! align="left" | Roses and Wine
| Roses and Wine is a full replacement for the FF8 midi music. It will update FF8 to use looping ogg music, created from the Original Soundtrack, using bass.dll. Roses and Wine does not touch the executable, and supports both the original 2000 release and the 2013 Steam release.
