Hi,
Yes, it will automatically place it in the correct place. The reason you want to name it something like, "0A.DAT" or "000DUMMY.DAT" is so that it will show up alphabetically before the rest of the game files. The "1st_read.bin" will still be the first file the DC reads so you have nothing to worry about.
Just throw that dummy in the root directory of your game, make your *.iso, and burn that thing! It's as easy as that. : )
I hope this has been helpful.
By the way, you can also name your *.iso image anything you want. In the Echelon tutorial, it tells you to name it "ECHELON", when it says to type:
mkisofs -C 0,11702 -V ECHELON -l -o data.iso data
instead, you can type something like:
mkisofs -C 0,11702 -V "MS. PACMAN" -l -o "ms. pacman.iso" data
or
mkisofs -C 0,11702 -V "MS. PACMAN" -l -o data.iso data
Just make sure that if your name has more than 1 word, you include the quotation marks.
This way if you stick your disk into your CDrom on your PC, it will show you the name of the game and not "echelon."
Take care,
-Ex
