I was wondering.. what is that would make a program compatible with one ROM but
not the other? I know the FTA did a lot of crazy things with the GS, but their
code does not rely on the firmware heavily.. in fact they avoid calling the
toolbox at all costs! So what is it that would stop them from working on a ROM 3?
