dxgi.dll is causing the game to not start, and is giving errors like "The procedure entry point CreateDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library C\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d3d11.dll." or the location of the game.

If you have a solution for this, I would love to hear it. Discord is Criminon#1834.

• check github for latest release
• maybe check mod compatibility?
• download release from github
• rename own dll to e.g. chaudloader.dll.old
• delete chaudloader.dll.old on next start

The game used to launch together with the dxgi.dll hook for reshade, but after the mod installation, it changed in a way that it no longer hooks through it. Is there a workaround?

Edit: Found a workaround by using Special K launcher. Renaming the dxgi.dll that reshade provides (Do not mistake this for the dxgi.dll overwritten by the ChaudLoader! It can't load the game without it!) to reshade64.dll and load it using Special K, it will work.

Currently we do all the repacking in stage0. This can potentially be moved to stage1 instead in on_create_file so if a mod is touching multiple games we don't have to repack every single one eagerly.

MMBNLC Steam Edition Saves are Locked to Account
Simply copying saves from one userdata folder to the other does not work.
Would love to see if you guys could figure out how to get around that.

I have been using ReShade to play the game, but upon installing Chaudloader I found that my shaders stopped working because the dxgi.dll file, which is used by ReShade, has been replaced during installation.

Is there a workaround or a solution for this? I installed Chaudloader to use a Pixel Font mod in conjunction with a scanline NTSC shader I've been using.
(I realize it's not faithful to the GBA's LCD screen, but I love the look. What can I do.)

Thanks in advance.

As of v0.9.0, Chaudloader has its own GUI for enabling & disabling mods. However, this causes issues with controller players & remote-play (Steam Link), as now instead of autolaunching with the desired mods, Chaudloader pops up an interface with each launch that requires the interaction with a mouse.

As a recommendation, provide users with the option to bypass this GUI with a configuration flag (such as by way of a checkbox), allowing the game to autolaunch, as was previous behaviour, and provide a shortcut or launcher for launching into the GUI directly to accommodate.

• purely informational game metadata (e.g. bn5/bn6/etc.)
• maybe something less goofy than exe_crc32?
• mod updater metadata
• loader updater
• screenshots?

Trying to install chaudloader just causes the window to flash and do nothing. Opening the program through a prior command prompt window shows
`Welcome to the chaudloader installer.

I previously had BNLC installed on my E: drive, but both moving it to C: and uninstalling/reinstalling on C: still cause the same issue.

Downloaded the files, there isn't an install.exe (or any other .exe) in any of the folders. You forgot to include the actual installer for windows users, or deleted it by accident.
