Should also add that "NOCACHE" makes no difference

Sorry...but the new version seems to have a different bug...

It installs fine and runs...but when the fire button is pressed, the music stops, the screen switches to the title screen, and a couple of seconds later crashes to Workbench with the error:

Exception "Illegal Instruction" ($10) at $12810 occured

Which version did you install? I have tested the new patch with SPS 15 and SPS 2038 and did not encounter any problems.

I do not mean the patch. I need to know which version of the game you have installed. Can you attach your disk.1 file here?

Oh, sorry. I've tried it with a couple of different images... I think they're different but to be honest I'm not sure.

Hmm....keeps saying the file is too big to upload, but it's only 156.4k in size...

It was from this - http://www.whdownload.com/games/Pack-E-2007-01-30/Exolon_v1.2_0015.zip

I tried just swapping the slaves over, but that didn't work so I thought I should reinstall the game so I grabbed an ADF from somewhere else and installed from scratch....same error. It's possible the ADF was the same version of the game used in that install from whdownload, but I couldn't tell.

Reinstalling is not necessary, just replacing the slave is enough. What does "did not work" mean exactly?

2016-12-20 22:18   
Hmm...using that pre-packed install and overwriting the slave with the new version 1.3 seems to work fine.

Sorry about that - must have been a glitch when I was imaging the disk or something...

I will close this then as I have just checked the patch with the image you attached and it works fine.

Thank you so much for taking the time to modify this years old patch... I really appreciate it!
