Install with: wine tm20decSetup.exe
The PC-Version of the 1997 game has been filled with bugs and issues since the very beginning, and official patches haven't changed much to make things run better. Thanks to unofficial fixes, it's more or less playable, but you will most likely still face problems with minigames or video playback of the cutscenes.
The PC version is, as well, poor in quality.
For best experience, I recommend playing the PSX version via emulation or taking a look at the 2012 released one, basically being identical.
You can apply the method describe in this Venezuelan blog (in Spanish) ->
https://inukaze.wordpress.com/juegos-wine/final-fantasy-vii-7-pc/jwff7pc-05/
On English :
now edit with root permissions , the file
" /etc/modules "
and add the lines
#MIDI For FinalFantasy 7
snd-seq-device
snd-seq-midi
snd-seq-oss
snd-seq-midi-event
snd-seq
if you dont have installed any soundfont , you can do the follow in a terminal
sudo rm -rf /etc/sounds
sudo mkdir /etc/sounds/
sudo cp /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg /etc/timidity/timidity_original.cfg
sudo cp /etc/init.d/timidity /etc/init.d/timidity_original
cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/"
sudo cp FF7.sf2 /etc/sounds
sudo chmod 777 /etc/sounds/FF7.sf2
sudo chmod o+rw+x /etc/sounds/FF7.sf2
now edit with root permissions , the file
" /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg "
and just add the soundfonts and the config file
soundfont /etc/sounds/FF7.sf2
source /etc/timidity/freepats.cfg
now edit with root permissions , the file
" /etc/default/timidity "
and modify the line " TIM_ALSASEQPARAMS "
For this one :
TIM_ALSASEQPARAMS="-iA -B5,10 -Os1l -s 44100"
if you dont have started the daemon for timidity or timidity binary , you can run it explicit with
$ timidity -iADl -Os1 - -module=16 -cache- -audio-buffer=200%
if you wanna you can install timidity like daemon for start with the boot
if see in FF7Config , using wine , in the music tab , something like
"14:0 Midi Trought" , and you see , dont play music , you can disabled temporally
you can check in a terminal with
$ pmidi -l
Port Client name Port name
14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0
if you wanna delete it , in the same terminal with root permissions use
$ rmmod snd_seq_dummy
$ pmidi -l
Port Client name Port name
128:0 TiMidity TiMidity port 0
128:1 TiMidity TiMidity port 1
128:2 TiMidity TiMidity port 2
128:3 TiMidity TiMidity port 3
and now you can set Timidity inside the game and hear the original music from the game
