How providencial! I was just lookin at this too and had some questions.

I did get to the readme though. Where I am a bit confused is regarding the "Additional Merchants 2" MOD. I'm currently using the NYGM mod and am trying to find in the doc (pdf) if this is included. I just searched the PDF and didnt get a hit so I'm guessing NOT.

What about the folks using GW?

Might as well ask for them too while I'm at it <grin>. Thanks for your work with the SH3 Commander tool JScones! Its very helpful.

UPDATE : It took me along time to track down Sergbutos website so I'm adding the link here. This is the location to get the Additional Merchants 2.0 MOD

The readme was last updated in January, prior to (popular) GW or NYGM existance.

However, I would be *very* surprised if GW and NYGM did not include it, or some derivative of it. It's pretty much now considered one of the "standard" SH3 fixes.
