There have been a few changes to VASL since you created these videos. For one thing, apparently the boards available for download on the VASL website are no longer the latest versions of those boards. Apparently, if you’re running 6.6.6, it will automatically download the latest version of any boards you need. (You probably still need to set up a boards directory.) I don’t know if this is true every time you create a game, or if the program automatically checks to see if you’ve got the latest version before downloading it again, assuming you’ve already downloaded a board.
Yep, VASL continues to evolve and some minor portions of these videos won’t apply anymore.
