    Hello,
    I am currently trying to start a project by installing all the "essentials" for Fire Red hacking.
    I'm habing trouble at the very beginning (lol) when trying to install DPE for my rom.
    First of all, i can't seem to run the 'make.py' script. It opens up and closes instantly in Python 3.9.
    Second of all, even if i try to run the script through cmd.exe, it tells me it couldn't find "BPRE0.gba" in the master file, even though i put my BPRE0.gba file in the root of DPE.

    What am i doing wrong ?
     
    If you open it in the scripts directory it won't find it. You have to open cmd in the project root and run python scripts//make.py

    Okay, I started cmd in the master folder of DPE with my ROM and i ran python scripts//make.py after changing the offset to 800000 (where i want the data to go).
    When I press enter, it looks like it's doing something for like half a second and then nothing happens. I don't get the offsets.ini nor test.gba files...

    Reinstall python, and make sure to check "Add to path"

    So i reinstalled Python 3.9.0 (dunno if the version's a problem),double checked that i had ticked "Add to path", and I still have the same issue ; no test.gba nor offsets.ini files appear..

    I don't know. Adding to path was the solution I did when i had this problem. Try 3.5 or try adding the environment variables to PATH manually
    Can you provide a video of the Whole process including the installation?
