This archive contains a fix for a bug found in silent hunter 3 v1.4 casued by a memory overflow when playing 44100hz, 16bits stereo sounds.
This bugfix works by converting all 44100hz, 16bits stereo sounds into mono.
If you have experienced crashes to desktop whit sound hangup or sudden system reboots (especially on computers with onboard AC97 audio) this could be the fix you need,
(and it dosnt harm to install even if you havnt, it might give you a performance boost)
this has been a known problem for awhile, but so far i havnt seen any released bugfixes for it, so now here is one
big thanks to oRGY for pointing me towards the problem.
install by copying the "data" folder into your main SH3 directory.
best regards/ Deckard
