I really need help on opening FamiTracker. Chances are, I can't open it because of Microsoft Visual Studio, but I don't see how I would use it. PERIOD. Please tell me how to open it and point to a good tracker tutorial.

Yes, I do usually double-string topics together. Takes less time, and a good skill to know if you have 2 related problems.

I second that. When you download the zip file, extract it into any folder on your computer. Then, double-click the file named famitracker.exe.

You don't need anything like Visual Studio to run any program on your computer (Visual Studio is only a set of tools to create your own programs & edit other people's programming projects).

Anyways, you can visit this site's wiki for tutorials on using the tracker:

Ummmm...... I kinda got a Visual C++ project on my download.
But, I JUST got the proper download. I have no idea how but I'm going to lock this thread. Somehow. Even if it is not I who lock it.

Now I see; you downloaded the source package instead of the binary. No problem; this happens a lot.

Actually, both of the 2 packages contained Visual C files and Visual C files only. I downloaded it from a source I forget.....
I do know, though that file switch hackers are everywhere. FamiTracker makes it 4 attacks this year pointed at me. *tsktsktsk*

Can you list any Visual Studio files in the binary package? Because all I see is the help file (*.chm,) the readme file (*.txt) & the executable (or binary) file (*.exe).

I'm not sure if Visual Studio allows you to edit *.chm (or compiled help manual) files (& it probably does,) but I can tell you that they're not strictly Visual Studio files. As a matter of fact, *.chm files are HTML files (i.e.: web pages) that are compiled into a self-contained, offline web browser (which also explains why this format can also be used for eBooks).

Actually, I had only FamiTracker.SLN, FamiTracker.vcproj, and a bunch of assembly headers and scripts.

It's either someone replaced my download there, or someone seperated it into multiple Visual studio files and and placed it in my download opening while I was choosing wether to open or save the ZIP.
