YOU CAN RIGHT CLICK AND UNPACK THIS ISO WITH 7Zip, WinRAR OR SIMILAR ARCHIVE SOFTWARE TO ACCESS ALL THE FOLDERS AND IMAGES..
YOU COULD UNPACK IT & CREATE A SHORTCUT TO THE 222Database.exe, SO IT DOESN'T NEED TO UNPACK (or mount) EVERY TIME YOU WISH TO OPEN IT.. JUST REMEMBER THAT AN UPDATE SOMETIMES REPLACES EVERYTHING DUE TO REORGANISED FOLDER STRUCTURES (and changes some some file names) SO IF UNPACKING AN UPDATE THEN COMPLETELY REMOVE THE PREVIOUS FILES & FOLDERS.
DON'T EMAIL BUG REPORTS FOR OLDER VERSIONS.. CHECK THE LATEST VERSION FOR THE SAME ISSUE.. IF YOU FIND THE PROBLEM IN THE LATEST RELEASE.. THEN PLEASE REPORT IT BELOW OR ON THE FACEBOOK RELEASE THREAD ;)
FINAL NOTE:
I had a few people offer to gather "operator info" sadly not one of those offers kept to their word and as such im pretty much done with this project. I have modified the 230 screens to load what ever 230 images "you wish to add" into the 230 folders, you can add Tail folders within the c/n folder if you wish, likewise for the 430 folders too.
I might do more work on it in the future but frankly i think ive done enough on it for now.. No kick starter, no go fund me.. no donate button.. its free (always has been) but as ive been let down with the OP info im done for now. Couldn't really be any less enthusiastic about this project, i worked hard on it, its a fantastic monument to the 222, it covers more info than any and all websites...
