Final Fantasy VII NES Project

[Chpexo]

I'm making the music for the Slums right now (Rotting pizza). So you don't have to worry about making it.

[Lugia2009]

Cool, thanks for the help.
I'm going to start working on the boss music tomorrow.

[Chpexo]

The Rotting Pizza music is finished; here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?c204ttg3xpb5j7f

I trimmed the song since it was long and by the fact the ending uses multiple notes at the same time that would be ruined by transferring it onto the NES.

[Lugia2009]

Great job on the song
Thanks again.
I added it in. Also, I found an error in the song I made and fixed it.

Here's the patch with save states so you can listen to them.
http://www.mediafire.com/?rb5898a8vdwjmpp

Think they sound okay?

[Chpexo]

The Rotting Pizza music sounds different than I thought it would sound...

Also since you added new music, the maps have been screwed up and most of my save states don't work

[Lugia2009]

The Rotting Pizza music sounds different than I thought it would sound...

Yeah, I know. Still, it doesn't sound so bad. It's just too bad it can't sound exactly the same.

Also since you added new music, the maps have been screwed up and most of my save states don't work

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. Let me know if you want some new save states.
June 12, 2011, 06:33:34 pm - (Auto Merged - Double Posts are not allowed before 7 days.)I finished working on square 1 and 2 of "Still more fighting" and...it sounds pretty bad (Maybe an octave too high?)
And on top of that, it is VERY long. This is just square 1 (Not counting the first 14 bytes of a song, and the opcode and operand bytes). I could fit about 2 whole songs in this amount of space.

Do you think maybe I should look for some battle music from one of the FF7 spin offs?

[Chpexo]

Wow, you guys are really making this playable! Great work guys.

I'll check it out, thanks.

"Valley of the Fallen Star" (Red XIII's theme) is done. Here's the patch with a save state. Go onto the world map to hear it.

http://www.mediafire.com/?6gucdz7l8p9zbhz

Everyone think it sounds alright?
June 13, 2011, 02:14:04 pm - (Auto Merged - Double Posts are not allowed before 7 days.)I noticed a mistake on the triangle channel and raised it an octave. The triangle channel should be much more noticeable.

Here's the new patch.

To save time of patching the game again, just copy and paste it at 0x01e170 over top of Red XIII's theme, then go out onto the world map to hear it.
June 14, 2011, 07:35:19 am - (Auto Merged - Double Posts are not allowed before 7 days.)I have an idea of where to put Vincent, how about putting in the corner of the Shinra Mansion a closed off area with some caskets. And one open casket with Vincent in it.

It's about half the size of the original Victory Fanfare.

Just copy and paste it at 0x01c470 to hear it when you win a battle.

[KingMike]

I am curious why NC didn't modify the last post himself, or use the Report to Moderator button?

And Lugia, you really should make a patch and upload it to a website. If you don't have your own, possibly consider one of those on the file submissions page.
I don't think there's many who'd be willing to manually type such a long hex sequence into a hex editor (both due to length, and it's also error-prone).

Okay, no problem, I can upload a new patch.

Also, the town with Aerith's house is done.


Here's the new patch

http://www.mediafire.com/?4odtma0rdrsrtja

[Vanya]

Very nice work!!
One of these days I'l end up turning this whole thing into a Game Maker game just for fun and to add more stuff to it.

[Nightcrawler]

I am curious why NC didn't modify the last post himself, or use the Report to Moderator button?

So am I.  I could have sworn I clicked 'modify', but apparently I clicked 'quote' and was sleeping with my eyes open and didn't notice what I was doing. Or... perhaps I was possessed by the devil! 

[Nerd42]

Can somebody make a list of all the FF7 NES patches that one needs to apply to get the best, easiest, most Englishified, best looking FF7 NES game possible and where to download them? I haven't checked up on this in a while. Apparently I now have 11 pages of this thread and who knows how many others to dig through to find out what the heck's going on. Maybe I should start a Final Famiclone 7 blog or something

BTW I have never played this game up to the point where Aerith gets killed but I'm assuming it follows the original games right? Would it be possible to make a patch which brings her back to life as a playable character?

Just apply the latest patch to Lindblum's translated rom.
Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?4odtma0rdrsrtja

BTW I have never played this game up to the point where Aerith gets killed but I'm assuming it follows the original games right?

It does to a point. There's never any mention of the fact that Cloud was one of the Shinra Soldiers who arrived at Nibelheim. There's also never any mention of what happened when they went to inspect the mako reactor. Also, the weapon creatures are removed.

The Chinese company did an amazing job making this game from scratch, it's just too bad they didn't put a little more effort in the story, graphics, and music.

Would it be possible to make a patch which brings her back to life as a playable character?

I would like to make something like that or at least have another Cait Sith come along. It would also be nice to add some more scenes in the game, but that's way way beyond what I'm able to do. Hopefully when all the graphics and music is done, someone will come along to fix the gameplay and story, and add more scenes and locations.

[Nerd42]

what about the speed patch? And is the translation patch you're referring to called FF7NES-CH2EN-99%.ips or is it something else? Was there ever a 100% translation?

[Garoth Moulinoski]

Stuff like that happens to me often. I mean, not being possessed by devils or anything- Just the sleeping with my eyes open thing. I don't think I've gotten possessed... Or maybe I have? I really don't know.

As a separate patch, aside from the main you're doing, this would be pretty cool... But I know I'd get a bit irked if I realized I could revive Aerith. Not that I'd care; she'd probably just end up being a bench warmer, like always... But yeah. But then again, just my two cents. (I really only wanted to comment on what NC said but that didn't feel too nice...)

[Nerd42]

I don't think Aerith would be a bench warmer; she should be able to be turned into a powerful healer with strong defense

[Lugia2009]

I just patched the Final Fantasy VII - English - .nes

I think that's the 99% translated version.
June 16, 2011, 10:41:43 pm - (Auto Merged - Double Posts are not allowed before 7 days.)For me, after I beat the game, Aerith was pretty much a bench warmer on every other playthrough. Then again, so was Cait Sith.
Cait Sith is good on the NES version. I used him a lot on this version, then he died, and I was left with a low level Tifa and Barret.

The first time I really use Cait Sith, and he goes and dies.  Oh well...

I could try and figure out how to raise everyone's strength by a lot, it would be nice to have Cloud fight an enemy with a sword rather than a wiffle bat.
