Need Help Getting Started With Temporal Flux

[The_Lonely_Mage]

Well, I'm new here, and I just downloaded Temporal Flux so I can make my own game of sorts, and I need help!  When I open it up, and go to Open, there's nothing to open!  I've got a CT ROM already, but do I need any other stuff, or what?

[Anonymous]

What do you mean there's nothing to open? The Open File dialog window doesn't appear, or the Open File dialog doesn't recognize your ROM?

The ROM needs to be unzipped or unrared before Temporal Flux can edit it, if that's the problem you are having. The ROM should have the extension of .smc

Does Temporal Flux start up at all?

[The_Lonely_Mage]

Yeah, I unzipped it and now it opens right.  It says the ROM has a header and is asking me to remove it.  Should I?

[ZeaLitY]

Yeah, you have to. You can readd it back in if you're using other utilities that require it. Otherwise, there's no problem.

After removing the header, TF decides to explode into a million pieces...like this:

Anyone have the expertise to figure this one out?

[Geiger]

System.UnauthorizedAccessException

Do you have the file opened in another program?  Is the file marked "Read Only"?

---T.Geiger

[Legend of the Past]

Whoa, are you LM from Chornicles?

Anyway... Same problem.

[Beer Pope]

Aha! It was marked as read only. Unchecking the box fixed the problem.  Thank you Geiger.
