    Default (Removing) Echelon intros(?)

    Echelon's DC releases with intros.
    The intro is stored in the IP.BIN, in a hex patern(?).
    Is it possible to just replace the IP.BIN of another game, to remove the intro? Cause their intros really get on my nerves. I've started using a Jap copy of Rez over the PAL version, cause it doesn't have an intro.

    (Following example applies to DOA2LE. You can use a similar method for the other games, but the file size will be different.)

    1. Extract the 1ST_READ.BIN file from the CDI or your CD.
    2. Fire up your hex-editor (I like HEdit or Hex Workshop) and open 1ST_READ.BIN, go to offset 0xF0000 and copy the Hex all the way to 983040 (the end).
    3. Make a new file 1929928 bytes large, and paste the contents of the clipboard into it.
    4. Save the file, and place it into a directory (ie, C:\SELFBOOTDOA2LE), and extract the data from the CD or the CDI file into that directory as well. Now just follow ECHELON's self-boot tutorial and re-image the CD.
