Great job Matt! It's always nice to have more developers join us.

If you don't mind, I'd like to see that DUC file format myself... with your permission, I could add it to my code library, giving you full credit of course.

[Matt140]

Sure! I've attached a file containing what I've found

DUC_Structure.txt

Edit: re-uploaded file with the name "DUC_Structure.txt".

I tested the *.sav to *.duc, and it produced an invalid file (0 Bytes), then closed, when I typed in "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2" as the game name.

I tried again, and it had a message, then it closed.

Try adding a console.readline statement after it writes to the console, if this is written in VB.

[Matt140]

Hmm, odd, the only reason for this is the 23 character limit for the game name. I've got an update ready, so I'll add a readme file describing character limits.

Edit: I've updated it to version 1.1, theres a fix list in my main post.

[codemonkey85]

Perhaps you could also truncate the input string to 23 characters?

My server is busy, so the UniqueGeeks.Net Mirror is still v1.0

[Matt140]

I've updated it to Version 1.1 (Release 2), Thanks codemonkey for the truncation idea
