Known Bugs
Due to the fact that this is a custom battle arena distribution, it is recommended to use the My Stuff folder from OptPack if using Riivolution, since most other distributions will not allow usage of battle arenas. (The user should set "The Pack" setting to disabled, and "My Stuff" setting to enabled in Riivolution).
Unfortunately, Riivolution struggles to playback THP videos correctly through My Stuff (SD card access is slower than DVD access, especially for streaming of audio and video, and so stuttering happens). This pack also includes a patched Award.szs file, a file which is known to crash with Riivolution. For those who wish to have better THP playback and to have the proper Award.szs file patched, this pack includes a simple ISO Patcher. The next version of Hover Pack (v1.0) will have the THP videos re-encoded with a better balance between JPG compression and visual quality, for better THP video streaming.
Other bugs in the pack inclde the coin icon shown in the "Coin Runners" (now "Flag Grabbers") menu still showing a coin, not a green flag (despite the proper files being replaced), and some of the new itembox item models not displaying their new shadows. This will also be fixed in the next revision.
