I just ran through the steps I listed just to make sure I didn't mess something up and it still seems to work for me. Just to clarify, what do you mean when you say it didn't look different after you opened FF9? Do you mean that the launcher for FF9 looked the same as it always did, no extra options just purely vanilla? If that's the case that probably means that Moguri or Memoria hasn't been installed correctly.
Also this isn't related to your question and is more of a general announcement: for the last couple of month and a half I have been working on a pretty significant update, specifically going over all of the battles in the game to make them more challenging. The early game in particular isn't really in a state that I like in 1.16 and my hope is that it'll change pretty drastically. The mod isn't turning into a hard mode mod or anything like that, but I don't think I went far enough when I originally made most of the changes to battles.
I have no idea on when it will release, I'm hoping on some point within the next few months, I just need a solid block of time where I can sit down and really mess around with it.
Moguri launcher looks the same, with no changes to add the install mods option.
When I followed the instructions as well as I could, and then manually changing the priority stuff myself in the txt file, it broke the game.

I could only get DBE working if I did a manual installation without moguri mod which I'm not really interested in doing because I like the look of moguri so much lol.
I'd like to play DBE more than I'm interested in AF, but as it stands I just don't know why I'm not able to and after I spent almost an entire day trying to get it working, I don't know if I have the motivation to keep trying to troubleshoot it when I don't even know where to begin fixing it.
