Hi. I am new to GBATEMP forums so please bare with me. I love your work. I really want to get it. I have a r4 card that is all set up and it is (fat) version, and I don't know how to install it correctly. I am using the recommended version. When I open the Game it has an error. Can someone tell me how to properly install this game on a r4 card (fat) ? Thanks for your time. Hope you can help.

So, first let me know if you've tried running it using this method (executing using an alternate launcher):
1. Download Aura Launcher (or hbmenu)
2. Extract the zip and copy the "Aura-Launcher.nds" file to the SD card.
3. Launch "Aura Launcher" on your R4i.
5. Select Mine DS Emulator version and click 'A' to launch it.

Also, make sure you extract the contents of the Mine DS download directly into the SD card. Lastly, the make sure the name of the folders are the correct case for instance, it should be "data/Mine-DS", not something like "Data/mine-ds".

Let me know what happens or if my directions need clarification. I hope it works :D.

The launcher is working fine (Btw great work I love it) but the emulator version still doesn't work. The game opens and says Guru Abort on a red screen. I have a FAT32 r4 card

Maybe I could send a video later.... so it would better help the issue

Where's the video? Also, I just realized that for some reason I have it set up where you copy "Mine-DS-FAT.nds" to the sd card, and then also the contents of "sdcard" into there. So actually, don't simply extract the ZIP into the sdcard. Instead, copy the executable and the data folder.

Finally, if it still doesn't work without the launcher, you can manually DLDI patching the file for your r4 by using this software with this file on the Mine DS nds file.

Oops it seems I can't upload. Also. It still didn't work. I'll try the DLDI patch software later (probably tomorrow) Also here's a photo of the error when attempting to open MineDS

UGH I KEEP GETTING A RED SCREEN
All I can say is, make sure to place the .nds directly into the SD card (not in a folder) and also put the contents of "sdcard" directly onto the SD card. And if even then both versions don't work, you can try using Aura Launcher combined with the "Emulator Version".

How do i play PortCraft?
Also, i have a minor issue with Mine DS 4.1, sometimes it will let me save a world but sometimes it just freezes up before it finishes.
Just wondering if anyone could tell me the answer to one or both of these minor questions of mine.
