ahhhh!! Now we're getting somewhere :happy: :

If you can't see '1st_read.bin', but only '1st_read' and you can't see 'bonito.drv', but only 'bonito' then do this:

1. Open explorer window and browse to where 1st_read is located.

2. On the explorer window menu, select 'Tools -> Folder Options'

3. A new window will open. Select the 'View' page.

4. On the view page, uncheck the 'Hide extensions for known file types' setting. Also select the 'Show hidden files and folders' option.

5. Click Apply and then OK.

Now you should be able to see all the extensions in whatever folder you browsed to. You should also now be able to change the extension by doing a normal file rename. Windows will warn you when you attempt to change the extension, because this is not normally the right thing to do. In this case however, you must change bonito.drv to 1st_read.bin

Is there a 'dummy.bin' file on the original .cdi? If there is, then why haven't you copied it over to the data folder? Are you sure you are seeing all extensions properly now?

I'm suspecting there is no 'dummy.bin' on the original .cdi though. If that's the case, you could try creating your own 'dummy.bin' in the data folder. Just copy any small file to the data folder. Make sure extensions are visible and rename the small file to 'dummy.bin'. If you need to do this, then it reinforces my suspicions that you have a different echelon version because if it didn't need dummy.bin before the patch, then all of a sudden it does, that's an indication that the new 1st_read.bin you have made is meant for a .cdi that did already have a dummy.bin present on it. Phew!!! Hope your still with me...

By all means keep going, but I think when you finally get to rebuild the .cdi, it will probably not work because the patch is for a different echelon version to what you have (at least I'm pretty sure it is). I really do hope it works for you though, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't.

doesn't work, if I try it, it always says it can't find things like IP.BIN, and stuff...and I do h ave have the correct version...

edit: hahaha now when I finally got the files it gives me access denied...
