Aemulus packages not enabling

[topaz marlin]

I'm new to modding Persona games. I've followed all the steps in Phoenix's guide but none of the mods seem to work for me.

You need to enable them

The ones you want at least

[topaz marlin]

I did enable them

As a test run, I enabled only the original opening+ package and it still doesn't work

[topaz marlin]

Also I don't know if I should've done this but I've configured paths to all that was there

https://gamebanana.com/tuts/15959 phoenix's guide is old af and is mostly innacurate in a lot of ways, use this instead

[topaz marlin]

Well I think I got the HD mod to work, but everything else doesn't seem to work :\

[viscid niche]

how are you launching the game?

[topaz marlin]

Tried launching through Aemulus

[viscid niche]

you need to launch the ELF from pcsx2 after setting the disc path option

it's in the guide

[topaz marlin]

Would that mean "start file" -> P3 ELF file?

[viscid niche]

add the folder your elf is in to your game list, then just launch it like you would an ISO

[topaz marlin]

Doesn't seem as though the ELF file doesn't want to run for me

I just get a black screen

[viscid niche]

you need to set the disc path option to your ISO then

again, it's covered in the guide i sent, read it

[topaz marlin]

Like this?

[viscid niche]

yes

[topaz marlin]

Still doesn't seem to work for me

[viscid niche]

you have host file system enabled in your emulation system and have the hostFS cheat in your folder?

[topaz marlin]

Also have these two in the cheats_ws folder

[viscid niche]

both of these are on?

[viscid niche]

don't put anything in cheats_ws

[topaz marlin]

Yes

[viscid niche]

can I see the contents of the folder your ELF is in?

[viscid niche]

your aemulus paths are wrong then

all of your mods files should be in there

[topaz marlin]

ELF needs to be in mods folder right?

[viscid niche]

yes

did you ever hit build in aemulus?

[topaz marlin]

No I thought that would delete the ISO

[viscid niche]

🤦‍♂️

it won't delete the iso or elf

you really shouldn't have the iso in your mods folder anyways tho

[topaz marlin]

Alright I clicked build

I guess it was that I saw the word "delete" and the mod folder so I thought it would delete itself (don't know how that would make sense though thinking about it right now)

[viscid niche]

close pcsx2 if you have it open, and make sure your antivirus isn't messing with that folder

[topaz marlin]

Says it's being used in another process

[viscid niche]

then close that other process

it's most likely pcsx2 or whatever anti-virus you're using

or onedrive if you're in a one drive backed up folder

[topaz marlin]

I mean I have nothing else running atm (outside of discord and steam)

[viscid niche]

try rebooting then ig

[topaz marlin]

You mean the Aemulus?

[viscid niche]

no, you're entire computer

aemulus just dies sometimes and the only real way to fix it is rebooting

[topaz marlin]

well then...
ok

gimme a sec

Still doesn't build

[viscid niche]

i got nothing then

go report the issue on aemulus' github ig

[topaz marlin]

ok

is there a link you can send me?

[viscid niche]

it's the link you downloaded aemulus from.....

[topaz marlin]

oh ok thanks

I'll try out the discord there

[topaz marlin]

Real quick, think deleting and reinstalling Aemulus might work?

[viscid niche]

it might

[topaz marlin]

Ok

[topaz marlin]

Just curious, do I have to press build everytime I add a mod?

[viscid niche]

yes

I figured out the problem

[viscid niche]

what was it

[topaz marlin]

Aemulus didn't like that the output was where I put Aemulus in

[viscid niche]

oh yeah, that'd cause issues

[topaz marlin]

Ok, I think I made progress (Tested with xbox button prompts)

For now, I'd say this is relatively solved

Thanks for the help
