[SMILE] Runtime error 76 on startup (SOLVED)

[Vismund Cygnus]

I've been looking at getting into hacking Super Metroid, however it seems I am unable to even get past the first screen!
SMILE launches fine, however when I try and select a ROM to open, I get this error message;

Parlor
Run-time error '76':

Path not found

Does anyone know what's happening here? More importantly, does anyone know how it can be fixed? Thanks in advance for your time  :^_^:

Each time I've come back to hacking I've seemed to encounter this issue as well and either one of these two fixes usually gets me past it;

1. Try using SMILE 2.50 if you're not already. I've found it to be the most stable version so far that I've used
2. Try using the JU! version of the rom if you're not already. This has always worked best for me compared to other versions.

There may be more reasons than this but try these two first if you aren't using them at the moment.

I was already using a JU, but I converted to SMILE 2.50, seems to be running fine now. Thank you! :D

If you didn't want to click on it and learn about how to avoid all sorts of other SMILE runtime error mishaps, this one's caused by not having a plugins folder (stupid, I know.) Creating a folder with exactly that name (plugins) will cause this issue to never crop up.

Glad to be of help, happy hacking, and if this is your first time using SMILE I wish you good luck. There's a lot to learn but keep at it!

Ah, okay. That's crazy. But thank you.

I'm learning! Very, very slowly. Expect a hack from me in about 15 years... ;)
