Note
If it's the first time you're setting up Rolling screens, it'll download a copy of the Rolling screens .zip file program, RollingV2.exe. Once downloaded, a shortcut can be set so you can easily use it in future. You'll need to extract the files and save them to a folder which you can name, e.g Rolling screens
- Extract the files and ensure the rsdata.xml file and the Images folder (which has a long name reflecting the date and time - 20200817165638) are in the same folder as the RollingV2.exe file
- Double click the application RollingV2 to start Rolling screens
Always save future downloads to the same folder.
