    u have the answer for everything dont u :P
    awesome.
    hmmmmm. sounds like it will work like i would have to back up my memory card to be safe and SOMEHOW do it that way. that thing is. really i would rather just have a small linux that all it does is just load the kernal and what is needed and just have a script that it plays though and just loads the game it self. no clickin or anything just it starts. i feel like im asking to much but. its worth asking.
