==Known Issues==


*There is currently no option to change the path to your Cemu directory where the modded graphic packs will be installed. If you need to change this, edit or delete the file <code>%LOCALAPPDATA%\bcml\.cdir</code>.
*Certain game files are too complex for the basic merging logic, and custom logic will have to be written for them. Almost all mods made as of Oct 17, 2020 are currently supported, but future mods may not be.
*Only the US English game is fully supported. Some mods installed through BCML may crash other versions, especially mods that change game texts.
