Sappy Stopped Working..
 
Well I haven't hacked in a while, so I'm not sure what happened or what I did, but sappy stopped working in the sense that it wont open upon double clicking. It wont even give me any error message, it just loads for a second after double clicking but nothing, no window or anything. Is this due to something I may have accidentally deleted thats needed to run the program, or something else? Thanks.

Just replace all the files in this zip file with all the files in the location that you've originally installed Sappy and it should run and allow you to open GBA roms properly :)

I actually did have that version, the problem is that sappy as a whole wont open. I'm thinking that it has to do with a required program needed that I MAY have uninstalled on accident, a windows program maybe (something along the lines of framework I suppose). Do you have any ideas based on what I'm getting at?

If anything though, just try running the old Sappy installer again, then overwrite your files. Other than that, I'd perhaps try getting the C++ runtime that was current as of around 2006 or 2007.

Hmm well ok. I suppose I'll try reinstalling the original files from sappy12 installer. Thanks

Sappy doesn't run on .NET. It was coded in VB6.

To make sure it works you need to run the installer that comes with the Helmeted Rodent version first, then use the mod 17 version.
