Belmont Soft-patching is a core feature of NST as far as I know, so if Richard doesn't hook it up it's not Marty's fault. The patching actually takes place in the Windows shell code right now. I could change that though and move it to the core instead and add an optional std::istream parameter to the loader functions. Would that work?

That thread confirmed everything I ever thought was bad about nesdev - none of them give a flying frak about the actual hardware or software, they just like the free games. I expected that from most people, but it was disappointing to see it from the likes of Blargg. Ahh well, when MAME and MESS go to xml-in-a-zip-wrapper ROMs at least they can't say we didn't warn them it was the Next Big Thing ;-) I just read the thread you're talking about and... wow indeed. It's rare that I see such high levels of ignorance.

I saw over at the aformentioned thread over at nesdev http://forums.no.intro.free.fr/redirector.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnesdev.parodius.com%2Fbbs%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fp%3D31392%2331392 That you're implementiation of the XML format allows for merging of clones into a single zip, over at no-intro we are hard at work for identifing parents/clones for this kind of merging, maybe using this XML based system will allow for a better more coordinated way to define parents and clones than the current text file list we use, see here for our current system: http://forums.no.intro.free.fr/showthread.php?t=1999

A damned BAD CHECKSUM. Aren't there good dumps with a known incorrect checksum? Or is that more of the goodtools koolaid recirculating? And to Marty, why not put the ines files inside the xml file, like here? Code: <dump format="ines" system="nes" country="us"> NES@DiskDude!'*"7* **((**7 ... </dump> I'm assuming the format would support more than one system type? Sorry for joining the thread late.
