Strange thing I experimented today:
if I run Albion CD (from Thalion, the RPG) and then try to run BBALL (Lakers VS Celtics and the NBA Playoffs, Electronic Arts) or VBALL (Kings of the Beach, Electronic Arts), both VBALL and BBALL fail to run with error:
Packed file is corrupt

It happens with all DOSBox forks and stock version.
Of course if I rerun DOSBox and launch those games before Albion there is no problem. It happens only AFTER I play Albion CD.

Nevermind.
Fixed decompressing VBALL and BBALL files with the excellent (and still available 😉) UNP tool inside DOSBox emu: http://unp.bencastricum.nl/

EDIT: site is now unreachable. It's still available through http://f5.club.cc.cmu.edu/pub/scene.org/resou … /dos/unp412.zip

UNP V4.12 Executable file expander
-----------------------------------
Uncompresses files compressed with
DIET, EXEPACK, LZEXE, PKLITE and many
other file compression utilities. UNP
also allows you to convert files from
COM to EXE and vice versa, optimize EXE
headers, remove overlay data from EXE
files and more.
