Something else I forgot to mention, the Dreamcast runs Windows CE, so this
should be a fairly easy one to code for.
Plus the playstation 1 has parallel IO on the back for plugging "action
replay" type cartridges in to it, most of these have standard parallel type
connectors on for attaching to a PC for downloading Cheat codes to. There
should be some way of utilising this method for transferring code and
exponents to and from it. It would however mean manufacturing the cart's
for it, and there would obviously be cost implications in this.
see http://www.x-plorer.co.uk/ for details of a cart that already does this.
