Which files you can not delete?
The archive (zip, rar, ...) or the extracted files? What error message get you, when you try to delete the files? |
It was the "Ff8nocd.exe" and the message it was something like this "You can't delete this file, because is in use for other program. Close that program first." but a friend told me that i need turn off the pc for 5 or more minutes. Then I try to delete again that file and it works. :)
Still I have that Strange DVD Pal Version :rolleyes: , and the game runs fine but when the game ask for the disc number 2, and say something like: "Incorrect disc, please insert the correct disc 2". :( Somebody could tell me the correct form of using the silvio's crack? 'cose that crack is for the 4 or 5 CD's version.... Maeby i have in that DVD all the content of the CD's, but it was not me possible to find those files (identity-file).:confused: :confused: |

The DVD that I have is surely a conversion of the version of CD that was passed to DVD, fair as they make it in CD-2-DVD.COM
It is a one DVD which installs the complete game, and you can even play without problems, but only until he (the game) requests you for the disk 2, later in spite of having the DVD inserted in the correct unit, he even tells me that it is an incorrect disk that i must insert the correct disk. I think that the files "identity-file" that requests the silvio crack, they can be in some place of that DVD, but i don't know what are the correct name or extentions of these files or if they are really in that DVD. perhaps it was a bad conversion or incomplete.... I believe to have identified some files inside that DVD, corresponding to what they would be the disks: disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4 (all without extencion) and disc1.pak, disc2.pak, disc3.pak and disc4spa.pak :confused: Some suggestion, different to get the version in compact disks? Je, je. :D |

i used this crack http://www.megagames.com/cgi/downloa...h=FF8CRACK.ZIP
and now only incerd cd1 not wrog disk i copy the cd one the same file where i install it.did i something wrong? |
I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First let me tell to every one, that in the most of the cases DON'T USE A CRACK "NO-CD" ON THE FFVIII. because you don't need it! In many forums, they say that you only need to change in te registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARESquare Soft, IncFINAL FANTASY VIII1.00 Change the Data drive (that usually is c: or d:) to the correct drive that you insert the disc of FFVIII (wathever of number of disc) well i try it in this way but at the first time it doesn't work for me because it is incomplete or it doesn't have some details that are important!!!!.... But then after read in many forums, and search for my old disc's of FFVIII(english version but the disc 3 is damaged :mad: ) and I try it in this way: What you need? well of course the Five Disc of FFVIII or all the files of the 5 Disc (It doesn't care if you have the files in a DVD like me) and the patchs like the 1.2v (this patch fix many bugs). 1.- Intall the FFVIII with the intall disc or whatever you have. 2.- Now Intall the patch if you want (rememeber that it fix many bugs like the video for nvidia users) 3.- Run FFVIII, but don't start to play... just Go to the screen where it says: "New game" or "Continue". and now in you're keyboard push "CTRL + ALT + SUPR" (the three at the same time). It activates the windows task manager" (yeah i know that many guys just use the ALT + TAB, but for some reason it don't work for me in that way). 4.- Close the manager of windows, go to START button (of windows), then to RUN and type: "regedit" the pres enter. 5.- Then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Square Soft Inc, FINAL FANTASY VIII, 1.00 6.- Now check the "data drive" reg It should be represent by a leter of you drive, check if that leter is the correct drive where you insert your FF8_CD1 or wathever of number of disc. --- If the letter is the same of your drive where you insert the disc, just close the manager, return to the FF8 and try play, and if you can play you're lucky and you didn't read this Text. --- If the letter is diferent of the one that has your unit (Where you insert your disc of FF8), then replace the letter with the correct, just press right click on "Data drive" then left click in the firts option and change that letter for the correct letter of you drive where you insert the disc of FF8. then click ok, close the regedit and return to the Game. Try to play. If you can play, you did it! (For many guys this way works, but not for me, i need it to do more steps yeah the next steps) If not works, well go to the next step. 7.- (THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT I MAKE WORK THIS GAME IN MY PC WTHOUT THE ORIGINAL DISC DAMM THAT THIRD DISC...) Well now we need two tools for made runs the game, I hate the words "INCORRECT DISC". We need a Image record like nero burning or other program that makes ISO'S IMAGES, and the other tool is an Image emulation program like daemon tools or alcohol. ++First we are going to made a folder where we are going to copy all the files of the Disc that we want to play (like the disc 1) the files are: disc1.pak , Disk1 , field.fi , field.fl ,and field.fs ++ Then we are going to create an image. I don't know if we need to create a image with the same label of the original disc, I suggest you that you make it with the original label. For Pal version i used this one "FF8_CD2_PC_SPANISH" OR "FF8_CD2_PC_ENGLISH" then Burn that image. ++ Already with the image, Run your daemon tools or alcohol and Mount that image, and check what letter have the drive where you mount the image. ++ Repeat the steps of the number 3 at the 6, But in the 6 step you must to change the letter that apperars for the corretc where the image was mount. ++ Now click ok, close the regedit of windows, return to the game and try to play. This way works for me, I hope i can hel to all the people that have the same problem than me. :cool: |
Ok Pals, I'm happy that nobody has the same problem than me.
Ok amigos estoy feliz de que nadie tenga ya los mismos problemas q yo, si alguien también usa mi misma lengua madre y no entiende el inglés, pueden hacedmelo saber e intentaré ayudarles!!! Gracias a este foro! Saludos! |
Hi, Folks!
I just read the comments... so GLH wrote the correct/working nocd file link at GF at http://fileforums.com/$rd_gf.php?p=ff8.htm 1. IF your crackable FF8.EXE file was READ-ONLY the crack DIDN'T WORKS at all (ofcourse) 2. DOWNLOAD and read the instructions! MORE NOTICE from me that: WHEN THE GAME ASKS for the CD2 then DELETE DISK1 file and COPY DISK2 file (simple press ALT+TAB in the game and make this changes and GO BACK to the game again with ALT+TAB). VERY simple to make a PATH like \DISKY on your HDD's game dir and copy the file DISK1....5 etc. to the \DISKY dir. WHEN the game ask the disk SIMPLE DELETE DISK1 etc. and COPY the right one from \DISKY. IF ASKS DISK3 then copy DISK3 file from \DISKY TO YOUR game dir. The game watch this DISKx file and YOU DO HAVE ONLY the correct file ON your game dir. DO NOT PUT all the files, ONLY WHAT ASKS the game. MAYBE YOU HAVE A PERFECT NOCD/Reroutes crack for this game, BUT I FIGURED OUT MY METHOD works 100%, simple watch your correct DISKx file when the game asked. Anyway.. the 94061270 's method also workable so read/use that helping. Hope I wrote it clearly for ya all... I CANNOT HELP anything more,so PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL me thousands of mails. O.K.?? |

@mega X
Do you actually own the game? @Delacroix02 You need to read Sylvio's latest post on this subject. His last post was #89. Read it. ;) |
If anyone is interested I made my own NoCD for this, if anyone wants to try it, I upped it to Rapidshare:
Code:

NoCD Solution
I uploaded nocd patch to http://fileforums.com/$rd_gf.php?p=ff8.htm.
I was uploaded patch to GameCopyWorld but this patch ended there (http://fileforums.com/$rd_gf.php?p=ff8.htm) :confused: Download nocd from http://fileforums.com/$rd_gf.php?p=ff8.htm named "Final Fantasy 8 v1.2/GeForce [15 KB] NoCD Patch" or "Final Fantasy 8 v1.2 [15 KB] NoCD Patch". Or maybe better solution is to make image files of CD1,CD2,CD3,CD4 and in your virtual menager put them on the hotkeys. For example put CD1 image file on F5 hotkey, CD2 on F6, CD3 on F7, CD4 on F8. I tested this on Alcohol 120%. Have a great time in this great game! |
ok, to all people... This is how to play the game using the CRACK/NO CD/Fixed EXE...
Make an installation of the game... Patch the game Copy the crack file IF YOU WANT TO JUST PLAY THE GAME IN THE HARD DRIVE, U NEED TO COPY CD2/CD3/CD4/CD5 TO THE GAME DIRECTORY.... YOU CANNOT COPY CD3 WHILE CD2 IS IN THE GAME DIRECTORY... AS IT HAS THE SAME GAME NAME FILE. I Suggest making an image and just mount it. This thread is a very very old one :D geez... people still play this game... :) i havent even finished this one... as I moved on to FFX in PS2 :) -- Linson Chan linsonchan Linson Chan 09198774095 |
Final Fantasy 8 - NO CD Patches?
Hiya all,
I had to get a back up of FF8 when my disc 2 got a nasty scratch... But had loads of trouble finding a no CD patch for it. There is an easier way that I will be willing to e-mail to whoever needs it... Just send me a PM and your e-mail addy and I wil send you teh instructions. The good news here is there is no programs involved either, so no chance of any virus threats that I have found from many of the Patches available online... Only GCW ever have clean Patches! Take care! |
BTW... As I am sure the Admin has already said, Don't just DL the game... Get a proper copy! (Though I know through experience that this is ULTIMATLY HARD now!). Too many people just use rips...
PLEASE! Don't support Piracy! Always get the original games if you really ENJOY THEM! BUY THEM! |

A rip version of final fantasy 8?!:confused: .... who comes up with that idea? you? :D [quote=[URL="http://fileforums.com/member.php?u=104263"]arxaios[/url]] about sylvio's fix its still the same as what has been posted a few years back by other members, it only allow running thru daemon or cd backup its not a real NOCD, but it does work. I still have that file. ff8cdfix.zip . sent by sylvio himself. I suggest using a backup, it still work, just patch to 1.2 and load a nocdfix then run the game. I bought this game around y1999-2000 for only 999 or thats around $20... at that time it was worth it, now... its a collection thinggy. I bet i can sell this for $100 lolx! |
Hi a few days ago, my game comes to me final fantasy 8, great I loved it on ps1 i don´t play it to the end...
now i have it but.. After i get it from ebay, i want to install it. So i put my the Install CD in my machine ok nothing happens, go in to the folder click on setup, nothing happens. A look in my taskmanager tells me nothing happens, no cpu running for the setup. Ok lets search for the reasons... nothing found some threads in other communitys but i found nothing what can help me. So i try myself, i installed it on a friends laptop and it works without problems you can play.... Ok i catch the install folder of the program also the reg in the windows registry, and try to let it run to my pc. Something happend. After i correct the path of the game in the reg. Eidos Brand played i think it works... the credits on the beginning, ok let´s rock i thought, than i want to start a new game, insert CD1 i put it in and than... nothing happens... the game bring me back to the desktop. hmm ok may registry problems, i changed the dataDrive to my cd drive. nothing happends. I also tried the nv-patch, the non nv-patch. the no-cds, i also try to make an image of my cd´s an try the stuff that you guys tell and mount it, nothing works. I change the settings for my graphic card (antialiasing....) I also check the settings for the game with different settings nothing helped. I tried to install directx 6.1 the CD has no scratches all is nice. But... nothing happens... The data from my friends laptop: windows xp servicepack1 3,2 ghz nvidia card my data: windows xp servicepack2 2,2ghz nvidia ti 4200 8xAGP is the Problem maybee xpsp2 / xpsp1 ? Sorry for my bad english, maybe i'm realy a dump_german_guy from germany, greets to you guys and please help ! |
Seems like either.
1. You have a virii blocking some executables from working. 2. The auto-insert notification of your CD-rom is not on. 3. Or the CD-Rom is screwed. |
Have you tried the various compatability modes of XP on the SETUP.EXE to see if that helps it install?
|
the compatability modes i have tryed also but i don´t forget it to write, i set the mode of my cd-rom to pio an dma, nothing works ich copy the hole folder of the game to my machine and try to run setup nothing happend. this exe runs with the win32- launcher maybe this will help to find my problem.
Some who has an idea ? |
Other games on other discs work fine?
|
Not sure whats wrong? I've just reinstalled my copy on XP with SP2 and all critical Windows Updates applied and the install went fine.
Only problem is most newer Nvidia cards do not support 8-bit Paletted Textures anymore so you have big black blocks all over the screen when playing the game. Nvidia are stupid fucks honestly!! |
All other CD´s works fine. The main Problem is i can´t install the game of my machine, on the friends laptop it works he can install it. The only way to get the game on my system is the way that i describe on the top entry. It will work but if i try to start the game and insert cd 1 it brokes up and throw mw to my desktop. :confused:
@Barry B You have to chenge the settings for the Game from 3d hardware... to system... maybe the problem will fix, or you can install the patch but maybee it doesnt work. at the moment i´m a pro with the problems from the game ;) |
I know running the game in SOFTWARE mode solves the black box problem, but running in D3D mode allows you to set Anti-Aliasing and other settings to make the game look better but the black boxes make it pointless. I'm already using the GeForce 1.2 patch and it does not solve the problem.
There appears to be NO SOLUTION to this problem of running FF8 in D3D mode with any Nvidia card above a 6600 as these cards simply don't support 8-bit Paletted Textures. |
Somebody who can help me with my Problem ? This problem screws me up !:mad:
|
could you email it to me too?
