Btw, JAP isn't broken.

I completely blanked on JAP...

Thanks Captain, I'll add this into my guide later on.

How many times did I in multiple threads mention that JAP was working hmm?
...
IT WASN'T RHETORICAL, ANSWER ME! 

[karriem2]

i downloaded MNG and i saved it to  my mabi folder then nothing happened.

[CoalChris]

Did you follow all the instructions step by step? It should almost be impossible for MNG not to work if you followed exactly.
Oh and..."nothing happened"...did you turn on the functions of MNG using MNG.ini? Did you copy both dbghelp.dll and dbghelp.orig into your mabi folder? THESE 2 STEPS ARE COMPULSORY!

[karriem2]

i downloaded them then i went to winrar.And I'm stuck like do it put it in the mabi folder that has all the stuff in it like the Data packer?Or the reg mabi folder with all the screenshots and stuff?

[tbstewa]

C:\Nexon\Mabinogi

[CoalChris]

or in other words..."reg mabi folder".

or in other other words... "mabi root"

My quote is relevant to the person's post. Your quote is relevant to a million other posts, but not this one.

Hi guys i have a problem here x.x
I followed the steps:
Install tiara
Place Data Packer into mabi folder and run
Place all 3 MNG files (Pre-Window 7) into mabi folder
Start game

But the client does not start after the hackshield loaded

Thanks for helping!

[CoalChris]

Are there any error messages or anything which pop up after hackshield loads/before client opens? And also post up your MNG log please.

[tower]

Nothing pops up after hackshield loads
But before hackshield there is an attention message about my graphic card not supporting

And here is my MNG log:
[05/17/11 18:31:28] - Starting Logging

MNG_startuplog:
[05/17/11 18:31:28] - ACTION: Performing DLL Loading

The message is standard for graphics cards that nexon does not recognize. Click ok on it.

[tower]

Yeah I did.
But the game still won't start after hackshield Dx

Unofficial Tiara + Data Packer works tho without MNG

[CoalChris]

Redownload all 3 files of MNG and do it again, then if it doesn't work, try the other version of MNG.

[vb286]

if HS does not startup after 5 mins after the info message shows, it means one of three things:
1: HS setup for updating is wrong
2: Your processor cant handle it.
3: your laptop is worse than my dell....

[jonny123100]

3: your laptop is worse than my dell....

oh dear lord, is there such a thing? Nah I don't even know anything about your laptop, but it must be pretty bad if you're throwing that in there.

As for you, what operating system do you run your computer on? If it's vista I believe that sometimes windows 7 works for Vista, because technically Vista is a prototype for Windows 7. So you may have to try the Windows 7 download as Chris stated.

Might want to ask Kota about it, seeing as almost no one on the forums knows how to use it..

That's as half-assed as you can get.

[Lady Playtime]

Added the guide for JAP, I just copypasta'd it, I may edit it later on, make a little dumbed down, easier.

[Marck]

Note: There's an already compiled version he uploaded.
