstation 2, not an emulator, and I'm at the waterfall bug in the forgotten city on disc 2. Can anyone help me? Please?

Zakappletown (2008-01-16)

Disc 2 is Corrupt? Neither 7-zip or winRAR can open it. please help

Zinskey (2008-01-20)

Can I play this on my PS1? I used the "burn image" thing but it didn't work. When I looked on the drive on my computer, the CD was empty. Does CD R/W work on PS1 btw?

patrikzidane (2008-02-07)

about the CD2 bugg at bugenhagen and the key of the ancient:
Just mount it in daemon tools and then run it as a CD with the appropriate drive and it will all work like a charm..
@ Zinskey: are you sure its emty? ps1 cds tend to look empy but they are all hidden files.. on the other hand i have no idea if CDRW will work..

Paztro (2008-02-13)

I have this problem that when i starts the game, it`s all black. It dont work. i have done all the stuff that has been said here, but i cant get it to work. I have mounted it and installed all the plugins, but it may be because of the configurations. I dont know, but if there is anyone that know what i should do, I would be glad to know.

Mac help needed badly.
When I extract this torrent I get the usual 2 .iso files and the third disc is a .img file with two offset files(like .sub and somethin else). When I go to mount any of these files I get the message that the disc is not recognised. How do I go about sorting this out?
Ive spent alot of time trying to sort everything for this and this is really annoying me.
I ask that you try explain this as simply as possible as Im not too adept with Mac yet.
Cheers.

Argh, seed plox!

corroded (2008-03-08)

just tried patrikzidane's suggestion about the waterfall bug and it worked like a charm
no need for fancy switching of disks. just use alcohol(or daemon tools) and mount the disk 2 in one of your virtual drives. then, load the it as a cd(if you are using psx v1.11 like me: File > Insert CD Drive) and voila.
You get to see the scene + fmv too(no black screens). :)

whiteghost76 (2008-03-15)

For anyone having trouble with the black screen on start up, instead of burning or mounting the image, click run iso on ePSXE and select the image

blckpearl012 (2008-03-18)

wow... you rock for doing this!
but i just had a couple of questions; what version is this FF7 game?
also, whenever i tried to mount the .iso onto daemon then "open cd-rom", ePSXe freezes on me.
hope to hear from you!

Anorther (2008-03-20)

Hey hey :) I had a problem in the beginning of the game, when I came into combat it crashed, but I downloaded the bios and it functioned again... Now I rescued Aeris from Reno, and we're leaving to sector 7... It crashes again when I get into combat...
I'm currently running it on a pcsx.. Only good PSX emulator for mac.
Using the plugins P.E.Op.S SoftGL Driver v1.1.16 for graphics. P.E.Op.S OSS Audio Driver v1.1.9 for sound. ASimpleInput v1.0.0 for the controller and CD-ROM Device Interface v0.1.0.. I'm running this via mounts and not cd's...
_Update: The image just freezes when i get into combat, and the sound keeps playing one note...
helphelp...
ps: can't install the plugins you said, and I can't find the "nice" button in the graphics menu either :P

Ryan.r (2008-03-21)

When I try to go through the movie of where they just get on an airship that's taking off in disk one the screen screwes up and the sound keeps repeating, and one know how to fix it?

Ryan.r (2008-03-21)

PrinnyGod (2008-03-24)

Hey i was just wondering. I finished downloading the files and whatnot but how do i get the picture and sound to be in-sync.
The sound is extremly slow compared to the original.
email: voidspawn1212@yahoo.com

PrinnyGod (2008-03-24)

and how do you unzip files and mount them
i'm kinda lost...

Ryan.r (2008-03-29)

To unzip, i recomend using 7zip, try google searching it.

shadowclaw1012 (2008-04-06)

Pls help reely want to play game

Rexoar (2008-04-08)

I'm at the coal city and have to take the ropeway to gold saucer. when i do that the game crashes and goes to not responding.. Does anyone have any solution?

themeanxtime (2008-04-08)

Reading this thread I noticed that a lot of mac users are having some trouble running this game.
I am going explain what I did to run it and hopefully I can help someone out.
I am using an Imac Power PC G5
with 1.8ghz and 1G RAM
1) Download PCSX it's a a great psx emulator
2) Once the files are downloaded extract the using 7-zip (yes, it is available for mac you should find it with a quick google search)
3)You will see that all the disk's are in .ISO files, all you have to do is go on disk 1, press Control Click and click on Mount It. The game will appear on your desktop as if it was a cd is your cd drive.
4) Open up PCSX and click File-> Run Disk and FF7 should start up.
I did not change any of the plug-ins
The game works fine except when you enter battle it slows down.I played around with the setting to no avail. If someone has a fix for this please let me know!
I hope I was of some help to mac users.

Japanties (2008-04-18)

For some reason the overworld movement in mine moves really really fast, as well as the music, but when i'm in battle, the movement goes back to normal. Any way to slow the overworld movement donw?

czjl (2008-04-25)

Hey i'm using the pcsx on mac to play the game and have had no problems (other than the slowing of battles) thus far. However, im currently stuck at the waterfall scene in disc 2 with the same glitch. However, im not able to use the proposed solution as mentioned in earlier posts as the save state function in pcsx isn't stable. Any one have better luck?

AssassinXaero (2008-04-26)

I'm having an issue with the game starting... I have it mounted and installed all the plugins correctly and did the config correctly... I think... it runs, but it just shows some type of short credits, then the title screen, and goes back to the credits and just runs those over and over on a loop... How can I get the actual game to start?

AssassinXaero (2008-04-26)

Never mind... it was some controller issue... all fix now, and thanks for the awesome download!

04izzy (2008-04-27)

hey there! i really wanna play this game and i'm a complete noob at this. took me some time to even find where to comment. well here my problem i've downloaded it but it's been downloaded as lime wire and it wont "open in the 7 zippy thingy which means it can't open it in daemons tools which also leads to the fact that i don't know how to mount it onto a drive.
It trust this ins't too much of a problem for you to solve.
btw i thank you soooo much for this game i've been wanting ot play it for ages :D

04izzy (2008-04-27)

p.s That idiot again.izzy. how are you going to reply so just to make sure would it be possible to send it to my email please.
cutiexkitten@hotmail.co.uk

04izzy (2008-04-27)

Izzy yet again err... when i checked the downloaded file it was in the incompleted section but on the search window it said it was completed 100% downloaded

04izzy (2008-04-27)

hehe sorry to bother dont reply to any of my problems i kind of solved it now :D thank you so much you helped me alot

04izzy (2008-04-28)

hello its izzy the game starts fine but after i get past new game it just stop with a blank black screen but thi may be because my resolution configuration setting is window mode with size 640 x 480 stretching: to full window size Dithering (whateverthat means):always dither g-shaded polygons (slowest)(i ued window mode since it didn't support the NICE default settings for resolution)
Is it ok if you help me out i really want to play the game and if anyone else could help me if you've read this:D i'd be very grateful

Detail87 (2008-05-01)

I've got a question for anyone out there who might have an answer:
I'm playing the game on 1.6.0 and I'm at the part where you get on the rope tram to go to the Golden Saucer. During the cut scene, the emulator freezes and won't respond.
I've tried playing in 1.5.2 and swapping over save states but it hasn't worked. Any ideas?
I also tried to play in psx 1.13 but I couldn't get the game to load.
Has anyone else had this problem, found a fix, or know of any other torrents to replace the bugged? disc?

dexninja (2008-05-02)

Works Perfect!
Best config i found to be was.
Video: Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.8
Audio: P.E.Op.S. DSound Audio Driver 1.9
CD-Rom: ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.5.2.
Just google them all.
Thanks uploader.

lord mongee (2008-05-11)

redsax (2008-05-11)

Hi AssassinXaero, how did you fix it?
I have the exact same problem as yours:
"I'm having an issue with the game starting... I have it mounted and installed all the plugins correctly and did the config correctly... I think... it runs, but it just shows some type of short credits, then the title screen, and goes back to the credits and just runs those over and over on a loop...

but could not find a way to fix it.
Thanks!

_theunknown_ (2008-05-19)

I've been looking for FF VII for ages now I own a PSx but still no where in the UK have it, and can't use the US disks; so eBay's off limits...

Right...I've followed every single instruction so far correctly...ONE PROBLEM...I'm a mac user...thankfully I think I may have solved it myself:
1) There is no "Daemon Tools" for OSX, OSX has it's own mounting capabilities.
2) I found a MacOS/PSx emulator: http://pcsx.gpost.dk/
3) The plug-ins you mention? Are they mandatory?
Not finished the download, will post the results for fellow mac users.

_theunknown_ (2008-05-19)

nope...erm...help??

then download a bios
"scph7502.bin" PAL EUROPE
or
"scph1001.bin" USA (also google one of these)
2) To extract donload 7zip (google 7zip)
3) To burn Recoment alcohol 120% "free" on tpb

smrtbeenr (2008-06-23)

Hey dagreat, i have the same problem, except my screen goes black at the same exact part. let me know if you find a solution

pinkxenjoi (2008-06-24)

whenever i try toplay the mounted file, a black window pops up then minimizes and then nothing happens

dagreat1706 (2008-06-26)

hey smrtbeenr, i found the solution, its on page 3 of the comments, jsut try it a couple of times, it worked for me after i like tried it and got bored and then i tried it once more and it worked, lol :D, hope it works for u too!!!

mungohoden (2008-07-04)

Solved the ancient blackscreen problem for me:
i did as advised on page 3, but it didnt work until i mounted the images using deamon tools then set the cd plugin of epsxe to "read subchannel" (or similar) and did the wierd cd change action using the mounted cds, you may have to specify wich cdrom drive epsxe will use though

Raep-FIN (2008-07-05)

Just d/l:ed the CD2 from this torrent, sorry, but that's all I need. My original CD2 is not in healthy condition, freezes in the cutscene where Sister Ray shoots Diamond WEAPON and The Northern Barrier. Opening disc cover does not help, so I'm sure the original disc has lost some information due scratches and stuff.
But what the hell anyway, THANKS a lot!

wobzilla (2008-07-08)

You can play copied games on your psx even if it's not chipped. just fire them on a disk with imgburn or whatever. open the psx and look at the underside of the lid. you'll see a bit sticking out. this presses onto a button to let the psx know that the lid is shut. find the button and stick some bluetack or something into it to keep it down. now put in an original game (i use the demo) and power on the psx with the lid open. turn down your tv so that you can hear the c.d. motor. listen to the motor and when it speeds up, take the original game out and stick in the copied one. if you did this right, the black screen will come up with the playstation logo. keep listening, just after the black screen appears the motor will slow down again. it will then speed up for a few seconds. when it slows down again stick in the original game again and watch the tv screen. when the playstation logo dissapears (it only takes half a second so be quick) stick the copied game back in and you're done. continued below

wobzilla (2008-07-08)

it's a pain in the hole the first few times but you'll get the hang of it. what actually happens is that there's a code burnt onto all playstation games near the center of the disk where a normal cd burner can't reach. when the motor is going at the slow speed, it is reading this code, so an original game has to be in the ps. once it speeds up though, the ps is reading game data, so change the disk fast or you'll end up with fucked up music. if you want more info just google "playstation double swap"

psychosoda (2008-08-04)

evilkiller65 (2008-08-19)

The game is crashing on the Forgotton City at the waterfall. I have followed both ReVarre and alliexcoeur instructions but the fix doesn't work upto No 4, I have tried it many times!
Is anyone willing to download my save, get past the crash for me and then immediately save it for me outside? =) It would be greatly appreciated.

Sunderland06 (2008-08-26)

For some reason, after they jump off the train at the beggining it starts going really slow and stuttery, and is impossible to play. Also in the first fight the menu does not appear for attacks etc. I'm just wondering if it could have somethng to do with this download, or my plugins.
I have;
*Video = Pete's D3D Driver 1.77
*Sound = Eternal SPU Plugin 1.41
*CDr (not using) = P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver 1.4
I am using the correct bio which is Scph1001.bin, before the train scene, the opening stage with the stars, Aeris, then the scene where it changes from the ShinRa building and the train. Then it goes all crappy. Also when I downloaded this using uTorrent it said files were missing, but it started fine. If any one can help, please do. Thanks.

hey allie or rev can you plx i give you my save state and you fix and send me back please been trying this for 4 hours and nothing!"!

Nightzev (2008-10-03)

Hey, I downloaded this ff7, love it, though found out that it doesn't save with my psx emulator, I would love to say it was the emulator, though another game has successfully saved, and still had it after I close the emulator, has anyone else have this problem?

Menah (2008-10-10)

Hey, I have a small problem with CD 3, I am at the infamous blackscreen place at CD 2, and when I wanted to do the disc switch trick, I found out the problem with my CD 3.
My problem is that, when I unzip it with 7zip, instead of just becoming 1 file, it divided into 3 files.
1st is a CCD-file filling 1kb
2nd is an IMG-file filling 644.102 KB
3rd is a SUB-file Filling 26.290 KB
All of them are named:
Final Fantasy 7 [CD3][SCES-20867].the type of file
Does anyone have a simple solution for me or do I have to download the whole thing again? I'd really like to know, cause the same thing happened with 2 of the CD's of my FF8 game :P
My email address is: sofusberg@hotmail.com
Thanks for your time.

Nightzev (2008-10-12)

nvm, I found the problem about the memory card, it only saves the file you create the memory card with, and now have another problem with the game, same as people before, where the old man put the key in, then once I enter the waterfall, the screen goes blank, but I can still walk forward, then it flashes the screen with the three party members, and that old guy, but then it goes blank, and makes a static like noise for a second while the screen is black, and the noise is recurring when the screen is black, so can I get some help please

Menah (2008-10-12)

To Nightzev, try what is listed on page 3, it should work.
And btw, I found the solution for my problem. I can just run the CCD file and everything is ok.
Though, the disc switch thing sadly doesn't work for me, and my computer is acting up a bit when I try to mount the image with Daemon tools.

Aginor (2008-10-21)

a VERRY important addition to the ReVarre/alliexcoeur tactic to get through the Frogotten City waterfall crash:
_It's NOT working with ePSXe 1.7.0_
after failing several dozen times i checked the pics at alliexcoeurs guide at geocities more carefully, an' saw that he was using ePSXe __1.6.0__ so i downloaded that verision, an' after a few tries, it worked out fine =)

elaijts (2008-10-24)

Okay, can anyone help me, as many other I'm stuck at the waterfall/bugenhagen black screen bug.
I've already tried all the previous suggestions but cannot get it to work.
Please help me, drop me a mail on elaijts@gmail.com or contact me on messenger with the same adress

chaoswithin (2008-10-26)

has anybody done the white materia waterfall bit using psxfin?
is the psxfin and epsxe save state exactly the same type of file.. if so can somebody leave me a message and do the waterfall bit for me and send me the save state after the waterfall.... please!!!

mexoli (2008-11-05)

ok soo... the ancient city thing... same problem as everyone else... i tried what alliexcoeur said to do, but every time i change it to disc 3 it keeps fading... and when i switch back it doesnt play the movie... is it supposed to do that? anyways its an awesome torrent thanks! any help would be nice!

mexoli (2008-11-05)

nevermind!

Vinni_NL (2008-11-06)

All right... I've been trying and searching and downloading for the past week now and i've had it... CD1 and 2 were flawless, except for the fact I had to overburn them and thus created some rather bugged cd's but that's not due to this great torrent! CD3 on the other hand...... Is proving to be more than i can handle. I have (probably) the latest version of WinZip on my rather old computer. Now, when i download the CD3 file it works perfectly fine, i get a packed winzip file of about 412 mb, normal. I unzip it and then starts the chaos. It reveals 3 files: a WinZip img. file of 612 mb, a CCD file and a SUB file. Whenever i try to even open the img. file it says: internal error processing iso file... This happened every single time and i tried downloading it more than i can count on my hands.... so, please please let me finish the game.....
thanks

reilsel_0617 (2008-11-08)

found the solution to the waterfall black screen bug in disc two.
no need to switch discs or follow Allie Coeur's complicated instructions.
1. download daemons tools lite:
2. mount your ISO file into the virtual drive
3. run ePSxe 1.7 and choose "run CD-ROM"
4. after talking to Bugenhagen an fmv will appear

davi1897 (2008-11-10)

I'm running the game on pSX_1.13. When I try to unzip CD 3, I get three different files. SCES-20867.ccd, SCES-20867.img, SCES-20867.sub. Everytime I try opening one I get an improper header message. PLEASE someone HELP ME!!!!! I really want to finish this game but I can't play CD 3. I tried mounting it with Deamon tools but it still won't work.

Any advice would be great. Thanks.

i m having the same problems as a lot of people in cd2 in ancient city, could someone help me to solve the problem or receive my safe file and pass that part????
thx

dvallej (2009-02-05)

the solution is to use ePSXe v1.6.0, not the current version

r72666 (2009-04-07)

GUYS! I FINALLY FOUND A SOLUTION! I started the game from a quick-load just before the scene. Then I waited for the part that it hangs, then mounted the disc 2 ISO file in a virtual DVD drive, then chose to play the file from a cd-drive instead of an image. Just find an emulator that can run off the file directly from a virtual drive. (pSX v1.13) GOOD LUCK!

Darkstar81 (2009-05-28)

I have 1 small issue with this torrent when i got to the end of disc 2 the city of the ancients bit during the fmv on the waterfall there is data missing and it wont get past it if any1 else had same problem could u let me no how u fixed it also this disc should be 698 meg not 488 it makes me wonder what else u cut out of it please dont shrink down ur torrents by cuttin stuff out it so annoying to play that much of a game only to find out its useless i now gotta download disc 2 from some1 else

Darkstar81 (2009-05-28)

DO NOT download this torrent it useless as some1 has cut out alotta fmv stuff makin it more prone to crash only get this game off of trusted people

Doctrinius (2009-05-29)

I've read through a lot of the proposed fixes to the infamous bug at the end of CD 2 with Bugenhagen.
I'm grateful for the people who have contributed, but I simply cannot get it to work. I've tried the method laid out on page 3 of the comments several times, and here's my problem. I get to the part where you're supposed to change the CD to disc 3, at which point the characters are supposed to freeze and be unable to move. This doesn't happen to me, instead, the game simply progresses to the same buggy black screen with the "error" sound regardless of whether I change CDs or not.
If anyone has any solution I'd be very grateful. Thanks.

FixedmyFF (2009-06-14)

Those of you having trouble with the black screen near the end of disc 2.
First go into "Config Cdrom" in your epsxe.
and I chose P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver 1.4
Then I loaded up disc 2 in Daemon tools instead of running the iso from epsxe
Then I loaded up my saved state.
This method worked out great for me.. just in time.. I was going to lose it trying that iso change method (which i guess would have worked in 1.6.0_) good luck

kaniboy1986 (2009-06-19)

whats with disc 3 there is no image file in the rar (unless it didnt download correctly) well i got img but that aint an iso like the rest what do i do with it

kaniboy1986 (2009-06-19)

I redownloaded it over nite still the same i got a img ccd and a sub file what do i do with them and fixed my if i get the crash prob im tryin ur way which will be soon

Confirmed. English PAL version works perfect on both PSone and ePSXe emulator. Thank you uploader.

DarGreax (2009-08-09)

Hey i know this must be asked alot but how can you fix the problem where it keeps repeating the credits

benikens (2009-08-17)

just downloaded it and works fine except that when the first fights starts the bottom of the screen where you select your attacks etc is blacked out, i read through all 200+ comments and saw a few others mentioned this issue but no solutions. im running this in vista atm and have had issues with other games cause of the fail OS but i assumed that cause the emulator is working fine it shouldnt be an issue.
if you know a way to fix this please feel free to email me at ismellgod@hotmail.com

Hey everyone having a problem at the waterfall @ city of ancients crash, refer to page 3! it works

TheIceDr4g0n (2009-11-18)

When Bugenhagen gets to the part where he says
"Look! Look at the image projected on the screen of the water!" My Screen Turns Black and even though I tried to follow ReVarre's guide to getting past this part it still doesnt work! The picture guide website doesnt work anymore neither and I need that or a video guide on how to get past this part. would really appreciate help on this.

cynikal89 (2009-12-04)

I'm having the same problem as many others and I've looked through all these comments for fixes, tried them and was unsuccessful.
When I Press escape the first time before the characters fade, and switch disks, they still fade away and nothing happens. This is REALLY. REALLY. Frustrating. Can anyone post a more indepth fix or a working Disk 2 torrent? Thanks.

cynikal89 (2009-12-04)

Well, I've searched arround more and it seems like running the disk on CD-Rom should do the trick.
I'm having a problem with this however: When any of the 3 disks on Daemon tools lite, 4.30.0027 and boot up the game, nothing displays. I'm assuming this is because the game isn't starting up.
I have P.E.Op.S cd-rom plugin, and I tried to set it up the best I could, and it's not getting me anywhere... Does anyone have any ideas?

cynikal89 (2009-12-04)

I got it working finally
FIX FOR THE BLACK SCREEN AT THE END OF DISK 2 (city of ancients waterfall)
1) Mount the file with Daemon tools
2)Make sure you have the P.E.Op.S cd-rom plugin
YOU MUST CONFIG THE PLUG-IN (Read the read me, it explains it pretty well)
3) Run ePSXe
4) Click File-> CD Rom... And you're all done!
Best of luck to everyone.

DLED BEFORE AND DOWNLOADING AGAIN , MAN THANKS AGAIN , THIS IS A NICE TORRENT :)

chemoqazwsx (2010-01-01)

Anyone know how to stop that waterfall glitch using PSXfin. Or how to convert PSXfin quicksave files to ePSXe ones.

SNES_VS_PS1 (2010-01-13)

dakhguy (2010-01-13)

does this work on a chipped ps2 console

daycab (2010-01-21)

First, if I burn this will it run on a PS3?
and second, why are all of you screwing around with emulators when you can download the same game in a PC version?

Torrent245 (2010-02-05)

.7z files, bah!

L.exe.M (2010-03-02)

@daycab
1. Nope, unless your ps3 is modded, and even then there currently arent any reliable modding methods with-out a high probability of damaging your system.
2. Short and simple answer PSX version has anti aliasing, and PC version lacks that.

stupid4life666 (2010-03-06)

heyy can someone help me please....im stuck at the part where you put the key into the temple of the acients..he puts it into the hole and says "oh hoo" and it just shows him floating there..ive tried every soultion on here and still nothing..help!?

Crowleyyy (2010-03-19)

The plugin links are dead in the water, anyone know where to find them? I've looked everywhere.

-Tukeduke- (2010-03-21)

I've read these pages through, but I couldn't find info about disc 3 problem.
In othe 7.zip files there was a clear .iso file, but in the 3rd there was .CCD, .IMG and .SUB files.
What should be done in this situation?
I tried to download the torrent again, but it didn't help.

smp-snowman (2010-05-21)

tukeduke i have the same problem as you, the 3rd disc is actually 3 separate files rather than an image file, what do T_T

Teh_Sir (2010-06-27)

IF ANYONE IS GETTING HALF BLACK SCREEN OVER THE COMMAND BOX THEN
you should go into Video Configuration in your espxe and change "off-screen drawing" to "enhanced", and it works. Enjoy =)

Death214 (2010-08-26)

Page 9,user cynikal89 has the solution for the cd2 issue,in my opinion the most simple one here.If you need that configuration he/she spoke of,take this.

hooray4vuze (2010-09-06)

Forgotten city glitch solution :)
1.after the key is inserted into the music box and you see the FMV of the waterfall save your game using ePSXe save state feature. do not enter the waterfall just yet
2.using deamon tools lite mount the final fantasy 7 disc 2 iso file to the E drive(that should be the default drive)
3. close out of the ePSXe and re-open it, go to the configuration section and choose cdrom
4.my plugin for this is ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.7.0., and i left this as it was. hit the configure button on this screen
5.the screen that pops up should say select cdrom letter, and it will be on first cdrom, change that to E
6.hit okay and then from the ePSXe chooose run cdrom intead of iso
7.then hit escape and load up your save state in front of the waterfall, the glitch should now be gone and you can switch back to an iso file after you leave the forgotten city. wish i figured this out before i lost 8 hours if power training before hand hahah peace!

MajorParts (2010-10-25)

What is this cd-rom thing everyone keeps talking about? P.E.Op.S cd-rom plugin? Can someone provide a very basic and thorough step by step walkthrough on how to get this working? Right now I can't open ePSXe.exe because it says burutter.dll was not found, and i can see burutter.dll right next to ePSXe.exe does anyone know what the problem is?

kajetan30 (2012-03-12)

I have a problem because after I see a squaresoft logo is a credits and again again. what shouldI do?

Paweuuu (2012-05-12)

I've passed through the forgotten city crash ! it's quite easy...
If you are playing on ePSXe 1.7.0 you need to do exacly what i say :)
1. Download ePSXe 1.6.0 (copy all plugins and bios from 1.7.0 folder)
2. Playing 1.7.0 Save state 1 just before entering the waterfall
3. Copy Save states from ePSXe 1.7.0 folder to 1.6.0
4. Enter waterwall useing ePSXe 1.6.0 and do the following:
A. Now enter the room and wait for the black screen and run forward.
When Bugenhagen gets to the part where he says
"Look! Look at the image projected on the screen of the water!"
press the circle button to continue and your screen will flash with the
characters standing. Press ESC before it fades completely,
and change your disc to the 3rd disc.
B. It will fade back in to the characters who aren't doing anything.
Press ESC again and this time, load the 2nd disc. A FMV will play.
C. After the FMV, the screen will turn black and you will have to go
through a bunch of text... you will hear error messages now and then
but don't worry about it. As soon as cloud starts talking about
Sephiroth, hit ESC and save state to slot 2.
Continue and You will hear one last error message when
there is no more text. Run downwards and wait for the screen to flash
With Bugenhagen standing. Press ESC, and load the 3rdDisc.
D.When you're back outside, press ESC again and load disc 2.
(this guide is not mine it's on page 3)
5. Now Save state !
6. Copy save states from 1.6.0 to 1.7.0
7. Enjoy (you can delete whole 1.6.0 folder)
kajetan30 - if you see credis for the whole time you need to change your controller configuration from DUAL SHOCK to normal digital (dont worry about analogs they will still work)

LaciBug (2012-12-16)

I just downloaded ePSXe 1.80 and I'm stuck. I don't know what to do now.

Strigidae (2013-02-05)

Anyone found a way to solve the disc 2 waterfall issue on a PSP 3001 with 6.60 pro b9?

xZEINZUx (2013-06-26)

Playable on PCSX2? I already have that emulator and have no desire to download a PS1 emulator...
