I've recently tried to download a few cave story mods (i.e. WTF Story and The Witching Hour), but instead of getting an application that I can just play instantly, I get a file full of varied sets of data and exe files. I'm not too good at computers, so I have absolutely no idea what to do about this. Please help me! :pignon2:

Uhhhh...

It's not working.

When I tried to open the .exe file, it asked me to extract something from some other file. What should I be extracting? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Maybe it's because I use Mac instead of PC…?

From the sounds of it, you need to >read the wikipedia page on what compressed folders are<, and draw your conclusions from there.



If the mod is older, you may need to extract the contents into a folder with an existing copy of Cave Story and overwrite the contents as required.

cant he use a windows sorta emulator thing to play the mods? it may work, but it also may be a bit too complicated for him to do it

I'm on a Mac 90-ish percent of the time, and that's what I do.

Thing is, I use a program that I paid for to have all the Wine binaries and pre-made installers, cause Wine is a pain to get CoreAudio to even function at all in it's vanilla/free state.

Hmm... maybe I could use that.

What is the program, and how much does it cost?
