I have just started to work/play with the patches on my ID:CORE 100. I have found that some of the patches don't work because they don't have the correct info in the .bstar file. For instance, I downloaded ACOUSTIC SOUND.bstar and because it did not work, I decided to open it up with a text editor and here is what was on the inside:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL was not found on this server.</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) Server at
www.blackstarinsider.co.uk Port 80</address>
</body></html>
Obviously nothing useful.
Here is what's in a CARLOS SANTANA MESA.bstar file:

Now that makes more sense to me.
All this to say, we may be able to edit some of these files with a text editor program and get what we need to make some of these patches designed for other amps to sound right on our.
I think it's a great idea to prefix our uploaded patches with ID:Core...
