| | Rom wasn't originally made for Windows, so you'll either need to find a Windows version of Rom, or get a linux host. Or you could download Cygwin and use that to run Rom. |

| | Looks like the area is corrupt, or something of the sort? It's not reading teleport.are correctly. What are the first few lines? |

| | Yes because of code differences most likely, it'll not run correctly. It seems like the code for areas has changed enough that they cannot boot. You could try converting the areas by comparing the old and new code/areas, but I really doubt it'll be easy or simple. |

| I really just need a host to put the code on and run it but I want to do it locally, because I'm in the process of learning and want to be able to break stuff on my own =P
