> About the Floppy vs parallell port thing... Sure I understand you don't play a game for like a couple of minutes, and then you want to play the next one... Ok, but I'm talking about games that are 16 Mbit or bigger. You have to split them all the time, THAT's a VERY damn pain in the ass, and I mean a really big wooden baseball bat in your ass...
> Splitting all games, and copying them back and forth all the time... jeez, hell no for me...

> And, fuzzypickle, splitting a ROM takes like 5 min... converting it, takes less then one... What is more timeconsuming, not mentioning less stressful?
