As mentioned elsewhere, just be sure and check the radio station with DigitalTrucker's "Radio Station Manager" for radio "events" that are out of sequence. So long as you install the stations as per instructions, and follow the RSM instructioins, it should be able to "fix" the issue, which is an understandable oversight in Captain Midnight's mod. There is a ~LOT~ of stuff in there, and in reality, the game should NOT crash on that, but rather ignore the out-of-order dates / times, and continue processing, but it does not. This is one of the weak areas of the game engine. The only thing that happens when you add radio stations is they take up hard drive space. If properly installed, they should not interfere with the game, other than a slight overall throughput hit on performance.

As for using MultiSH4 to make new Save folders, especially if you want more than just a Stock copy of the game and one for FotRSU, it is extremely helpful. You do still have to usually empty the Save folder between mod version changes and / or additions, depending upon what the mod alters. If you ever forget what folder you created for the Save folder, just run MultiSH4 again, and it does display the name you created previously. However, just like JSGME and LAA, you do have to pay attention to which folder you are starting the app in, and even the SH4 Mission Editor, if you use that, will retain the folder previously used, not the folder you are running it from. You can end up with all kinds of wonky results if you aren't careful... These are old-style programs, written back in the 32-bit Windows XP, exclusive, Single-thread days
