    Celebrate when someone replaces the CDFS parser with a FAT one. This is nothing special yet.

    Is the V64 bios just an N64 ROM by itself? If so, you could just write it in C with the GNU toolchain HCS has set up. (some info on it here iirc: http://sourceforge.net/projects/n64dev/) Would probably speed up the production time quite a bit (not to mention making it more maintainable).

    Oh, haha. Well disregard me then :p There are C compilers for that processor too though, but I've never worked with them.

    Err, Rob Webb?

    Wow, great news, thanks for that! Is it a stable BIOS? How safe is flashing it?
