You can configure your desired graphic setup here. There is a tab labeled
“Display”, click on it to choose either your recommended 3D accelerator or
Primary Display Driver. The other tab you may choose is “Renderer”, click on
it to choose either Software Renderer or 3D Hardware Acceleration, select the
one that complements your “Display” setting. You may also select the Display
resolution with 3 options. If you are using the software renderer, select 320X240
(Full Screen), 640x480 (Quarter Screen) or 640x480 (Full Screen). If you are
using a recommended 3D accelerator, select one of the two 640X480 settings.
The Quarter Screen option will run slightly faster than the Full Screen option
but you trade off by having a smaller viewing area. The area on the right shows
the Direct3D features that your PC supports. Do not be alarmed if your
settings do not support all the 3D features. You can still play Final Fantasy VII
fine without some features. See the Readme file for 3D card troubleshooting.

The sound driver setting should be automatically configured to your sound card.
Press the test button to hear if your sound card is working properly. If you do
not hear anything, change your sound driver to match your sound card. If your
sound card supports stereo sound you can reverse the left and right channels by
checking the “Reverse Speakers” box.

Your MIDI driver should be automatically configured. If you want to change
the driver, select the one the matches your computer’s MIDI setting. Your
MIDI data should be automatically set as well. Your MIDI data should match
your MIDI driver. General MIDI is for all wavetable synthesis cards or any
sound card in general. General MIDI is also for use with the Yamaha S-YXG70
software synthesizer. Soundfont MIDI is for Creative Labs AWE sound cards.
Yamaha XG MIDI is for Yamaha SG MIDI compatible sound cards.
