Reading the rules is a good start.

@mega X
Do you actually own the game?

@Delacroix02
You need to read Sylvio's latest post on this subject.
His last post was #89. Read it.

If anyone is interested I made my own NoCD for this, if anyone wants to try it, I upped it to Rapidshare:

I found some save games saved on discs 1 to 4 and flicked through a few and the saves loaded when all the DISCx.PAK data files from the 4 discs were copied to my HDD, plus the last battle loaded OK too!

I'm using the English version, not sure if it will work on other versions!

Hiya all,

I had to get a back up of FF8 when my disc 2 got a nasty scratch... But had loads of trouble finding a no CD patch for it.

There is an easier way that I will be willing to e-mail to whoever needs it... Just send me a PM and your e-mail addy and I wil send you teh instructions.

The good news here is there is no programs involved either, so no chance of any virus threats that I have found from many of the Patches available online... Only GCW ever have clean Patches!

Take care!
