I wanted to mod Final Fantasy VII using LayeredFS. I actually want only to replace 1 file (kernel.bin). However when I place kernel.bin in the correct folder structure it does not work. However when I downloaded NT mod for Final Fantasy VII that uses LayeredFS it worked. So using whole mod works but replacing single file does not? WTF is wrong with it?

I think you are expecting something to work in a way that it doesn't. What you want to achieve?
This is the most not helpful answer you could write. Congrats.
You just repeated first post.
He's asking what you're trying to do with your modding. He knows you're trying to use a new kernel.bin, but what did you edit/what are you trying to achieve BY REPLACING it?
A bit of characters edition, item edition and removed Sephiroth's autobattle script to make him controllable.
I'm asking because not everything from kernel is used. VII newest version is a coding mess.
Delete titleid folder, put kernel.bin again to new titleid fresh folder, run game, close it and check if in titleid folder is romfs_metadata.bin
If it's there, layeredfs is working. So either issue is with file itself or you put file to wrong folder.

File romfs_metadata.bin always gets created. File works fine with both PC and PS1 version and it is impossible to put it in wrong folder.
PS1 definitely. PC not so much. It is based on PC version (probably newer). But no matter what version it is (if it is PS1 or old PC or new PC) kernel.bin always the same.
File may be the same, but I am saying that game itself may not use all of is parts in newer release in favor of some hardcoded functions or different file.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
