Comment (by mystrw1):

 Hello.  Just wanted to provide a gameplay status update that I noted today
 trying to start Safecracker using SCUMMVM Development Build
 2.8.0git4431-g527c7230095 (May 3 2023 00:15:52).

 Someone has been making progress on getting the game to start.  Thank you
 very much for that...

 I noted today that instead of the game just displaying a black screen and
 crashing out of SCUMM to the desktop when started, the game now displays a
 white screen and with a pop-up message reading "Couldn't find the needed
 Xtras.  Try to re-install Safecracker."  Clicking "OK"  in the pop-up
 closes out SCUMM...

 In addition, if you reference the earlier-copied WARNING notes, the early
 lines of those notes remain basically the same through the the duplicated
 "RIFX..." & "mmap..." WARNINGs.  Further, the 3 "Cast..." WARNINGs that
 follow have changed somewhat (see below...).  The subsequent multitude of
 "Opcode" & "Argument" WARNINGs have been eliminated as has the final
 "Assertion failed..." WARNING..

 The following new WARNINGs are now displayed when trying to start the game
 :

 WARNING: Cast::loadCastInfo(): BUILDBOT: extra 6 strings!
 WARNING: Cast::loadCastInfo(): BUILDBOT: extra 6 strings!
 WARNING: Cast::loadCastInfo(): BUILDBOT: extra 6 strings!
 WARNING: STUB: Score::loadFrames. frame1Offset: 14 numFrames: 0 version: 7
 spriteRecordSize: 18 numChannels: 32 numChannelsDisplayed: 30!
 WARNING: cb_v4theentitypush: BUILDBOT: unhandled mapping 0x08 0x05!
 WARNING: b_alert(Couldn't find the needed Xtras. Try to Re-install
 Safecracker.)!
 WARNING: Movie::getScriptContext: Unknown castLib 1!

 Not sure where you're at currently w/ Director 5 ... but it appear you're
 making good progress!   Hope this updated info. will be helpful for
 continuing development of Safecracker/Director 5 game compatibility...

 Thank you again for your efforts.  Also, please let me know if an improper
 file config. within the game's .exe directory might be a part of my start
 issue...
