Interesting.

I was able to load New Threat using my method via Gamehub Lite - the games are stored in

data/data/gamehub.lite/files/steam/steamapps/common

Install FF7 fresh on your PC again, install in Gamehub, then try a straight 1:1 copy of the entire game directory from your PC into that folder, overwriting the entire game directory in Gamehub.

It’s the exact same install and license check but it should work.

I imagine SYW uses FFNx - when you launch the game, sometimes I need to hit start at the weird mini-launcher window a few times but it will eventually load - in Gamehub I can only get FF7 to launch with Steam Offline Mode enabled.

If it doesn’t work I’ll see about installing it on my PC via the launcher and tell you what to copy over.

So when you attempted to launch it on your computer, did you have FF7 installed from steam on the computer?

If you’re still having trouble I’ll unpack the iro and list what files need to go where.

If you haven’t already, I’d download the Emuready App from the playstore. You can check games against people’s reports to see how they run and what settings they used.

I see now I messed up a small part of my guide that I’ll fix later, but SYW Unified actually comes with an installer. For 7th Heaven Mods you can’t use 7th Heaven at all in Winlator or Gamehub, but the standalone mod installer should run just fine on-device.

Download the SYW Unified installer from the original forum post and move it to a folder winlator can access:

Then just run the installer inside the container. You’d just have to point it to your game folder.

You might want to make sure you have installed Wine Gecko and Wine Mono from the start menu - every fork puts them somewhere different but they aren’t hard to find. You probably should run the container with Box64 set to either Intermediate or Compatibility during the install just so some library doesn’t freak while installing, as well as setting services to Normal.

I’m new to gamehub (use gamehub lite, not the original gamehub), so I’m hit or miss on understanding how the desktop environment works. If you can find where the games are installed while on the desktop you should be able to run the installer there as well.

You’d need to run it on a freshly installed completely vanilla FF7.

I WAS able to remove OBB integrity verification and load mods via an OBB zipped up using “store”, but the wrapper included in the native version of android is quite a bit different than the Steam version, so, sorry to say, modding the native Android port isn’t possible - at least with my level of knowledge.

Most mods only partially applied, and even then sound is broken for most things and FMVs don’t play correctly.

I’m currently attempting to patch the native android apk to not care about mismatched obb signatures, so maybe this can be made to work as well.

Native is a strong word, though. It’s a wrapper for the steam version (which is good for me, in this case).

I always had garbage luck with MTK devices in the past with performance.

Right out of the box, all blazing fast, but just a month later they’re down to 1/3 of their original speed. It could’ve just been me, but I went through a “buy cheap devices to dick around with” phase in college and this happened with all of them (8-10 devices maybe?).

May not be an issue now, but definitely was then.

Iirc this is an inside joke by the devs.

In Japanese, it’s Hai (yes) town, which evidently was the name of the building they spent a lot of time in during development.

I can’t find any real credible source, but some mentions of it going back 4 or 5 years.

Nah outer banks is a killer spot - wife wanted to go and take maternity pictures at the beach, so we went to the OB for the first time.

Very chill place - not a lot of nightlife as the population is so low, but you also won’t get stuck with a dirty needle on the beach or stabbed on the strip so. There’s that.

Living in NC, when I was a kid, we went to Myrtle beach once a year.

Now as a father myself, hell would freeze over before I take my runt to Myrtle.

Go to the outer banks.

Oh I have no delusion that this is a permanent fix and I expect slip-ups, but the fact that I’ve even been given a glimpse of normalcy is just incredible.

Given that I dealt with it unmedicated for this long though, I’m not concerned about the bad days. Bring em on.

I did start on non-XR but it was out of my system by 2:30ish if I took it first thing. My dad has high blood pressure so I’m hoping that won’t become an issue for me as well.

The ones without amphetamines might be a way to go? Evidently they’re more hit or miss.

Quickly read through the writeup, excellent work. I’ve been meaning to do something similar to this but haven’t been able to properly commit the time to do the research required to make it all play nice.

I’ll be doing this sometime soon 👍

It’s the type of crowd that self hosting brings. We’re very much more Lemmings than Redditors by trade, so it does make sense the community here is better.

That, and fuck reddit.

A stout. Strong and sweet.

If anybody uses this in prod from a git repo, might want to place your database creds in an .env file adjacent to your compose file then gitignore the .env.

Referenced like so:

.env contents

MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=MyExamplePassword

MYSQL_ROOT_USER=MyExampleUser

docker-compose.yml contents:

MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}

MYSQL_ROOT_USER: ${MYSQL_ROOT_USER}

Don’t commit secrets to git!

Damn mobile formatting.

AHH I FORGOT HER SISTER SHOWED UP WITH A BUMP

And now I’ve gotta find one for my wife!

I strive to be as good a parent as Bandit and Chili are.

The episode that Bingo is having that wild space dream was legitimately visually impressive.

Episode where it’s inferred (at least, I don’t remember them directly stating it) that Chili’s sister can’t have children and it bothers her is the one that got me watery-eyed.

On the other hand, the hand puppet unicorn had me pissing myself laughing. “What’s your favorite thing to eat?!” “Children…” “Oh…” “Just kidding!”

The staff on Bluey really care about the program, and it shows.
