Are you on a laptop or a desktop. My config changes depending on what kind of keyboard you use (but it otherwise works equally well on both).

You need to point D3 edit at your Descent 3 folder. Go to file, settings. At the bottom where it says Descent 3 directory, browse for the path. Alternatively you could just enter it in... in your case it's C:\\Games\\Descent3\\ (from watching your video). Don't worry about the other stuff there yet.

For Obsidian, you did game02, game04, game05, game08, and the credits, right?

I've remastered the Obsidian soundtrack in FL Studio and want to make sure I've got the artist right for each track.
