I have been trying to convert additional tracks for use in GPL such as Indy , Daytona etc. so far with not much success. Has anyone had any success at converting other tracks than those specified by renaming the files, and possibly expanding the dat files so that the internal file names can be modified. I presume the conversion tool is hard coded to look for only certain file names but does it care about the data it finds. It might be using hard coded addresses that will prevent it working, but maybe not. -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Noonan (we are not worthy . . .) rewrote the track files for each converted track. There's no hope of the others working. If you look at the tracks in GPL, you'll see that they are different from N3. DD
