General


The following section is for technical support and assistance with Final Fantasy VII. You must have these minimum system specifications for the game to function correctly. We do not provide support for configurations that do not meet the minimum requirements.


Minimum System Requirements



  • Pentium 133 w/ supported 3D accelerator card (4Mb video memory or greater)
  • P166 w/out supported 3D accelerator card (see below)
  • 32 MB Ram
  • 2 MB Video Card
  • 260 MB of Hard Drive space
  • Sound card
  • Mouse
  • 4x CD-ROM Drive
  • Windows 95
  • DirectX 5.1 installed
  • DirectMedia 5.2

    Please note: You may need to update the drivers for your system hardware for the game to function properly. Driver files are often obtainable via the web sites of their manufacturers, many of which are linked at our Hardware Support Links Section.

    We did not test Final Fantasy VII with laptop/notebook systems and therefore we cannot guarantee compatibility. Due to the variety of hardware configurations that ship with today's laptop systems, it would be impossible to configure a game that would work with all of them. Many laptop/notebook computers are limited in their ability to be used as a gaming machine. This is because of memory configurations, their micro-channel architecture, port configurations (i.e. no place for a joystick) and sound systems that are primarily designed to be used with productivity software.

    The other common problem is that laptop systems will attempt to compress the traditional version of the standard 101-function keyboard (found on almost all desktop systems) into a much smaller keyboard configuration. This is usually done by relying on multifunction keys that allow the user to assign different functions to the same key. Unfortunately, this has been known to cause problems with our games.

    Additionally, Finaly Fantasy VII is not supported using Windows NT, compressed hard drives, or Windows emulators. Although the game might run, its performance and stability will be questionable.

What is your experience of Virtual CD/DVD drives?

I have a couple of virtual drives that I use all the time.

I have one installed but have never used it.

I'm aware of them but have never needed one.
