    The 'Target' byte is actually a 'Int32ul' (ie 4 bytes) it forms a bit-field of supported/allowed pedal types. You can specify multiple pedals, 0x30 would support both G1-Four and G1X-Four.

    I am working on Python script to ease the conversion of patch files.

    Full list is:
    "targets" / Peek(BitsSwapped(Bitwise(Struct( # Informational, does not rebuild
    "g5n" / BitsInteger(1), # 0x01
    "g3n" / BitsInteger(1), # 0x02
    "g3xn" / BitsInteger(1), # 0x04
    "b3n" / BitsInteger(1), # 0x08
    "g1four" / BitsInteger(1), # 0x10
    "g1xfour" / BitsInteger(1), # 0x20
    "b1four" / BitsInteger(1), # 0x40
    "b1xfour" / BitsInteger(1), # 0x80
    "a1four" / BitsInteger(1), # 0x100
    "a1xfour" / BitsInteger(1), # 0x200
    "g11" / BitsInteger(1), # 0x400
    Padding(5),
    "b2four" / BitsInteger(1), # 0x10000
    Padding(15),
    )))),
    "target" / Int32ul, # pedal that patch is for

    zg1f is ToneLib ZOOM patch file for G1 FOUR, not G1X FOUR. Generally, the patch data is almost the same for these two models, yet there's a model byte in the G1 FOUR patch data that needs to be changed so it would be compatible with G1X FOUR. ToneLib patch files are fairly different for these two models...

    The most practical way to deal with this is going the ZOOM Guitar Lab way, which accepts the patch data file (zptc). So you'd need to get the G1 FOUR zptc file, tweak it for G1X FOUR, and then load it using the Guitar Lab.

    Not sure where you got your zg1f file, perhaps there is also a zptc file.
