If your door is opening backwards, swap the BTS between $40 and $41 for horizontal doors (left and right), or $42 and $43 for vertical doors (up and down). A: The direction a door opens in not determined by the way the tiles are facing, but rather, the BTS of the door.

 +The SRM path has to be set to the ''Saves'' directory of your preferred emulator.

-<color #FFAA88> ** Runtime Error 6 ** </color>- Running SMILE 2.5 after running Parlor or equivalent throws this error. Delete your INI file if you really need to use SMILE 2.5 again. Occurs at start-up. \\+<color #FFAA88> ** Runtime Error 6 - Overflow** </color>- Running SMILE 2.5 after running Parlor or equivalent throws this error. Delete your INI file if you really need to use SMILE 2.5 again. Occurs at start-up. \\
  
-<color #FFAA88> ** Runtime Error 9 ** </color>- SMILE throws this when invalid data is encountered, either when a ROM is opened that isn't Super Metroid (or a hack of it,) or when pointers or level data are invalid. If this error is encountered at start-up, create a new INI file with SMILE 2.5. If this error is encountered in your current hack work, try a backup. \\+<color #FFAA88> ** Runtime Error 9 - Subscript Out Of Range** </color>- SMILE throws this when invalid data is encountered, either when a ROM is opened that isn't Super Metroid (or a hack of it,) or when pointers or level data are invalid. If this error is encountered at start-up, create a new INI file with SMILE 2.5. If this error is encountered in your current hack work, try a backup. \\
  
-<color #FFAA88> ** Runtime Error 75 ** </color>- Encountered when SMILE can't access the data in your ROM file due to lack of file permissions. Make sure you're not attempting to access something on a read-only drive or while it's being sync'ed by Dropbox (the latter disallows access to the file during an upload.) \\+<color #FFAA88> ** Runtime Error 75 - Path/file Access error ** </color>- Encountered when SMILE can't access the data in your ROM file due to lack of file permissions.

-<color #FFAA88> ** Runtime Error 76 ** </color>Make sure your Plugins folder exists in the files folder. Occurs at start-up. SMILE JX requires you to download version 2.8 before you download one of its updates, for the updates do not include all of the files necessary to run. Overwrite SMILE JX 2.8 with updates! \\+<color #FFAA88> ** Runtime Error 76 - Path not found** </color>This error occurs when SMILE tries to read a directory (mostly SRM or Emulator path in SMILE 2.5) that does not exist or was moved. To fix, delete your .ini file.
