Honestly you dont need any of the patches for the first download so you can jsut choose to not download them and save some time and space. As for the 2nd download which is all patches and mods, i only used these.
1. ff7 v1.02 official patch 3. YAMP - Yet Another Multi-Patcher by dziugo 4. Higher quality Cloud mod by Dreakon 5.b) NPC Reconstruction Project for FF7PC 0.6 mod by Borde+ice_cold513+Stormmedia 6. New Spell Patch by zero887. Advent Avatars mod by Wuz
I actually didnt use the v1.02 patch but if you want to use it go ahead but first, do a maximum install and then explore all the CDs and take everything from Data\Movies and put it into (where ever you installed FF7)\data\Movies. you will have to create the movies directory. THEN you can use the v1.02 patch the others are fairly easy to apply except for the mode reconstruction that one took a while for me but it was definitely worth it.
also its a bit of a pain but its the only way i could get it to work properly, go here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=24da89e9-b581-47b0-b45e-492dd6da2971&displaylang=en and install the very bottom download named "Application Compatibility Toolkit.msi" install and all the good stuff then from the start menu open the Compatibility Manager then under System Database drop down Applications then type "F" and itll take it to the F's then find Final Fantasy Vii then itll show on the right all the things that will fix it then scroll down to the last ff7.exe and at the top hit "Run..." and go to the directory where FF VII is installed and choose FFVII.exe (the one you use to play) then itll play perfectly. its alot of instructions but in reality it only took me about 15 min to completely get all the patches and play.
w8 is there way to turn those cheats off? Das Christenthum ist eine Metaphysik des Henkers... -Friedrich Nietzsche People said i suffer from of insanity since the day i was born,but I've never suffered from insanity, I enjoy every moment of it. -Edgar Alan Poe
you mean the Lucky Tifa and Caiot Sith thing, yes. With the YAMP you will copy a folder "patches" a file "Skerb" and an install...batch file maybe i dont remember anyways the patches you want installed are in the patches folder, if you dont want them installed remove them from the patches folder. its all in the instructions.txt file
