Title: Having trouble starting up FFTorgASM
Post by: justainm on December 26, 2017, 03:18:02 pm
Hi, so I looked through the threads to find some information and maybe it's just me and computer illiteracy  Sorry if this is inconvenient.  I am not a programmer of any variety. 

When I go to open FFTorgASM I get the message in the attached png file.  Am I putting it in the wrong directory perhaps or is there something about my computer it doesn't like?

That error looks like your windows doesn't like it but I'm not computer savvy enough to know any sort of fix to this.

But you can still apply patches without FFTorgASM, if you have excel you can use Xifanie's Spreadsheet template (http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=11594.0) to upload the .xml and it can apply the patches to the iso or savestate. Or the old fashion way with a hex editor and cdmage.

Wow!  That's amazing!  Thank you!  It bugs me that my computer won't run the standard set up, but I think doing ASM hacks this way might make me learn more anyway.  In addition, I tried downloading and running FFTorgASM to a different computer and it worked just fine!  Between your answer and the extra computer I think my problem is solved.  Thank you again!

It might just be that your .NET version is too old on your first computer

i am willing to bet that is the problem; even with SP1 on w7 you still need to download and update .NET to whatever the latest version 7 supports

That was it.  My wife thought to check that too, when I asked her a couple days ago.  She saw that the version was higher than requisite for the program so ruled it out.  I just updated the .net and BAM, I'm in business!  Thank you Bonesy and Xifanie.

yeah when I was rolling w7 regularly updating .net became one of the first things i do

of course now my w7 laptop has Manjaro and my NUC has Windows 10 so I don't have to worry about that anymore lol
