Hi, I've been trying to set up mods for Persona 4 Golden, and unfortunately can't get past the very first step; Launching Aemulus itself. Whenever I go to launch the AemulusPackageManager.exe file, it comes up with a crash. I've downloaded all dependencies and I'm using 6.4.0. Here are screenshots of the two crash notifications:

Have you run the prerequisite installer?

unreal valley
#

Yes

#

The all-in-one install, correct?

#

Or is there another installer I missed

waxen dust
#

nah that's the one

#

Did you restart your PC after running it?

unreal valley
#

no, I'll see if that does anything though

unreal valley
#

So I tried that just now, didn't change anything

#

BLAIZE MAYES??? IN PERSONA MODDING???

#

holy shit

#

hi dude lol

#

i'm trying to think of why aemulus might not be working for you...

verbal tinsel
#

@dusty narwhal would you happen to know anything?

unreal valley
#

is there a specific folder it needs to be in?

#

I have it in a sub-folder in the same desktop folder I keep Reloaded-II in

#

I actually turned OneDrive off because I thought that might be the issue

#

I'll try the latter option, then

#

well that didn't change anything

image.png
#

same exact crash as before

#

I also specifically allowed Aemulus in Windows Firewall and that didn't change anything either

#

there is

#

okay, different crash this time

image.png
#

but the second window popup (I think) is the same

#

C:\Persona Modding\AemulusPackageManagerv6.4.0

#

should it be Mods specifically?

#

that didn't change anything

#

github

#

Try deleting the Config folder

unreal valley
#

Same crash...?

image.png
#

there was nothing in the config folder, is that normal?

heady solstice
#

Hmm looks like it’s failing to make a web request for an image. Do you have any mods inside Aemulus or is this a brand new install

unreal valley
#

should be a brand new install

#

I can try unzipping it again if you'd like

heady solstice
#

I don’t

#

It should only load images when clicking the browser tab

unreal valley
#

while I didn't install anything for Aemulus, I did install these in Reloaded II. would that have anything to do with it?

heady solstice
#

It shouldn’t

heady solstice
#

I made this show messages to indicate which part of the process its in when initializing. Let me know if you see any messages before the crash

📎 AemulusPackageManager.exe
unreal valley
#

Well, let's see here...

#

I got these two

image.png image.png
#

which I think is just

#

what they were before

#

to begin with, I mean

heady solstice
#

hmm didnt even reach the messages

unreal valley
#

I have used the all-in-one installer, though

#

unless there's some other installer I need to use?

#

alright

heady solstice
#

I have no idea what's going on, you keep getting different error messages and I've never seen anyone have this issue before

unreal valley
#

I've only really been getting 3 separate messages

#

one for with the config, one for without, and then one that shows up regardless

#

didn't change a thing

unreal valley
verbal tinsel
#

then you can try running DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth after the command above as well

#

both find and fix files in windows

unreal valley
#

is there a specific way I need to run this or

image.png
#

oh wait

#

I didn't put a space

verbal tinsel
#

you might need to run powershell as admin? i forget if it's necessary or not

unreal valley
#

yeah it was

#

and now we wait

verbal tinsel
#

how goes the scan?

unreal valley
#

74% so far

#

very cool

#

let's hope this fixes your aemulus

verbal tinsel
# unreal valley very cool

often times the files it can't fix may stay like that until you reinstall windows, but i hope they aren't actually broken files like me 4 windows installs ago :,)

unreal valley
#

after over an hour

#

nothing changed

#

I'm getting the same crash yet again

verbal tinsel
#

😔

#

@heady solstice this is definitely a stubborn error they keep getting

heady solstice
#

I genuinely have no clue sorry

unreal valley
#

well

#

guess I'll just wait until the new version has mod support, I guess

#

which will probably just use reloaded-II itself?

#

since I assume it's built similarly to the Royal port

#

sad, but I guess that's just

#

what I have to do suzy_shrug

#

if only I could use it to begin with queen_ohohoh

verbal tinsel
#

i could build mods for you if you want blaize lol

#

actually wait

#

i have an idea

#

fuck what version of aemulus added 1-click support

#

we can have blaize try using that version and updating

#

v5.0 was 1-click

#

@unreal valley would you mind trying to download a rather old version of aemulus? i just wanna test if older builds will load on your machine and if newer components are messing with it

unreal valley
#

sure

verbal tinsel
#

we can slowly move up through the versions if this works :)

#

although the prereqs might have changed over time but those are easy to install

unreal valley
#

still crashed

verbal tinsel
#

what the-

unreal valley
#

as well as... a new one?

verbal tinsel
#

odd

#

what are you using to extract? winrar?

unreal valley
#

7zip

verbal tinsel
#

that should almost certainly work better than winrar at extracting

#

i wonder what the hell is happening THONK

#

for some reason i see people online saying 'if you're getting a 'configuration system failed to initialize' error, run a dism check, then run sfc cuz it fixes some sfc files

#

so idk maybe try running sfc /scannow again to see if it fixes all errors this time?

chrome quail
#

is your config file empty? can you send it to me?

verbal tinsel
unreal valley

oh yeah don't worry, I have been
