Removing ECHELON banner from .CDI in 2016? Anyone?

Post#1 » Tue Sep 27, 2016 7:17 am

I've been looking everywhere for the last few days and I don't believe that this topic has been covered that well anywhere online.. Most of the information is super outdated and the 1ST_READ.bin files seem to all vary in size making HEXing them really difficult. Does anyone know a comprehensive way of going about this? :geek: :?:

Thanks for the advice though that wasn't really an answer to my question..

There are several games I want to do this for at the moment and I'm not really trying to buy all of them. I really just want to know and be able to do this at this point because of technical aspect to it rather than to complete my collection. The main game I am currently trying to do this for is Rez (PAL) and if I purchased the PAL copy I'd still like to be able to make it NTSC self-bootable. Been digging around for days and don't feel like giving up yet.. If anyone has ever done this or has the skills to understand how I can go about it please do chime in. It would be great information for anyone and everyone here in the forum.

If I end up figuring it out myself I'll be sure to let you guys know. Thanks! :D

I agree, buy the GD ROM its worth it ;)

Not only is it far more complicated than you may think but removing the banner would be a pointless waste of time that would accomplish nothing. Echelon rips are ancient and horribly optimized. Better off going with one of the releases from a much newer release group for many reasons that you should research on your own.

I'm guessing this is about skies of arcadia? ;)

I'm just living with it. I couldn't play the game at first because they had removed the pal hz switch menu, and I only had an antenna cable... 60hz video feed into a pal tv through the antenna isn't good if you like colors and a screen not jumping all over the tv haha.

I found some very useful information for anyone trying to reconstruct Dreamcast .cdi images.
