Cool, since everything has been SHK-ed or SDK-ed.  ANother question... 
normal ISO-9660 is limited to 8+3 character names, which really blows.  I 
have the option of using extended ISO (Joilet, I believe).  Has this ever 
been tested on a GS, or should I just stick with 8+3?  Also, the CD drive 
I have on the GS handles multisession, but does the GS itself handle it?  
I'd like to add to this disc later.  THanks for the help!
