Function Unpack Error
 

Hi there guys

After many years of running my arcade without any problems, i have gone to add some new games to day and am getting the error

Warning: unpack() [function.unpack]: Invalid format type p in /arcade/functions/tar.php on line 750

Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0. in /arcade/functions/tar.php on line 794

I have no idea what to do next, how do i resolve this, should i think about a re-install or is this an error somone knows how to solve ?

there are some workarounds that can be found here, or wait for upcoming v2.6.7+ where this is fixed :)

Hi there

Yeah found this online and worked ok thanks to someone called gemma on the net who posted this but for everyone else who gets this error here is the resolution i used

Open arcade/functions/tar.php and find:

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

Replace it wit:

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