Problem with FF7 patch(no-cd)

[voronwe]

Hey there, i got a Patch(No-Cd Crack) for my FF7 from megagames.com (it's called FF7Riva.zip).
When i use the the "Patch.com" it says:

Opening File : [ ff7.exe ]
Searching Progress: .....

Error: bytes not found
closing file

press a key to exit

And it creates "*.p" filetypes into my FinalFantasy folder.

If i try to start the game, there pops up a blackscreen (no message like "insert cd1 ...") and then it throws me back to my desktop.
Any hints or solutions where the problem could be?

Thanks for reading and think of possible solutions ;)

edit: allready tried "refreshlock"

That patch is not for your version of the game; read the patch docs. Also, are you sure this is a no-CD patch; can't it be some fix for nVidia Riva video cards (it has a suspicious file name!)?

whoops, maybe it is just a graphic patch ... hum, but why the message with "insert CD" doenst apper, really strange.
Do you know any other No-Cd cracks than at megagames.com ?

Sorry, I don't have this game and never searched for its no-CD patches...

On GameCopyWorld is listed that FF7 does not have a copy protection.
Please scan the game files with Protection_ID (http://pid.gamecopyworld.com/ProtectionID.html) or Aray Scanner (http://www.aray-software.com/) and tell us the results.
If it's only a simple CD-Check, then perhaps Joe, CDKiller or BarryB can help you....

I made a NoCD myself for the FFVII v1.4 unofficial XP Patch!

I've uploaded both XP Patch and NoCD to Rapidshare, try it and see if it works for you:

No prob GLH, I wasn't looking for fame :)

I just happened to re-install it a few weeks ago along with FFVIII and decided to make my own NoCD's for them. Seeing as no FFVII cracks for the XP patch exist, I think, I thought I'd share mine.

Hi Barry B,

Know its like 3 years since this topic was active... but any chance you still have that no -cd crack available for FF7.

Thanks in advance
