after a long and bloody battle i've managed to gather enough little tricks around the net to allow me to play my copy of FF8 with all the discs on a single DVD (rather than have it all on my hdd).
if u can get it to install but can't get it to recognise where the 1st disc is i think i have a way that doesn't require ANY patches.

i've used alcohol 120 and daemon tools to mount my bin/cue. files that i made of my originals

so after installing exit and do a search for 'regedit'. open it up and expand 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', then 'SOFTWARE', find the folder for FF8 and then the file within called 'DataDrive'
double click it and in the next window change the 'Value data' to the initial where alcohol or daemon tools will mount the FF8 cd 1 image.
close the windows, mount the image of disc 1 and run the game.
when u need to change disc just save, exit and mount the next cd image in the same drive. simple as that.

after this i haven't had a single problem yet, i've got full sound, graphics and movies.

i hope this can be of help to some of you

Reading the rules is a good start.

@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:

http://rapidshare.de/files/26552348/FF8v12-NoCD.zip.html

I found some save games saved on discs 1 to 4 and flicked through a few and the saves loaded when all the DISCx.PAK data files from the 4 discs were copied to my HDD, plus the last battle loaded OK too!

I'm using the English version, not sure if it will work on other versions!

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!
