All I remember was that some roms needed "Nesticle specific hacks" to operate properly, which is the wrong way to go. I don't mean Nesticle did rom detection... it required changing the contents of the rom to operate properly.

Ouch. Good thing I have file sharing disabled. I'd hate for someone to steal my source code, heheh.

... amazing. I actually have a new winner for "most ridiculously made-up story of 1998". That year was a real gem and a half; what with RPGe's "closings" due to "Chinese piracy of (their) partial English FF5 translation", Mike Gregorson's fake heart attack, etc etc. Man, what the hell was with 1998, anyway?
