It makes a new SH3.exe, but you need a good SH3.exe file to begin with. Since it is sort of a hexedit/patch.

I'm not saying the file is bad. But could be. If CaptBlanc could post the exact time/datestamp, filessize in bytes. Or even better, use a program to calculate an MD5 or SHA hash for it. Then people with the exact same release (install disk) would be able to verify that.

See: http://www.exactfile.com/

My money is on DirectX 9 vs 11 though. Or perhaps CaptBlanc installed a movie codec-pack he forgot about. Iirc, this could break the files that SH3 needs to play the intro video, or video in the menu. So it could be crashing silently on that. (unless I am mixing it up with other game's quirks)
