No WGL Extensions Error with FF7 Platinum

tbZ_DEVIL · April 11th, 2004

I'm trying to load FF7 platinum and when I click RunfromCDROM it gives me that error. I am using epsxe160 and the following:

bios: scph9002 - PAL
video: Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.5
audio: P.E Op.S DSound Audio Driver 1.7
CDRom: P.E Op.S CDR Driver 1.4

I have an AMD XP 2200+, 120 gig 7200rpm hdd, Radeon 9500pro and 512 DDR Ram. Running windows XP.

Any help appreciated.

...is this the illegal hacked one by any chance?

tbZ_DEVIL · April 11th, 2004

No. It is the legal FF7 Platinum from squaresoft. Three disks + the FF8 preview.

interesting...i've never heard of a FF7 platinum...sorry at first i was confused.

try using the SCPH1001 or 7502 BIOS, Eternal 1.41 for sound and make sure Peops CDR is configured correctly.

you have a 9500pro, so OGL2 is a good choice.

try those settings to start with...you may need to turn off screen filtering, and you may want to try some texture filtering, but beware some settings produce nasty green outlines.

Thanks. I will try these settings tomorrow and let you know how I get on.

I'm from the UK and older PS1 games are called "platinum" they get a new box because they are old classics. Thus FF7 Platinum is the one I have.

interesting in the states they are called "greatest hits" same story though new case, cheaper cd art, same ol game

**hushypushy** · April 12th, 2004

yeah...sorry im from the USA where they cheapen it and call it Greatest Hits. "platinum" sounds so much better

Something like 6 years ago i went to london and bought FFVII Platinum, i had no problem with epsxe, it runs perfectly.

EDIT: I just found this, it's right from Pete, hope it helps.

thanks guys. I didn't get it working.. in the end I went to my parents and got my old playstation 1! hehe.

Works fine on that no idea why it wouldn't work on this or my ps2.
