If you can't run the program after those steps, please, do the following for cheking the error: Open Windows file explorer and go to the folder where "PokemonDsMapStudio.jar" is located. Type "cmd" in the file explorer's path. That will open Windows command prompt. In Windows command prompt type: "java -jar PokemonDsMapStudio.jar" Then the error message will be displayed in the command prompt. You can share the error message with me for finding a solution. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy Ds mapping
