3 months ago Hi,
I'm sorry for taking so long to respond because I've forgot about this program for some time,
are you saying there is a version out of the DDI Wad files that is new? Probably, but WADExplorer probably can't load these versions yet because WADExplorer can only load 2 versions of WAD files and I bet it could be a version that wasn't implemented and that I didn't know about.
I only reversed-engineered the versions of the WAD from Ninjabread Man, Monster Trux Extreme and Rig Racer 2.
I keep getting overflow issues depending on the size of the Wad file, I tried several from different DDI games (Tonka Space Station PC, Ninjabread Man PS2, My Personal Golf Trainer, etc), and it seems ones under 30 MB load fine but ones over 50 MB will always fail to load (MPGT's Wad in particular is huge at 560 MB). When loading I get this error:
The file (0x0000/0x68656361) has failed to load it's [sic] buffer Expect some errors for now on!and then it gives me a long error text, here's the beginning part from it"

I know about three different versions of it: the original from Conquest Earth, the WWAD format from Lego Rock Raiders and Gubble Buggy, and the WADH format from Tonka Space Station onward (and also some various PSX ones used in only a few games). I wasn't aware of the WADH format changing at any point though.
