Final Fantasy VII NES Hack Released, confirmed working on NesDS

[user64]

Been playing this on NesDS, it's a really great demake/rom hack. Also seems to work well on fceugx.

Seems neat. I might lookup the pokemon hack later.

Can't get this to work at all..

did you follow the instructions and patch a clean rom? did you, by mistake, use both patches? are you using an emu with mapper 163 support?

Yeah, try a few different emulators. I tried the original and the english patched rom on nester mac, and they worked fine, but the full game did not work on that emulator. The same patched ROM worked on my DS and Wii, though.

a few people are reporting that the final patch doesn't work on emus which previously supported it. there are some translation suggestions, materia name suggestions, and even a few bugs that have popped up. perhaps when those fixes are applied the patched rom/emu issue will get looked at.

It may be a question of whether the patch is now abusing some inaccurate emulation, or perhaps has some new code which faulty emulators can't accurately follow up on.

Such is an issue when developing mainly with an emulator rather than hardware

It's impressive to say the least. But I lol'ed when I faced Tonberry's and Marlboro's before the first reaktor. They spammed Holy on me (it seems to be a low power spell in this game).
With all the work they've put into this, it's a litle bit of a letdown that they totally destroy the epicness of powerful enemies and spells by having you face them right on.
The music is not spot on but they have done a better job then what I expected with some tracks. But sometimes it's better to turn the sound off if you don't want an headache.

Final fantasy 7 on the NES !! awsome.

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

It doesn't work on some emulators (Like Nestopia) which is unfortunate. It is confirmed working on Fceux though

That sucks, wonder why it doesn't work on Nestopia.

apparently there is no way to control the random enemy placement. it looks like it would need an asm hack or something beyond the skill set of the current rom hacker. the level of difficulty in some areas is much higher than it should be due to this problem. i was headed to the second avalanche mission and got bombarded with 5 enemy fights all much more powerful than my weak party and their 15 potions.

i'm playing it on NesDS daily. the problem is something on your end. did you verify the rom by CRC as being clean? the two most popular names and the clean chinese rom crc value are in the first post. you must apply the patch to the correct clean chinese rom or it won't work. you must also be sure that you do not apply both patches found in the download. the author should not have included both patches, it is only confusing everyone.

So i didnt see this anywhere but what is the rom we must use to patch? im new to this whole thing and i really wanna play this.

 

[NariIro]

NVM found it, just missed the OP post saying what it was

 

[Razzyness]

I dont know whats wrong, I can't seem to run it on my nesds emulator, I was able to run the patched rom fine on my pc. It's just a black screen on my ds

I just ran it fine on my ds running nesds. only thing is im missing the background when in battle and my letters seem to be cut off just a bit, and i cant run (used lunar patch with the final version patch.)

 

[Razzyness]

then I have no idea whats wrong.. As I can run the patched rom fine on VirtualNESex. I can run the patched and clean file fine on my pc but patched/clean doesn't work on nesds, just a black screen pops up.

Did you check the CRC number before the patch?
