I'm the one who arranged this pack. I did include updated menu graphics for all languages since I had the opportunity to do so. I have only heard about save corruption from those who attempted to merge their vanilla save with NT, but I am curious to hear about this vanishing Vincent bug, where have you heard that? As far as exe edits, we are trying to avoid that as much as we can, until we cant.


Well not only Vincent vanished.... He turned up in the north crater and you wont believe this but he was called Sephiroth in deafult make of that what you will but i have finished the game.

Which version were you using? Cottonmouse's?

I finally got to Vincent in my 1.4. I don't recall how you got him in vanilla, but this is how I got him now:

The basement key is NOT in the safe, instead its in a golden chest on the same screen. The manuscript on the first floor tells you as much. This means you don't have to fight the boss to get Vincent, a boss which is supposed to be pretty tough in this mod.

Anyway head on down, get right at the foot of the coffin (its sensitive on location), and press A. Have a chat about Sephiroth, then he will go back to sleep. Press A again and talk to him once more. Press A a third time and he will tell you to leave. Head back towards upstairs and then he should stop you and join you. (You might have to talk to Sephiroth in the lab/library first.)

I would like to play FF7 but I can’t get over the fact how ridiculously bad this looks

Ok so can't get through the nibelheim sephiroth sequence. (And i select full story) without a complete crash. I saved right before, reset the switch and tried and still no avail. Im playing in handheld mode not docked, I'm unsure if this will have any affect on the memory. Any suggestions of what i can try?

I just ran completely through this sequence (where cloud tells the party in Kalm what happened right?) twice with fast forward / combat boost enabled. I did stop for several random battles along the way.

Is there a consistent place where the crash happens? Is it when transitioning between scenes, or might it be hitting a random battle? (Try turning battles off?) There should be the option to save after you open one of the reactor pods and the FMV with the monster coming out, do you even get that far?

Also what CFW are you running and any services you know of? Some may be taking up memory, you might try disabling them temporarily to see if it works.

Running the latest Atmosphere as of about 3 days ago? i think edison runs in the background by default so ill try uninstalling that and seeing if it helps.

it usually happens when sephiroth leaves the mansion after all the reading (minimal spoilers) and you go outside to the scene of you know what.

On your SD card where the mod is installed, in atmosphere\titles\0100A5B00BDC6000\romfs\ff7\workingdir\data , is there a "movies" folder? Try moving or deleting it if so.

definitely no movies folder, ill try and do it with edizone disabled and see what happens. Does doing the short story option remove any chance of items or anything? cus i can also try that option.

Yeah it will skip all of that. Although I'd like to figure out why you are crashing too.

You can also try this version, which is just pure New Threat 1.4 without any of the graphical mods, to see if it gets you through that part. Be sure to wipe out your ff7 folder to get the old mod data out before installing.

I am using this one


New Threat
ChaOS
Anxious Heart .ogg OST

Extract to atmosphere\titles or sxos\titles. This is for the English version. No idea how to change it for other languages, sorry.

https://mega.nz/#!dg0QAC4I!mu0ffBVT968d2Ga_nx8Qa5LkyB_o2WJqo8FgoxJu6kI

I really wanted the graphics mod... the full graphic mod with the full screen battle and the newly redone text boxes along with the change of ost. Also to be able ro skip certain stuff like NT that would be nice.

That one has not fixed texture sizes and they're still too big for the game. I wish I could get everybody to delete their installed mods and just install this one instead, it would save us a lot of headache and troubleshooting: https://mega.nz/#!H081mQxC!cKlBa_Vwy_eTjc7y5R2IhqHAU-eY5Y73pbeMiO63iPk
It has all those things you've listed, plus fixed source points and corrected texture resolutions for ChaOS.

This is the one I'm using the only thing I've done is changes the magic names ie bolt 1, bolt 2 to thunder and thundara and added a movie mod that makes the chibi models look like the chaos ones.

So i blasted through with no battles and 3X speed, also disabled edizone and saved half way through the story sequence and i got past it. Currently crossing the marsh with no crashes as of yet, so fingers crossed.

Hi, :)

I'm a bit confused, how do you manage to apply mods ? Is there a way/tool to unpack the game folders from a .xci file ?

I’d do some research and have a look through this thread. You basically have to place mods in a certain folder depending on what CFW you use. Be warned though mods don’t work on SX OS 2.6.1

This is the one I'm using the only thing I've done is changes the magic names ie bolt 1, bolt 2 to thunder and thundara and added a movie mod that makes the chibi models look like the chaos ones.

Brah have you got a link to the movie mods and how did you rename the spells?
