You will need the following requirements:
- Windows
- Java 8 (higher versions can be problematic)
- A graphics card compatible with OpenGL 2
- Double click the exe file "PokemonDsMapStudio.exe"
- If the previous method doesn't work, double click the jar file "PokemonDsMapStudio.jar".
- If the previous method doesn't work, double click the bat file "PokemonDsMapStudio.bat".
- If the previous method doesn't work, probably there is one requierement that is not fulfilled.
- 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.
