QuestionDoes it work on a phone?

QuestionIs there a way that I can download this for free?
Community AnswerYes, you can download it for free on LearnMMD. But you might have to download something else because of a missing DLL file. -
QuestionHow do I add textures?
Bevin OlsonCommunity AnswerThe textures should appear on the model without you needing to add them. The model textures are linked to the model's data through either PMX Editor or PMD Editor, or through their original modelling program. -
QuestionWhat if the application says:"The application has failed to open" and I try to use the command prompt and it doesn't work?Bevin OlsonCommunity AnswerIf you're getting a missing DLL error, it could either be because you haven't updated DirectX enough, or it could be that the Visual C++ Redistributables haven't been updated. Both of these can be gotten from Microsoft's website by just searching for them. Make sure that the Visual C++ Redistributables are 2008 or higher.
