This is a convorsation I was having, but never finished, somebody please answer!
I have downloaded everything and understand everything, but when I try to put the files into the "custom" folder, or even any file, it says "The file '[some file]' could not be moved because 'custom' cannot be modified." PLEASE HELP

If the Marble Blast folder is in program files and you aren't on an admin account, I think its only read only. Maybe try moving it to My Documents or somewhere where you have write privileges. Or you can get the computer owner to upgrade your account to an administrator account.

I have a mac, any ideas? I did show package contents, and I did notice something that said "everyone: read only" and "unknown read only" and "jamesfelt (me) read and write"
I am the ownner of the computer and am logged on as an admin.
Also, I tried copying the folder (by drag and drop) to desktop, and put the levels/interiors in the copied folders on the desktop, but they werent transferred to the real one, and I could not move them to it.

Make sure that you can read and write the custom folder, right-click or ctrl click and select "Get Info". Go down to Sharing & Permissions and make sure ' (your account) (me) ' can Read & Write.

So, I figured it out, and hoppefully it will help people. I was trying to modify the exact file I downloaded, with was the "base" file whichsince it ws paid for cannot be edited or deleted. I kept that in the folder, but copied it to desktop, and once a Marble Blast ws in the desktop, I could modify it. So I now have all the 2000 or such custom levels, working perfectly! Thanks!

You can't write on the game, but you can write in it's library directory, that was the problem :)
