Good luck with using it and dont hesitate to ask any questions.

To clarify this, Sh3Gen itself does not require Alt-Tab to be used, but:

As Sh3Gen writes into a savegame, you must create one before you can use Sh3Gen.

If you have created a savegame before you can run Sh3Gen on it and launch SHIII after that.

But in 90% people will start a new career and want to use Sh3Gen instantly on this one so they must exit SHIII or Alt-Tab. You could theoretically use it on a second computer through a network, but thats certainly not an option for most people.

Unfortunately thats the way it works and there cannot be another way ..

I found it doesnt bother me that much if you got used to it.

The documentation for Sh3Gen is now under Resources->Documentation or at my site (look at my sig).

Thanks Irish I will check back tomorrow to get your report. Hopefully everything goes as well for you as for mr chris.
