Going through the toadster172 MAME fork source, I just discovered that the ROMs named "leapster2_1004.bin", "leapster2_1006.bin", and "leapster2_1008.bin" were actually not Leapster2 BIOSes. So I fixed the known ROMs list and recompiled LeapPCX, and then for fun tried to boot "152-12206_0.6.bin" (an actual Leapster2 BIOS) and now LeapPCX has booted the Leapster2 BIOS up to the epilepsy warning screen despite the fact that Leapster 1 BIOSes still just display a black screen. I assume this is because the epilepsy warning screen is written to VRAM before MQX even starts, but still, very ironic how the BIOS of the slightly upgraded console from 2008 boots up to a recognizable and correct frame but the 2003 Leapster's BIOS cannot boot up to touchscreen calibration or the boot screen after it (presumably done after MQX has booted). How common are super ironic scenarios like this in emudev?

Also if you are wondering what the "toadster172 MAME fork" is: it is the only software that can currently boot Leapster games, and it is the definitive source of info used to create LeapPCX. It can also boot the LS2 BIOS up to the epilepsy warning screen but not much further than that.

As for why I am compiling and running on Windows XP, it is because I want to allow people as many choices for computers to run LeapPCX on as possible, despite the fact that no XP PC would be fast enough to run LeapPCX at full speed

he sleepe by my neck and suckles on my fingers and now we need to buy milk for this 3 week old nugget within hours. He was born around 3 weeks ago by one of our stray cats (the black and white one), He was being dragged into our backyard by one of our neighborhood strays ("baby grey"), probably trying to become a mommy of cats he did not birth, and we found him separated from his mommy and we somehow found him and had to see if we could give him a loving home. If we did not see him in the backyard then he would have almost certainly would have died. Name ideas?
