I have my hands on a demo of FF7 for pc (Specifically the 1998 version). I can run it to some extent, but the important part is I can get to a battle very easily. Unfortunately, Direct3d does not work on it, so ninjaripper and 3D ripper just... don't. The PSX version didn't fare as well either, because even on an emulator things are still messed up. The entire scene from where the camera was located during the render is flattened, almost as if you took a photo of the fight with a polaroid.
Main thing I'm asking is if there is a way to rip the models from games that are using the "Software Renderer", which is fairly common in older titles, including Doom, Unreal (Tournament), Half-Life, and the one I'm desperately trying to figure out is for FF7. Unless there's a way to access the models in some external application and use ninjaripper from THERE, then I'm pretty much stuck.
Any advice?
