confirm same error under winuae with whdload 17.2.

Rixa (reporter)

Clearly the accepted parameters of resload_ListFiles have changed at some point. The 'name' parameter passed to resload_ListFiles - namely "/" - is at offset 0x832 in the TOBHD file.

I just grabbed my favourite hex editor and changed this byte to 0x00. resload_ListFiles then gets an empty string which it accepts. The game runs, and I could still save and load.

Not the most elegant fix, but it seemed to work.

Patch updated to work with newer WHDLoad versions, interrupts fixed and slave code optimised.
