I'll be honest, guys. I'm completely lost. I've been through so many patches and installers for all these games I can't remember which EXE I'm supposed to use. A couple of months ago I played the full game through Peixoto with fade ins from black on the title screen, waving inventory, remastered FMVs and soundtrack. The full caboodle, and it was glorious.

Am I supposed to just use the one from the Multipatcher? Because that has now started crashing with an "Abnormal program termination" message, with or without Peixoto. Or is there a bespoke Peixoto patch? If so...GIVE IT!

Danath: Thanks for uploading your files, that saved me a lot of time. But unfortunately, I still have no music at all when I use that EXE, even with your WMAs installed.

EDIT: IT'S FIXED!!!

Oh, Famicom I could KISS you!

Turns out I was meant to rename the EXE and replace some DLL files with those from the EXTREMELY misleadingly-titled "TR2 Gold Lara's Home files" folder.

Sorry i forgot that there was an .exe there. You can safely ignore it and copy everything else, it will work on Arsunt's .exe. You need both .dll files in the main TR2 folder for the music to work.
Glad you got it sorted out in any case.

Why does this tool zoom the FMV's in extremely close? It does this in TR3 too

I still have problems with the FMV sequences on Tomb Raider 3.

When I activate the "Force native resolution" option, the FMV sequences looks really small and with that awful interlaced effect enabled. I tried changing the zoom option, but the problem it seems to be "Force native resolution" option.

Is there any way to fix this?

That's not the case, it's at 1.

This is what I see in the EIDOS FMV


Hope that's clear

But, alas, it required using the second-to-last (by then) Peixoto's patch (the last one "broke" a few things or, at least, unmarked a few ticks that were already marked in my "ultimate TR2 experience" list). I had a complete tutorial ready which, alas, was 100% depending on that one patch, so I asked him for permission to share a link to it, since he never keeps old versions of his patch available. He wasn't very happy about the idea so I gave up. Since then, I've lost track of any further updates of Peixoto's and Arsunt's patch/solution, so who knows, maybe everything works as it should now using the latest patch. Unfortunately I don't have too much time to find out.

This post that you linked is a small part of the complete tutorial.

I'm glad it worked for you.

So no one has had this issue? It seems like the FMV's are super-magnified

Now I get this. The FMV itself is still super magnified
