Binhack your 1st_read.bin as usual.
Then Hex edit it and look for "A6 00 00 00".
Change it to your LBA value.

Hey thanks!

But there are a lot of A6 00 00 00 strings in the bin file, do all have to be changed?

for example if i use cdrwin just change the string to 11700?

But what about the missing characters, i mean A6 00 00 00 has 8 chars, 11700 only 5 chars.

Look for the one like this :
A6 00 00 00 E0 40 0E 0C

And replace A6 00 00 00 by your LBA value correctly coded IN HEXADECIMAL !
_ 11700 => 5E 2A 00 00
_ 11702 => 5C 2A 00 00

Hi!

Thanks a lot!

But this does not work :-(. Now the loading screen appears, and the cd runs very fast, after about 4 seconds the loading screen disappears.

Do you mind passing me over your .bin files ? that would be nice!

Merci
