Rosomaha's S3D configurator gave me the idea of checking the controllers of some of the "problematic" units, and I discovered that they feature a number of old SHIII controllers which have been updated in SH5. I wonder why no one, including me, thought about it before
Controllers which have been updated in SH5 generally share the same structure than their SHIII-IV counterparts, but they add a few customizable properties to the latter. While still working in SH5, at least partially, out-of-date controllers are a potential cause of fatal errors, because the game might try reading vital information which is missing, or located at the wrong address, within the binary file(s) containing those old controllers.
There are still excellent reasons for processing all the dat units added to the game so far so that they become granny objects, but before we embark in the conversion work we should at least track down all the "bad format" controllers contained in their binary files, and replace them with updated controllers.
