Hi Asman. Thanks for an updated Zaxxon installer. It might be my setup but the install wouldn't install from PCMCIA, Guruing! (from RAM: was ok) The installer produced a corrupted gamefile giving garbage onscreen when played. Pascal's icons wouldn't show during install.
What I later did was add the gamefile and savegamefile from the install (red icon) briefly posted on Mantis issue and it's ok.
Was going to ask - original gamefile is around 436k while WHDL gamefile after install is around 115k. Is that right that it's reduced?
Thanks

Installer v2.0 requests 512k gamefile location when 1MB gamefile is previously selected. Would this cause an issue?

Hi Snoopy1234

> original gamefile is around 436k while WHDL gamefile after install is around 115k. Is that right that it's reduced?
Nope is not right, after install should be 442164 bytes for Zaxxon1MB and 391688 bytes for Zaxxon 512K.

> Installer v2.0 requests 512k gamefile location when 1MB gamefile is previously selected. Would this cause an issue?
No it should not. But this is my mistake in install script. I did by copying zaxxon512K part and forget to change. I will fix it.

I am not an expert with PCMCIA but I think that is something wrong with your setup. Please try to resolve this problem by setting correct Max_Transfer to 0x1FE00. If this not help than you need ask on EAB. Please back to me with feedback.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Asman. Installer worked from PCMCIA this time round. Selected 1MB file during install and the file-size is correct and installer completed successfully.

Requester for file location does need updating.

Thanks.
