Got FF8 to run on Vista x86 without any Graphic Glitches
You need:
* FF8 ^^
* 1.2 Patch (for me,i needed the NON GeForce Patch for my GeForce 6200!!!)
* The Loader from Magixts, v1.3 or higher (great tool.. GREAT!)

* The Visual C++ 2008 runtime from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...&DisplayLang=en
* A new eax.dll .. i've downloaded from
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?eax
Now installing:
* Install FF8 normally, EAX will install itself at the end of the installation
* Copy 1.2 patch files to installation directory (no Game subfoler at all!)
* Copy the loader files to the installation directory
* Install the Visual C++ 2008 runtime
* Got to the software deinstallation in the control center and UNINSTALL eax unified
* Extract the new downloaded eax.dll to {Windir}/system32 (NOTE by magixts: It's also possible to put the .dll directly in the ff8 installation directory to achieve the same result)
Now the fun:
* Run FF8_Loader.exe, Set Resolution to whatever, check the 8bit paletted texture fix checkbox, click PLAY and enjoy!
