While I'm at it, I will elaborate the above..

Essentially I follow the SCPPF patch instructions to the letter. However it totally skips the area of how to handle the dummy file. That is really all that I need help with.

It has you apply the patch to 1st_read.bin
Then it has you delete all the Right channel sound files. Then it says create a 227242000 byte dummy file. Then he says DONT ASK ME TO HELP YOU WITH THIS< THERE ARE PLENTY OF SITES OUT THERE TO HELP. I know this would be the best site for that.

I can create the dummy file but what do I name it and what do I do with it and where do I go from there? He says, to make selfbootable "follow Echelon's Selfboot instructions" although A)I don't have those, and B) I don't think they would mention anything about a dummy file.
