Actually, there's a check in the slave: if number of files of "dat" directory is not exactly "260" then slave aborts. I have updated the slave and removed that check (attached here) |

thanks, i'll test it :) |
JOTD (developer) 2014-12-27 20:48 |
problem is: if number of files does not match, there could be buffer overflow problem & crash. I'll reinstate the check with a tolerance in case a file is createdby mistake in the dir. |

This game has exactly 248 files in the DAT directory. My version was installed from my original disks. Where are you able to find 260 ?? LOL |
JOTD (developer) 2015-01-03 22:18 |
There are 260 files in the directory (comes from WHDLoad CD) and Harry checked against 260 files. Can you post the list of your files? |
Denis (reporter) 2015-01-03 23:32 |
Hi there :) Ok, i'll try to do that ;) |

Ok, after checking, it appears that once the files in double are passed, and excluded an info file of the US GOLD screen, there must be exactly 261 files inside the DAT folder. This means that the installer is faulty from the beginning. My original disks images have exactly the same amount of files as the IPF version number 1550. Can you fully redo the installing script ? Thanks :) |

Please refrain from posting incorrect info! 260 files is correct as one file won't be copied! Latest version of the patch will display a proper error message in case any files are missing, this also fixes the "resload_Abort called with unacceptable arguments" problem. |

indeed, so those beggars at US GOLD have sent to mastering an original with missing files ? Ah! how clever :/ |
