At detection, I think it only scans the top-level directory, not any sub-directories. So it wouldn't find clusters/players.clu since it's in a sub-directory.pmaciel wrote: i din't go very deep, but i understand that if the ocx file is missing it should detect the non-alt version (because i have "clusters/players.clu"). it doesn't work this way though...
The startup.inf is used (by the debug console), but not required.
