Comment (by mikrosk):

 You know, I'm a C++ programmer myself so I absolutely get what are you
 trying to achieve with the better code and also the anti-piracy attitude
 (I'm actually using those archives just to test games, as I'm about to
 contribute my new backend: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/4687).

 But in this case, I'm a ScummVM user. I have a game which worked in the
 previous official version, now it doesn't work. It is as simple as that. I
 couldn't care less even if the game came to me from garbage can, it simply
 used to work and now it doesn't.

 So unless there is some official motto for 2.7 "down with the retro
 piracy!", I can assure you that your bug tracker is going to be flooded
 with similar bug reports if there is more games which were cut off only
 because they are available on GOG in a slightly different form.

 Quick look on eBay, btw: European PC CD-ROM versions go for about 70 EUR
 there. That's way too much to satisfy one developer's curiosity whether
 both of my archives hadn't been modified for some mysterious reason.

 So if you change your mind, I'm happy to provide any necessary info and
 dumps, otherwise have fun after the 2.7 release. :)
