OFT tune question

I downloaded my original tune file from my OFT to my computer, the one referred to as PRESENT. It showed up on the computer as an ORI file not a binary, and file size 1280 KB like all the others. Can anyone advise if that's correct? Will it load my original tune if I ever need to? I looked up ORI files and read that they are often used as indicators of a backup and that the extension may need to be deleted before the file can be loaded. Sounds a little tricky to do on the OFT.

TLDR: Pretty sure it's fine.

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure you can download it to your PC, change the extension to bin, and open it in romraider provided you have the definitions. Basically saying it's the same thing, just the extension was changed.

I think ORI stands for "original" to distinguish it from stuff that is ok to mess with. Basically it's a binary file that's treated special because you REALLY don't want to erase it.
