Good!!

Having a bit of knowledge of how to protect yourself when things don't work as expected is a good starting point. JSGME is a wonderful tool for adding/removing modified files with the game. The only trouble is, its not fool proof. JSGME's creator knew this by adding the Snapshot feature, so we could check the integrity of the stock game files from time to time.

==============

One of the more overlooked things we should do is clean out our "SH4" folder from time to time too. This folder is made the first time you start the game. It's put into your "Documents" folder....... holding your personal game options like screen resolutions, or which unit of measurement you have chosen. It also holds your saved game points as you make them. It's my opinion not to have too large of a saved game group of files saved. Just keep a few later ones, but get rid of the older ones. Their not needed, so get rid of them. Keeping your saves as clean as you can, with as little a chance of the game being confused over too many files to keep track of will help.
