Essential improvements
CubanRaul's modded exe
- Fixes a host of crashes, fixes credits, fixes speed bugs, removes the CD check, and offers its own installation method that allows for modern path characters such as parentheses. Replaces and supersedes Raistlin633's modded exe.
AHK Injector
- Fixes the color bug and the artifacts on the mouse cursor on Windows Vista and 7, adds full compatibility with XInput controllers with working triggers and dpad and can force the game to run in 'HD' using a simple unfiltered scaler (the game will be less blurry but more pixelated)

Issues fixed
System Locale/Language Check Failed
Error message for an "invalid locale".
- This error occurs on game startup with modern Windows when your language for non-Unicode programs is set to something the game doesn't "support" (note that in practice the vast majority of games run fine on different locales from their own).
