The 'DATA' files breaks also up on my PC. Only RA make this problem, all others works like C&CTD or Quake III or RTCW. 
Anyway million thanks for your work Northfear !!! You make a old man very happy and its a honor for me, still playing TD.
I hope more C&C games are coming from you, since many of them was never original ported to any console, like Tiberian Sun. Maybe someone can reupload RA data folder to a filehoster, otherwise the server from rinnegatamante has a error for RA, error on 98%.

Now Fixed the data files and I was playing C&CRA the last days. Its mostly perfect, no crash, no freeze, nothing. I have done the soviet missions on easy difficulty, there was no slowdowns. I will test later hard difficulty and this will be the final test. I was playing the PC version last time back in the 90 on my windows 98 system, after that I had change to the PSX version and play it million times. C&C1 PSX has mostly no differences to the original PC version, but C&CRA was missing many Maps missions on the PSX copy and some music tracks. In this fact the PC Port of C&CRA is mostly welcome. The Missions Pack has some differences to the PSX version, so it will be highlight again for me to play this one in the original PC version. Thanks for this great diamond. But on all C&C fans check out the PSX copy anyway, its great alternate and its the hardest since saving was not possible.
The BETA copy from C&CRA is WORKING ! I Love you Northfear. YEAH
The copy is compatible with the vita port from Northfear. But there are some little graphic errors in the main menu, but no big deal, its BETA. Unfortunality, there is only Disc 1 found, Disc 2 seems to miss. Also there are no videos, read readme.
The file name say pre-release v0.09c, but the NFO say Version 1.19P, 17.01.1996.

COMMAND & CONQUER [Version 1.19P]
Copyright (C) 1995 Westwood Studios
9. Revision History
===================
1.07
> Initial Release Version
1.18P
> Fixes disconnecting problems with Windows 95 and modem communication.
> Addresses US Robotics modem connect problems at 14400 or 28800 baud.
> Fixes palette problem with the Diamond Viper video card. If you experience new graphic problems with the video movies, then add the following entry to the CONQUER.INI file. The entry must reside in the "[Options]" section. Example:
[Options]
SlowPalette=0
> Addresses the fact that briefings and cutscenes do not appear under certain conditions.
> Fixes a bug with selling silos and receiving incorrect refund amount. Fixing this bug requires all versions playing in a multiplayer game to be identical. If there is an older version attempting to connect to the new version, then the new version must be "downshifted" into behaving identically to version 1.07. This is accomplished by adding the command line option "-o" to when running the C&C.EXE executable.
> Adjusts cost of Nod turrets to $600.
> Fixes problem with not receiving the nuclear missilewhen the special crates are found in certain Nod missions.
1.19P
> On those missions which feature the Temple of Nod, some people have experienced difficulty when trying to fire the nuclear weapon. This version addresses that problem by ensuring that the weapon is available on those missions.
If you have a saved game from one of these missions you can get the nuclear weapon by loading the saved game and then restarting the mission.
> Some people discovered a way to cheat using versions 1.18P and 1.07 such that it is possible to place a structure at any position in the map, breaking the normal adjacent building rule. This has been fixed in version 1.19P but you should be aware that 1.19P still connects to 1.18P and 1.07, so a person cheating with the older versions (if connected to the version 1.19P) will cause a modem or IPX game to fail with a "Games are out of sync" message. You read it here first.

I was testing RA and I got a big error problem. After select mssion 2, the error was so bad that the VITA PSTV was complete restart and boot in safe mode for unknown reason. On the normal way with a error I use home button and go back to vita main menu, but this is very bad with restart.
This error was NOT in the OLD Version.
Testing :
VanillaRA v.1.0-r914
- start new main game soviet
- hard difficulty
- complete mission 1 = working
- ending score screen
- world map
- select mission 2 = ERROR / Restart / Safe Mode (beginning video do not come)
-> A serious error has occured in the system software. This system will restart. (C0-15008-4)
I will test it again...
Second Test = Same Result ! ERROR
-> A serious error has occured in the system software. This system will restart. (C0-15008-4)
More Test = ERROR !
-> A serious error has occured in the system software. This system will restart. (C0-15008-4)
Something is wrong ?

This is weird. I just got to soviet mission 3 w/o any problems. Are you sure that you're not loading old saves? Because they're usually broken between updates.
You can also try cleaning the game files by deleting old saves/configs (ux0:data/VanillaRA/vanilla). Or re-downloading all data altogether via VitaDB for example.

This was maybe my mistake, sorry.
- Yes, I was use the old data files, with old save files. But this was maybe NOT the problem.
Other Problem, short story :
For 2 weeks ago my electric was broken in my house and in the same time my PSTV was on. I was get a error message from my PSTV it say the VITA was not correct shutdown. I was think nothing, but QuakeIII and Max Payne was also not working anymore. And my PSTV was working very slow.
I had search on google for this problem and it was mention that my data files are corrupt on my Sony Memory Card for unknown reason.
I have Format my Memory Card and all is delete, now I install all again, will take time.
Is it possible, that the Sony Memory Card gets corrupt when its not correct shutdown because of lose electric ?

Problem Fix
New Test on clean and fresh Formated Sony Memory Card 32GB.
VanillaRA v.1.0-r914 = enter mission 2, works perfect now !
Seems everything is fine, this was my own bad mistake.
->
Some people say the MC is die, other people say something is corrupt.
I think its corrupt.
When this code comes up (C0-15008-4), it will destroy every data files on the Memory Card over the days and weeks, its not in one day. It feel like a worm and the PSTV works slower and slower. I had also try to repair and install broken stuff and it was working, but it make no sense to work with a broken Memory Card even when I must install all new, when I dont know what it is. The feeling is the MC die, because it go so slowdown that nothing react anymore. In this fact also format is not possible anymore, because it dont react. So format fast as possible, dont try repair data files.
After complete Format the MC, and install over 3.60 new, everything works like butter.
Northfear, just try to format your 64GB MC with the Sony settings and install 3.60 henkaku again with the browser.

Final Test :
Version = VanillaRA v.1.0-r914
Result = Soviet campaign on Hardest Difficulty working from start to end, without any crash ! End screen roll up. Its a high polish port.
Thanks Northfear. I will stay on this version.

@Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons. -
@
SylverReZ:
Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.

Man, that's beyond my brain I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though -

@Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.+1

@
SylverReZ:
Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha

@Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.+1
