Complete Guide

Please Vote on this guide!!! Thanks.

Info:
1. This is an Enhancement, not a mod, which is easy, safe and free to use.
2. This Enhancement Adds better lighting and filters to make the game look and feel better and yes one of the filters is Scanlines. Why Scanlines? Because FFVII was originally designed to be on a CRT Screen[en.wikipedia.org] which has Scanlines[en.wikipedia.org] and they designed the game to use the Scanlines as a filter to blend everything together!
Note: I added the option to download the enhancement without Scanlines to the download links below.
3. This Enhancement is setup to make FFVII look and feel like it did on the Original PlayStation with a CRT Screen back in 1998; also it's setup to make the GFX look more natural which is Easer on the Eyes! ;)

Instructions are below the Screenshots.

Instructions:

1. Download the fully set version by me from here:
*Just remove the "-"*
(A)Normal Version -> -http://www.mediafire.com/download/gebgf9c4qz3d7em/SweetFX1.4+set+for+FINAL+FANTASY+VII%2BVIII.rar
(B)Without Scanlines -> -http://www.mediafire.com/download/f9hav58662x4jj6/No-Scanlines_SweetFX1.4+set+for+FINAL+FANTASY+VII%2BVIII.rar
(C)Advanced Version -> -http://www.mediafire.com/download/yz85zhd8u76obh5/Advanced_SweetFX1.4+set+for+FINAL+FANTASY+VII%2BVIII.rar
Note: The Advanced version requires a mid-to-highend rig to make the post proccessing effects run smoothly and it will run poorly on older slower rigs. Also make sure you Turn off "Linear Filtering" in the game's Launcher settings.

2. Extract All the files and folders AS-IS, using WinRAR[www.rarlab.com], to your game location; Mine is

"Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII"

3. Launch FFVII and enjoy FFVII The way it was meant to look!

This is seriously out of date, use Reshade with the Retroarch shader pack or the CRT Royale port for reshade.

I only get errors, like i cant even open the webpage to get the download

I will never understand people who see stretching a 4:3 image into 16:9 (or worse, even more wider) as an enhancement.

[Arioch]

you can buy screen mesh from home depot and tape it over your computer screen to apply the same visual effect to all games. it's pretty awesome and definitely an enhancement. I know what you're thinking.. "this looks like gelatinous farts and also why?" well, as the creator of this not a mod..mod..ahem.. mentioned, just turn your gamma up to help reduce the effects of the not a mod..mod.. I hope this helps. To be completely honest this is the best not a mod..mod on steam and perhaps in the entire world. It's great, so why screen door just ff7? You can make everything look like it's behind a screen door and I know I speak for literally everyone who has ever existed when I say, "it's about duck quacking time".

Before you ask, no I wasn't paid by anyone to write this. I just really, really love this not a mod...mod. Have a great day!

Yeah, doesn't work with Reunion + Remako, like, at all

[StyxNox]

@>Juice try this. do not need rename any file.
Replace the "dxgi.dll" in this mod with locate dxgi.dll ( in C:/windows/system32)

@Ryanarchy
Does not seem to work for me. It does change the errors I'm getting, though.
