HOWTO: Codec TrueMotion 2.0

Install with: wine tm20decSetup.exe

 
MIDI music, and Timidity++

First, note that the 'General MIDI' data (using FF7 Config) would work most of the time, especially with a MIDI device.

If you don't have some MIDI device plugged to your computer, you will need Timidity++. To use Timidity++ you must have the "Virtual MIDI soundcard" ALSA driver in your kernel (module snd-virmidi, use modprobe to load it).

Timidity++ may be packaged as" timidity++" or "timidity" depending on your distribution.

To run Timidity++ you have basically two options: in the foreground, and in the background, here are the corresponding commands:

  • timidity -iA
  • timidity -iAD -Os

To be sure sure that FF7 use Timidity++, run FF7 Config and set MIDI Driver to 'TiMidity port 0'.

You can use the FF7 SF2 with Timidity: the "FF7.SF2" file in "FF7 install dir/data/midi/sf2" should enable all the sounds that are necessary to make MIDI files' hearing better. Copy it anywhere then edit the "/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg­­" to add "soundfont /home/username/path/to/FF7.sf2".
You may also want to try to set MIDI Data to 'Yamaha XG MIDI'.


 
Basic install
­­

­­­Guide to installation:

  1. Set Wine to Windows 98
  2. Run setup.exe
  3. Uncheck default installation options (DirectX)
  4. Check 'Yamaha S-YXG70 Software Synthesizer'
  5. Set driver to ALSA, you may want to set hardware acceleration to 'emulation'

 
CD detection
As pointed out by Zoldyck in this test results, you may try CDemu to fix the CD detection problem.

wine 1.3.31
by chris on Friday November 4th 2011, 16:13
no error in 1.3.31 but when upgrading from 1.3.29 or lower be sure to re-run ff7Config.exe and pick a new sound device.

setting up in wine
by chris on Friday November 4th 2011, 8:16
this game does work correctly in wine if you use aali's driver you can see my how to here

forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=11994.0

also on a side note the link below for the driver is for an old version of the driver.

may have sound issue w/ wine 1.3.31 or 1.3.30 but works well in 1.3.28

TM20 Video Codec
by Inukaze on Sunday September 12th 2010, 23:51
You can download from : dl.dropbox.com/u/3164499/FF7PC/tm20dec.ax

you must put for example in "/home/my_user/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32"

you can go via terminal , to the same folder ""/home/my_user/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32" and run

wine regsvr32 tm20dec.ax

to register the video codec , if dont work , you must use "Aali OpenGL Video Driver"

Graphic board....
by ManiaC on Monday May 18th 2009, 19:43
I d suggest whenever u submit info about this game u should also state your graphic cards... The reason for this is because the newest cards hardware/software dont support that thing called 8-bit pallete texture . It doesn't work on windows so it wont work in wine too.

From what i know though a card till the Geforce 4 series supported 8bit pallete textures in both hardware and software... however the matter that the next gennerations starting from the next generation wont work ... not sure about ATI cards

still not working
by mobidyc on Friday January 9th 2009, 9:30
first part for the cd verification:
ff7 doesn't accept my original CDs but i can launch the game through CDEmu, the cd check is fine with it.

second part for playing the game (installation under win98 configuration):
i have the following output:
$> wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Square\ Soft\,\ Inc/Final\ Fantasy\ VII/ff7.exe
fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps OpenGL implementation supports 32 vertex samplers and 32 total samplers
fixme:d3d:IWineD3DImpl_FillGLCaps Expected vertex samplers + MAX_TEXTURES(=8) > combined_samplers
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32404c,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 16
fixme:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Add OpenGL context recreation support to SetDepthStencilSurface
fixme:dinput:SysMouseAImpl_Acquire Clipping cursor to (0,0)-(640,480)

and nothing happens.
sometimes i can see the first screen menu of the game (new game or continue) but it's rarely and change nothing, the game still not answers.
