The .dat format you downloaded from rimweb is specifically meant for LG-2030 handset. while LG-6130 does support .mid files and small size is not an issue as long as it is a valid file format.

Ashokjp 15 Report post Posted January 10, 2006 Well Fevin, the ringtones(.dat) available in rimweb is meant for LG 2030 to be uploaded through bitpim and they are in the following format. a midi file is sized to 4096 bytes and a header containing file name is added to the first few bytes of data To reverse this conversion, maybe staticelectricity & ngcoders might help you, since he was involved in the program.

amtrag 20 Report post Posted January 10, 2006 Fevin, Its very simple to convert in PSM player. First open the .dat file in PSM player, then press the red record icon and save as .mid. (don't forget to first check the "create midi" option in the File menu) And thats it...you have a normal .mid file which you caould send to your 6130 as a ringtone.
