Default FOTRSU Install advice

I encountered a catastrophic failure on my Steam SH4 which was on a separate drive. So I've found a SH4 Gold Edition on disc and installed as Rockin Robbins rec in a root directory to use the FOTRSU mod.

In the support folder there's JSGME and LAA which are already installed (I don't want the MultiUser sh4). But there's also FOTRSU original and FOTRSU 2.0.


I know I don't need anything that's in the "EXTRAS" folder.

Then the "data" folder seems to have all the game files.

Is the "data" folder the only one I need to place in the "MODS" folder for SH4? Or do I need to do something with the FOTRSU original and FOTRSU 2.0?

Or just put the entire "100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v0.63_PublicBeta_ EN" folder into the MODS folder and activate with JSGME

Thanks in advance!!

Just put the FOTRSU 0.63 folder in the Mods folder for the JSGME. Install from there. Don't start with the data folder.

Thanks so much. I was afraid of having multiples of some things in there.

I appreciate it.

Okay, I've got FOTRSU up and running and it is GREAT!!!

It is the ONLY mod I have in the mods folder or activated.

I have two graphics problems though.
1) there is a black figure up and to the right of the conning tower. (looks like a parachute
2) the fire and smoke after a kill is very chunky and blocky. Looks like old atari graphics

I have a hoss alienware machine and graphics are set to "high" in-game. Any idea how to fix this?

Also - will other mods run on top of FOTRSU? Are there any i should avoid?

Thanks

What kind of graphics card are you currently running?
