- Notice the little white button? That's a little donation thing you can use if you feel like helping me out a bit. Contrary to popular legend, I'm quite low on cash after running this server out of my own pocket for these last few years, so if any of you feel like giving a hand with the server costs I'd be quite relieved. Of course I'm not demanding you to pay for visiting the site or downloading stuff, I'm just providing a way for you to help if you want to. Any donations should also appear on the donation site, as a way of public thanks. ^_^
- A small bugfix for Griever is available. This version fixes the "party isolated" bug, along with other small fixes. Requires the new MFC DLLs.
- An updated set of MFC DLLs are available (version 7.0). These will be required for most subsequent releases. Get them here. They're larger than the previous version, unfortunately there's nothing I can do about that. Sorry, thank Microsoft.

Version 0.82 |
Griever is a save file editor for Final Fantasy
VIII PC. It is similar to the Jenova editor for FF7, but also sports several new features.
I spent a lot of time on the interface of this program, and I'd like to think that the end
result is the best-looking FF8 save file editor available. Meaning it simply looks better
than the other one. =)

• The "party isolated" box cannot be unchecked. FIXED

With this utility, you can extract and view the
Final Fantasy VIII FMVs from the movie archives found on the game CDs. You can view both
the high-res and low-res movies, and optionally play them in fullscreen mode.

| Known bugs |
| • FF8FMV can't locate FF8. Use the '...' button and
select the CD drive by yourself. |
| • FF8FMV can't locate binkplay.exe. Extract the FMVs
to .bik files and play them manually by drag-dropping them onto binkplay.exe. |

Version 1.0 |
Quite a few people have been asking me if there
is a way to extract the MIDIs from Final Fantasy VIII. And the answer has always been no,
not without losing the original instruments. Well, with this utility you can at least
listen to the MIDIs, with all the original instruments, even the chorus in FITHOS LUSEC
WECOS VINOSEC.
|
| Known bugs |
| • FF8MIDI has a memory leak which slowly drains your
computer's system resources, resulting in a crash after a large number of MIDIs. |

Those of you reading the messageboard may have
read my message about a possible FF8 sound extraction app. Well, this is the result. There
are probably a bunch of bugs lying around, but none should be as serious as the FF8MIDI
one (hopefully). Please try it out and tell me what you think of it in the messageboard.
Tip: Check out clip #01543, a 'secret' Square sound clip.

Alpha version |
Garden is indeed a true Final Fantasy VIII
editor. Using my pre-alpha version, I have been able to hack several scenes in FF8 ([1][2]).
After a lot of pressure (I recieve 10 requests per week about this), I've decided to
release this program, however only the source code. I hope that someone can continue my
work and realize true FF8 editing.
The program currently supports decompiling the data files, editing game text data and
re-compiling the data files again. The decompiled data files require about 1200 MB of disk
space, and you will need to have a full FF8 install (all data files on disk).
|
| Known bugs |
| • The re-compiled data files are not as effectively
compressed as the original files, meaning FF8 will suffer a certain speed loss. |
| • LOTS more. |

Eight is the FF8 equivalent of Jenova*Birth,
that is, a simple data file viewer/extractor. With it, you can view textures and with some
tweaking, parts of the game script.
|
| Known bugs |
| • Eight can't locate FF8. Use the '...' button and
select the FF8\Data directory by yourself. |

Version 02 [release
4] |
If you are one of those people
who own Final Fantasy VII PC and tried to run it on Windows 2000 or
Windows XP, you no doubt discovered that it drops dead at the chocobo
races. Every single time.
Well, instead of throwing the damn game out the window, you can now try
this unofficial patch. It will zero out the faulty instruction that
causes the crash, hopefully allowing you to get through the chocobo
races with no problems.
The cause of the crash was discovered by
jedwin, who also
made the first version of the patch. I have since then wrapped it up in
a nice package, which is what you get now if you download it. Be aware
that you still use this unofficial patch at your own risk! There
are no guarantees.

| Known bugs |
| • There shouldn't be any in this one. |

Version 0.3.1 |
This was the program that started my programming
career... In the beginning, it couldn't edit that much of the save file. Basically, a
fancy Win32 interface and nothing more.
Now, a couple of releases later, it is one of the best FF7 editors available out there.
The editor is powerful, yet easy to use thanks to the simple interface.
|
| Known bugs |
| • You can't edit character stats?! Well, apparently.
Don't know how I could've missed that one... |

Beta release 1 |
After having found a new, fresh interest in the
FF7 data files, I decided to resume work on this program. You may rejoice. This program
can read the LGP data files and view the game backgrounds (found in field/flevel.lgp), and
extract any file and optionally decompress it.
|
| Known bugs |
| • Some field files produce garbage and some will crash
the program. |
| • Missing something? That's what the source code is
here for. Be my guest. |
