| Over the last 2 or 3 years Romvault has been developing into what is now RomVault 3. It started of with the want to include file header detection and fixing. (as used in No-Intro DAT's) and developed into a major core re-work also pulling the core apart into cleaner libraries. Any time you pull some code apart and add a bunch of new features lots of new bugs tend to creep in along the way, which is why it has been the length of development it has been. So now I believe V3 has got to a point where it very much more stable again with a ton of new features over V2. Now there are a few things still being cleaned up, and also a big list of future development, | Over the last 2 or 3 years Romvault has been developing into what is now RomVault 3.

| There was an error in my 2.6 releases of RomVault that stopped it working using Linux (Mono), so here is RomVault (2.6.2) which should work again in Linux.

| Just so there is no confusion: This is a standard Windows .NET release of ROMVault, compiled to run on your Windows PC just the same as any previouse release. The difference is that this same .exe file will also run on Linux using Mono to run a .NET exe file in a linux OS, There are some code changes in the .exe that detect if you are running Windows or Linux, and then some alternative internal functions are used depending on which OS you are running. | Just so there is no confusion: This is a standard Windows .NET release of ROMVault, compiled to run on your Windows PC just the same as any previouse release.
