This involves loading SNESGX.dol into a working file, then using an Action Replay link to transfer codes, ROMs, and the emulator to an SD card or miniDVD. I'm trying this with something called a Gecko, which fits into the memory card slot on a Gamecube and accepts a standard SD chip that holds up to two gigabytes. I imagine two gigs will carry a fair number of SNES ROMs! Not sure if this will work with a ROM having no header, yet.

I would like to get a game controller so I my play you're lovely Lennus-II, plus others games as well. I've ask in a not so directed way at the store if this PC game controller would work with most programs (emulators)? I did not say anything of emulators to them.

> You don't have to have the drivers wildbill, but I HIGHLY recommend that you install the ones that came on the mini-cd with the device. It has force feedback that the standard windows drivers don't provide. As well as much more responsive sensing of the controls. (And I see you finally got yours in. How are you liking it. I prefer them over PC gamepads 2-1)
It is okay, but I noticed a bit of lag or sluggishness, at times. Maybe the drivers in the miniCD you mentioned will remedy that.
What have you been up to...? I've about finished writing Chapter 1 (of 12) in Feda, then I'm heading to the Bay through Thanksgiving. Gotta shift gears some. I'm behind down there. Exposed trenches with new plumbing, since July! Winter is slipping up on me, fast!
