Final.Fantasy.VIII.Extended.DVD torrent

Final Fantasy VIII Extended DVD Edition
Special thanks to vetropir for providing me with the original torrent description.

This fan-made upgrade to FF8 for the PC was on this site before, but taken down due to improper compression. I was able to snag a copy before it was deleted, and after verifying how badass it is, I'm uploading it for you all following the site's guidelines.

Features:
• Full install 2.2 GB, DVD not needed.
• Half automated CD-swap-emulator via hot-key.
• Supports XP / Vista / Win7 - 32/64.
• Supports ALL types of TFT displays, including native wide screen.
• AA support.
• Character Editor (also accessible via hot-key).
• HQ-PDF Manual.
• HQ-PDF Strategy Guide.

Ingame hot-keys
• CTRL ALT 1 = on the fly CD1 emulating.
• CTRL ALT 2 = on the fly CD2 emulating.
• CTRL ALT 3 = on the fly CD3 emulating.
• CTRL ALT 4 = on the fly CD4 emulating.
• CTRL ALT C = calls the Character Editor, FF8 minimizes.
• CTRL ALT M = calls the HQ-PDF Manual, FF8 minimizes (will not work if Adobe Acrobat is already open).
• CTRL ALT S = calls the HQ-PDF Strategy Guide (same as above).
• ALT F4 = Quick Exit (works MUCH better than the game's native Ctrl Q).
• NOTE: Alt Tab DOES NOT WORK. Ctrl Alt Del will still minimize the game, however.

Other Features
• Greater Stability
• Pre-patched? - This I don't know for sure, as I haven't had much of a chance to play around with it, but I believe all the crashes and terrible glitches have already been patched; you should be able to just install and play like I did. If not, there are plenty of torrents on this site with all the fixes.
• New Config - The only time you really need to use the game's built in config is to set up your controls. There is a new config accessed via ff8_launcher.exe that allows for higher screen resolutions that match most modern computers. I was able to play this on my laptop at 1280 x 800, and it looked beautiful (better than the PSX version does on my TV) and ran without any troubles.

Installation
• Mount with a virtual CD/DVD-drive emulator, or burn and put into your physical drive.
• Install the game.
• Install Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable (x32/x64) if needed (if it comes up asking you to "Repair" or "Uninstall", you don't need to install.
• Unmount or remove the DVD and play.

Some other things to note
• ALWAYS run the game from ff8_launcher.exe. AWAYS.
• When playing on higher resolutions, FMVs glitch a little bit as they end (they shrink to a corner before disappearing and gameplay resumes). This is just a minor cosmetic annoyance, and doesn't affect gameplay at all, but it was still something of note.
• Game installs with a save in Slot 1, File 1 (for those that which to skip the opening sequence) and Slot 2, File 1 (to test the in game CD swapping).

The original torrent file spoke of some trouble with Nvidia GeForce cards. I have a GeForce in both my laptop and my Vista desktop, and never ran into trouble. If anyone does have trouble, I'll copy/paste this information into the description.
