  I seriously doubt it, I couldn't get it to run under XP so I just sold it on. Best bet is to get a PS1 emulator and get the ROM, or buy the PS1 disks...I made ISOs of the disks because my DVD drive is too loud.

  Don't know, I could get VII to run on XP and Vista but not VIII. It was really bugged, requirements are really low - it's an ancient game.

  I could never get it to run on Windows 2000 or XP, even with the patches that were put out, and running it in compatibility mode. I think sadly it's just too ancient of a game

  I bought ff7n on ps1, and ps3 store and i also have it running on my toshiba tg01 mobile phone via emulation, using a bluetooth gamepad:D, havent played it much on mobile phone so i dont know what happens when it comes to changing disc, i think it should work the same way though. It is an all time classic, they should really be making a next gen update, as goos as ff13 is it is not in ff7 league for me.

  The FF7 Remix upgrades the music, models, textures and videos + includes the OpenGL patch amongst many others http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=d0c2644db72e2322ec0cfe82480acdb0&topic=8915.0

  It does work on 64-bit -- you just need to go through thousands of tweaks before it'll start playing. I had it working on Windows 7 and a reasonably new PC and it was fine. A couple of crashes early on in the game but nothing terribly worrying.
  
  If you've got broadband at home, you should be able to download the whole thing in a few minutes. I remember when it came out my friends were freaking out over how big it was, and now it's like downloading a movie trailer.

  After seeing the hassle it caused a few people on here I bought a PS2 console instead and bought the game.
  
  But could not stop there. Ended up buying 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2 and 12

  it's a real shame this is difficult to get working for the latest windows cos the pc version always had way smoother graphics than the ps version.
