I'm pretty sure you can just rename it to .bin or .rom according to whatever you need to use for recognition.

Not possitive tho, so wait for a confirmation on this!

I took a chance and renamed the file and flashed it.

renaming the file does work!

my only problem was that the firmware I downloaded and flashed it with, didnt work out, i had to reaload the original. Thanks again
