Runtime errors are the most common form of BIN error you will encounter using Sonic Adventure DX.

In most cases, CAM0301A.BIN runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these CAM0301A.BIN error messages mean that Sonic Adventure DX was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Sonic Adventure DX will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Finding the source of the CAM0301A.BIN error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these BIN errors affecting CAM0301A.BIN will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Sonic Adventure DX director's cut demo.
