A reliability fix: Legacy.exe, the Kinect DLLs, and the bundle/patch files could silently stop receiving updates forever, even though the updater said everything was up to date.

Fixes

  • Legacy.exe / Kinect DLLs could get stuck on an old version forever. The updater's "this file might be modded — keep it or take the update?" checklist always defaulted to "keep," so anyone who clicked "Download Now" without reading it kept their old copy of these files on every single release, with no sign anything was wrong. Fixed: the updater now remembers exactly what it last installed for you, and only asks again if something has actually changed the file since — it no longer asks about (or freezes) files you never touched.
  • bundle_pc.ipk and patch_pc.ipk are now protected the same way Legacy.exe and the Kinect DLLs always were — if you've modified one, it won't get silently overwritten on the next update.
  • A related fix in the console front-end: a failed or interrupted update could get mistakenly remembered as "successfully installed," which would then stop future updates from ever correcting it. It's now only remembered that way if the download actually completed.

Upgrading from V9.1?

Just extract this zip over your existing install folder (or delete everything except config.txt first, then extract) — your settings carry over automatically. On your first "Check for Updates" after upgrading, you may see one extra confirmation for Legacy.exe/Kinect DLLs/bundle+patch files if any are currently out of date — that's a one-time step so the updater can learn what's already on your machine. After that it stays out of your way.

Getting started

  1. Download LegacyDownloaderV9.2.zip below and extract it anywhere.
  2. Double-click LegacyDownloader-GUI.bat.
  3. Follow the on-screen setup — or open the tutorial for a full walkthrough.

Requirements

Windows with PowerShell 5.1 (built into every modern Windows install). Nothing else to install — rclone.exe ships inside the zip. (Or Linux with PowerShell Core + rclone on your PATH — console only, no Requirements checker there yet — see the README's "Running on Linux" section.)
