Spyro's Adventure Recompiled 0.3.0-beta.4

Spyro's Adventure Recompiled, 0.3.0-beta.4 (test version).

• The log now says where you were. When a level has its Skylander, every few minutes of play, at a crash and with a problem note (F4 > Game > Report a problem), the log gets a line like Where: Level_014 at 83.12 -85.44 0.75: the level and your Skylander's position. With a report we can go straight to that spot, so most reports no longer need your save. Nothing else about you is in it.

• Tested before this release: every level (the 27 story levels, the Ruins, the 32 Heroic Challenges and the 9 arenas), the end credits from start to finish, and every Skylander and magic item of this game as a new figure on the portal. No crashes.

• A sound bug that could freeze the game: when a sound stream's read position ran past the end of its piece of audio, the decoder gave up and tried the same thing again thousands of times a second. The sound got choppy, the log filled with one error (100 MB in a few seconds) and the game could freeze. It now moves on to the next piece, as the console does, and says so once. Found with the logs from ImaginatorsRecomp #16; the fix is in all six games.

The easy way: install Core of Light, the launcher. It sets this game up from your disc and keeps it up to date by itself.

On its own: run SSARecompSetup-0.3.0-beta.4.exe and point it at your own Xbox 360 disc (an ISO file or an extracted folder). It's not signed, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC": "More info" > "Run anyway". The README says which disc version it needs.

The game's data (graphics, sound, levels, movies) doesn't come with it: the setup takes it from your own disc.

Problems: F4 > Game > "Report a problem" in the game, then a new issue.
