7th Heaven + Remako mods -- please, please help me

[Matt]

Windows 10
Freshly downloaded/installed FF7
Downloaded and installed 7th Heaven
Downloaded, unzipped, and imported high res texture mods to 7th Heaven


Opened game -- error -- nothing installed -- please insert disc.


There is not, and never was a "disc".

What do I do?

[Matt]

Okay, I made progress in the sketchiest way possible. I went into the "C" drive, and literally copied the contents of the entire game folder, and pasted it into the same folder that 7th Heaven made on a separate drive. Then launched. And it worked!

However... it's a small screen. Any idea how to fix that?

So... one of the things that 7th Heaven needs to do is, essentially, convert FFVII into a different, disk-based version.

So in order to properly run 7th Heaven, you need to trick your computer into thinking it has a disk of FFVII. Options are:
1. mount a dummy file to a virtual drive.
2. rename a drive you already have to the name of the disk
3. use a different mod loader. (as of now, there is a glorious number of... two.)

There are two ways of fixing this.

A: The simple way. Launch the game through 7th Heaven. the latest version *should* mount a drive automatically for you.

B: the Manual way. Using a software like Daemon Tools, mount the FF7Disk1.ISO file that you can download from This location: https://captrobau.blogspot.com/p/install-guide-ff7-mod-manager.html

change the settings in 7th Heaven

I've looked through every settings option in 7th heaven and I can't find anything that says window size, resolution, full screan mode, -- nothing. If there is another term for getting the game to take up more of my screen than it does, I don't know what it is.

I'm going to try simply changing my desktop resolution to something lower and see if that somehow fixes it in reverse.

Thanks for your time.

Settings > Game Driver. Assuming you're using the latest version of 7th Heaven

Wow I'm such a dope. Thanks. I don't know how I didn't see that... Maybe the use of the word driver threw me off...

Thank you!!!!
