 =Shift-jis Converter=
 Depending on the Emuera version used, era can only run files with certain encodings, two of them being Shift JIS and the other being UTF-8 BOM. The difference is that some programs like GitKraken and node.js (Visual Studio Code uses that for searching unopened files) cannot decode Shift JIS. Because of this games are converted to UTF-8 BOM in most cases instead. <br />

+There are five methods.
 * [https://gitgud.io/CRER/eraencodingconverter/-/releases EraEncodingConverter] - C# program that can convert file line endings and encoding (UTF-8 by default). Has compiled executables for Windows, MacOS and Linux and a Python 3 version that has less features but can autodetect encodings for converting.

 * Manually converting it using a text editor - As the process has to be done file-by-file it is not recommended. It does have merits though in case the above two fail.
