# Reloaded II ## Launch Reloaded II ### First Launch * Open your **/P4G-Mods/\_Reloaded II/** directory. * Right-click **Reloaded-II.exe** (you'll have to scroll down a bit) and select **Open with Protontricks Launcher**. {% hint style="info" %} Make sure to launch **Reloaded-II.exe** and not **Reloaded-II32.exe**. If you don't see **Open with Protontricks Launcher**, select **Open With** and manually select **Utilities > Protontricks** from the menu that appears. {% endhint %}

* In the Protontricks window, select **Persona 4 Golden** and click **OK**.

Your Reloaded II window should look like this when you first launch the program:

The Reloaded II window flashes when I move my mouse around.

This can happen when moving your mouse over a button with a tooltip. It is a side effect of running the program through Proton and not anything to be worried about.

A window called "Update Available" or "Mod Updates Available" appeared.

* Select **Update** or **Download** and wait for the download to complete. * Reloaded II will automatically close and restart after updating.

A window called "Reloaded II Tutorial" appeared.

* Select **Skip the Tutorial** to close the window.

## Set Executable Path Reloaded II needs to know where the **P4G.exe** executable is so it can launch the game and inject our mods with Persona Essentials. ### Select P4G * Select the **Persona 4 Golden** icon on the left side of the Reloaded II window.

You'll now be in the **Configure Mods** window for Persona 4 Golden. ### Open Application Settings * Under the **Main** section on the left side of the window, select **Edit Application**.

You'll now be in the **Edit Application** window for P4G. * Behold the protagonist's ***dreamy*** face.

I'm beholding the protagonist's glitchy face instead!

Don't worry, this is just a visual bug and won't affect the game itself. Keep going! ![](https://369712984-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZ91pfOT0FIRiQCLmZ9CH%2Fuploads%2FX1egDx401dJnB7JHxSgl%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=43984c8f-37cd-4084-9176-5a81443ebd24)

### Update File Path * Select the **Update** button to update the file path to start browsing for **P4G.exe**.

A file picker window will open. * Select **My Computer** to view all the drives (real and virtual) connected to the Steam Deck.

Where you go next depends on where P4G is installed: {% tabs %} {% tab title="Internal Storage" %} * Navigate to: ``` Z:\home\deck\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Persona 4 Golden ``` * Select **P4G.exe**, then click **Save**. {% endtab %} {% tab title="microSD Card" %} {% hint style="warning" %} This is the tricky part about modding P4G on the microSD card. **Make sure to go slowly and follow every step!** {% endhint %} #### Get microSD Card ID * Navigate to: ``` Z:\run\media\deck\ ``` You'll see a directory named with a random string of letters and numbers here. This is your **microSD card ID**, which you'll need in a later step. * In a text editor (KWrite or Kate), make a note of your **microSD card ID** and save it as a TXT file in your **/P4G-Mods/Notes/** directory. #### Continue to P4G.exe * Back in Reloaded II, continue navigating the full file path: ``` Z:\run\media\deck\\steamapps\common\Persona 4 Golden ``` * Select **P4G.exe**, then click **Save**. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} * Double-check that line next to the **Update** button shows your path to **P4G.exe**.

## Moving On Congrats, that was the hardest step! * Keep Reloaded II open and go to the next page. {% content-ref url="customize-mods" %} [customize-mods](https://p4g-deck.cep.one/install/customize-mods) {% endcontent-ref %}
