For example, the xml file is like that.

Is it that by simple renaming files such as 000SDBUS.002 to sdbus.dll will make it as a workable dll? or Do you have to extract it someway else.

Yep, that's pretty much all there is to it

Oh cool. So all I have to do is install the dlls for the SDHC by doing the steps above? It will be interesting...

Cool - that's what I thought, but I've been afraid to try it. Could save a lot of work getting Pocket PC DLLs for tweaking.

The only thing you have to make sure of though is to make sure the files go in the right folders as specified in the CAB's setup "characteristics." Unless of course you already know what you're doing

right... I wonder if the wm5 dlls are compatible with 4.1 though

well, you have to get lucky

anyway, about cab extracting, you can use OCP cabmanager or msceinf

alright, I'll try that.
