Yeah now it's me tbh. I've got to do something for him to be able to do his bit and I've just not done it now. Kinda sucks that I can't run fffx on my current computer. seems to just be incompatible with windows 8.
Tried it. No matter what compatibility mode I run it on I just get this in games which is all out of whack and then 'run time error 9 - subscript out of range' followed by crash within 3-4 secs of a game starting. Works perfectly on the vista comp that I've been using for it but it's a hassle y'know.
