Installation
Version differences
The project has 2 versions, the only difference between them is Cloud's buster sword in game and the buster sword presented on the games start menu.
- The "Crisis Core" version has Cloud with Zack's iconic gold hilted buster sword from the PSP game "FF7 Crisis Core".
- As the "Remake" version has Cloud sporting his more FF7 Remake look with the original OG Buster sword with two magic materia integrated into the blade.
How to install
Once you've decided on your version open the corresponding folders and copy the 0100A5B00BDC6000 folder provided within. This folder has everything the mod needs to function.
You'll need to copy that folder to one of the provided paths below depending on what Custom Firmware your Nintendo Switch is running:
- Atmosphere CFW
/atmosphere/contents/ - SXOS CFW
/sxos/titles/
Also included is a folder labeled "FF7 Switch Overclock Config File". Within this folder you'll find a config folder with a config file inside.
- This config file will overclock your Switch when just running FF7, it will help FF7 run a lot smoother and handle any sort of lag that may arise from using these HD mods.
- Just drop this config folder into the root of your SD card and you are all set.
- Atmosphere users will also need to install sys-clk.
Notes on compatibility:
- Should be compatible with any language of the game since Omnislash is just a graphical upscale mod of the original game.
- This mod can be used with this Because mod ported by chrome99001.
- New Threat is not compatible with Project Omnislash, as it actually changes the structure of the original game. The two will not work together.

Compatibility
Tested on Firmware 14.1.1.
Known issues
Known field bugs:
- Unavoidable crashes - With the Switches limited hardware this project has two story scenes in the game that causes the system to become overwhelmed and crash.
- These two scenes cannot be bypassed with temporarily removing the Char.lgp, or using CFW input methods to not load the mod until after you've passed these scenes.
- CFW input method for Atmosphere users to bypass the mod - Hold L while launching the game
- CFW input method for SXOX users to bypass the mod - Hold X while launching the game
- Unavoidable crash scene 1 - Temple of the Ancients Mural Room when confronting Sephiroth
- Unavoidable crash scene 2 - Whirlwind Maze when confronting Sephiroth (If you haven't noticed by now Sephiroth is a game crashing dickhead lol)
- Another random crash to note: This crash occurs at times but not all the time. but, its best to be prepared for it anyway.
- At times when entering the Northern Crater (climbing down the ladder of the highwind to enter the Crater) after using the x3 speed up tool a crash will occur. Just restart your game and don't use the x3 tool and then decend into the Crater without any issues.
Known battle bugs:
- KOTR aka Knights of the Round when being used on Safer Sephiroth in the final endgame fight can cause the project to freeze up and crash.
- This comes from having to load all 13 HD Knights at one time on top of Safer and everything else going on. So it's best to avoid KOTR in this final fight if possible.

- With the last release I forgot to add in the gold saucer textures for the WM model so it was appearing invisible on the wm. I've updated the project once again with a new link in the Hi-res original download section for this new version. It features the fix for that WM gold saucer issue, various animation fixes through-out the game, a new and improved version of the air-buster boss, and last but not least the gold saucer’s security robot that throws you down to Corel prison (the last model in the project that needed an HD replacement) has been replaced.
