Error Important .tar

Hi, my arcade has been working fine but a couple of days ago I attempted to import 3 new games (tar format) and each time I got the error shown below. Can you advise please ?

Hi Andy

I had the same error message once or twice. I think it was caused by me being too hasty after install. Every time I went to next install too fast, I got that message. Cure for me was to just wait a bit and everything came good.

Hope that helps. Rather surprised no-one else has replied.

I had the same problem,I had to edit something in tar.php. I'll try to find what I edit or else I'll attach tar.php here.

wait ;)

The problem is this syntax in tar.php not your speed of Installing games ;)

Code:

var $tar_unpack_header = 'a100filename/a8mode/a8uid/a8gid/a12size/a12mtime/a8chksum/a1typeflag/a100linkname/a6magic/a2version/a32uname/a32gname/a8devmajor/a8devminor/a155/prefix';

Just change it to

Code:

var $tar_unpack_header = 'a100filename/a8mode/a8uid/a8gid/a12size/a12mtime/a8chksum/a1typeflag/a100linkname/a6magic/a2version/a32uname/a32gname/a8devmajor/a8devminor/a155';

Thanks, unitedpunjab (interesting username!)

I've made the code change and will let you know if it works for me too. Seems an insignificant alteration - but I'm no coder. :confused:

Hello,
I am having the same errors when I try to install games. I don't know where to find tar.php... I can find arcade.php but not tar.php. Where do I find that?
Thanks. :)
