FF7 / Technical / Hardware rendering
From QhimmWiki
[edit]
Symptoms
In Final Fantasy VII Configurator I can't choose Hardware Acceleration in Renderer section. The test box on the right say's that system failed in 8-bit Paletted Textures test.
[edit]
Causes
This is a very known problem. You probably have some modern graphic card, which Final Fantasy VII doesn't support, and that's why it won't let you select Hardware Acceleration.

Solution
Eidos provided a patch that changes executable version to 1.02. You can download it from links below:
- English Version (http://aaronserv.dyndns.org/hosting/ffsf/downloads/ff7_1.02.zip)
- French Version (http://aaronserv.dyndns.org/hosting/ffsf/downloads/ff7_1.02f.zip)
- German Version (http://aaronserv.dyndns.org/hosting/ffsf/downloads/ff7_1.02g.zip)
- Spanish Version (http://aaronserv.dyndns.org/hosting/ffsf/downloads/ff7_1.02s.zip)
You also should update your graphic drivers to newest ones. Furthermore, Aali's OpenGL Driver (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=8306.0) fixes more issues on even more recent hardware. Thanks to Aaron for hosting these patches.
