I love "projects" registered 10 years ago and not having released a single file since

Did you ever test ??? FYI: it doesn't. Just GLUE32.DLL seems to work, all other is crap (many missing imports in "NTDLL.DLL")

Any improvements here ???

The deal had been clearly documented, I wrote:

Funny, I never had this BUG ...

OK, if your "MB" has cca 560 Byte's

BTW, Sherpya meanwhile (07-31 08-01) released a new version having the BUG fixed. It has even 2 working VP8 decoders, the default one is of course the slow one (use -vc).

So my hacky patch got obsolete after a few days but sometimes such a patch release can be very effective to push the "proper maintainer" to fix something. Oh well, I have to patch HX again, otherwise the HX bugs will never get fixed
