Post by Alan Verbernehi,
i downloaded the pc version of ff7, of course ;-) I don't have the cdroms,
does anyone know how I can fool the game into thinking that I do?
Though I don't condone downloading games, there are methods of getting the
game to look only to the hard drives. It involves registry keys, though, so
unless you also stole the install disc, you're out of luck. Basically, you
just point all of the registry keys relating to FF7 data to their locations on
your PC instead of the CD-ROM. You also have to rename your hard drive volume
label to whichever FF7 disc you're trying to access (FF7DISC1, FF7DISC2, or
FF7DISC3). People started doing this because the game has serious issues
accessing one particular FMV on disc 2, which led to a nasty game lockup.
