    BTW my Mac Mini is pretty cool hehe but you should tell apple to upgrade the PSU - I plugged in a USB memory stick and the 85W PSU couldn't handle it aswell as keyboard and mouse LOL

    legit: what was the message? "not enough usb power" ? if so, thats not a mac psu problem, but a usb problem .. if the kb/mouse/usb hub already drain power near the usb spec's limit, the usb driver will give the error message.... and usb sticks (especially usb2) tend to take some power, they get quite warm.

    HEHEHEHE COOL FOR YOU!


    NitroROM Format
    A Nitro ROM file consists of the following programs:
    ROM header ROM all management data
    Static module (MainP/SubP) Module that is read and executed at startup
    File name table- Corresponding information between file names and file numbers
    Overlay header table Corresponding information between overlay ID and file numbers
    File allocation table Allocation information within ROM of each file (correspondence
    between file numbers and allocations)
    File image Image of the file itself

    [​IMG]
    If the alignment between each block and the start addresses of sessions within blocks is required, padding will be inserted. The developer can specify unit length settings and whether or not to align for each block.
    In the illustration above, addresses are allocated in order of a) - f). This illustration, however, is only for the purpose of easily understanding the organization. The ROM header is fixed at a top offset within the ROM. Other blocks are linked from the ROM header by pointers (offset values from the top of the ROM) directly or indirectly. Because of this, you can freely change the arrangement of blocks, except for the ROM header, by swapping links. The illustration below is a conceptual link diagram. Use this to try and reduce the costs related to emulations of ROM images.
