@SSB, Hitman,

Thanks for the correction to my German language, SSB.

This mod is intended to work only with H.sie's patched V15G1 mod.

The reason is this:
In creating the H.sie V15G1 mod, H.sie's patch code very cleverly modifies certain alternative SH3.exe versions to mimick the official SF-free 2006 release. Then it adds the V15G1 patch.

Therefore, by using this pre-patched version of SH3.exe, I can be sure that the Surrender mod will work properly, without having to worry about the problems caused by the various versions of SH3.exe out there. (H.sie has given me his permission to use his V15G1 patch in this way.)

If the Surrender mod works with the unpatched official SF-free 2006 version of SH3.exe too, then that is an unexpected bonus. I am also surprised, because H.sie has extended the free memory space in the official SH3.exe to provide extra space for our patches, and (so far as I am aware), the Surrender mod uses that added free space!! Maybe I am unknowingly using original free space in SH3.exe (my code uses ca. 0x635170 to 0x6355F2 - which is a big patch).
