'Our Life: Beginnings & Always' fails to load from archive

[Engired]

Struggling to port anything currently, I've had some success copying files over from working ports (like the Echo port) but I'm stuck again. Also tried porting the sequel, Now & Forever, but that hardcrashed my Vita and only left a Data Abort error log (if it didn't corrupt it right after). Distribution tool also refuses to make a .vpk.

(sorry for listing so many issues in one issue, I've had zero success getting anything to work)

Does it also get stuck on "Copying Required Assets..."? I've even decompiled the assets of a game I want to port and it still gets stuck there. It seriously needs an update.

That is fairly typical and happens because it's a 'naive' copy, it will respond again eventually. Technically it should also be possible to just directly copy from working builds, the renpy loader should be completely seperate from the scripts, but it's doing a lot more copying and such for various reasons.
