Failed to open Flashram

[triplethreat]

I use PJ64 on a computer with appropriate specs. I was running Starcraft 64.
Recently, an error message that reads: "Failed to open Flashram" apears shortly after startup.

it seems like it's a bad rom, re-get the rom again, tell me if it worked.

Looks like a corrupt native save. Suggestions:

- Try removing the save (STARCRAFT 64.fla) from the save folder and retry.
- Make sure you are not using cheats.
- Make sure the rom you are using is not a bad dump.
- Make sure the save type has not been changed. If unsure, redownload the latest RDB file (to reset to defaults) from here:

My ROM is from a reliable source, so that is not the problem. I redownloaded it and the same problem is present. I am not using any cheats either. Itried to delete the save file, but another program was using it. (i turned of all my programs and still got this error)

Is the RDB file a word document or an independent program?

Much gratitude to all!

In future if you're going to post screenshots could you please make them large enough to see, would be more helpful that way.

I am glad you got your issue fixed though.

Yeah, I thought that it would only snap the error message. But, even then I thought it would be clear enough to see.
