The launch flags sometimes can't be completely trusted. I have no idea what the rationale is, but the sysAppLaunchCmdCardLaunch code sets the sysAppLaunchFlagNewGlobals and sysAppLaunchFlagUIApp flags. One of the consequences is that the typical ROM version check recipe will put up an error alert twice when an incompatible application is launched from a VFS volume. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
