- Problem: It's not STE compatible!! (At least, none of the STE owners
- over here have made it work).
-
- Use Ultra-Pack if you are going to do something like that, as it compresses
- the data a LOT better than Magic-Shadow!
-
- Or try & locate the macig shadow (version 1.31 or something), that has
- a better compression in it (put in by a third party....).

- Chaos would be the best one, if it worked on the STE!
