Hi Marius,</div>
<div style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Thank you for these detailed suggestions ! Here are my answers :</div>
<div style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
1. START OID reprinting <b>: </b>Yes, I have been physically reprinting the START OID every single time I changed the Product ID. I've tested with :</div>
<ul>
<li style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Product ID 1 → printed oid-1-START.png</li><li style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Product ID 100 → printed oid-100-START.png</li><li style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Product ID 917 → printed oid-917-START.png Each time with the matching newly printed START code.</li></ul>

2. Tiptoi Manager : I have not been using Tiptoi Manager at all during this process. I've been copying .gme files directly via Windows File Explorer (drag and drop), then safely ejecting the pen before testing.</div>
<div style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
3. Filename diacritics : The name contains no diacritics.</div>
<div style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
4. PDF file :<b> </b>I've attached the PDF file generated by SoniqPen for the corresponding .gme file.</div>
<div style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
The pens still give the same error: "Le fichier audio n'est pas sur le lecteur"</div>
<div style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
I've now tested extensively with Product IDs 1, 100, 917, 942, and 950 - all with freshly printed START codes - and the result is always the same on both my pens (1st gen and latest gen).</div>
<div style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
I'm completely stumped. The pens work perfectly with official Ravensburger .gme files, but reject all custom .gme files (tttool, SoniqPen) even though they work on your pen.</div>
<div style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Could there be a hardware/firmware difference between certain pen batches that causes this ?</div>
<div style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Thank you for your continued help !</div>
