[Mr Rob]

I know nothing about the game, but this line here....

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./elemental.py", line 1440, in <module>

    	if __name__ == '__main__': main()

  File "./elemental.py", line 852, in main

    	p = open(savefile, 'w')

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/utmp/elemental/Applications/Data/elemental_save.dat'

makes it look like Python is crying because it can't find a data file....


Were you making any changes to your appdata directory?

 

[Silent-Hunter]

I did flash to HF6. Maybe that did it?

 

[Cloudef]

HF6 forces all PND's to use appdata (Well "forces", it just sets the $HOME(and maybe some others) for those who were lazy)


Check if you have 'elemental/Applications/Data/elemental_save.dat' in your $HOME and move it to 'appdata/elemental' in your SD.

 

[Silent-Hunter]

It wasn't in my home, or anywhere. So I created it in the appdata on my SD card, and now it works! Thanks!
