Bubblehead1980 borrowed from FotRSU and other mods and updated TMO to his "flavor" variety, and then there is Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate (FotRSU), which is a re-working of the AOTD_MadMax team's Fall Of The Rising Sun (FOTRS) mod, combining all of his various versions into one, compatible with SH4 v1.5. In fact, all of the above mods require v1.5 of SH4, which has the U-Boat Missions Add-On, and is also known as "Gold Edition".

The big thing to remember about the game and JSGME is that Windows 'protects' the Program Files folders, so you do not want to allow the default install path of either the disk, or the Steam version, but rather, make your own folder and install the game there. In other words, when the game install dialog gets to asking, change the "C:\Program Files (x86) \Ubisoft \Silent Hunter..." or "C:\Program Files (x86) \Steam...", you want to change that to something like "C:\Games \Ubisoft..." or "C:\Games \Steam..." something that you make. Windows will let you mod in peace in a root folder you make. Do not install directly to the root folder of the drive...

Thank you for the tips- I managed to remember that issue with the installation; I installed SH4 to its own folder.
