- I would love to see a version of SwitchNTSC that didn't force a NTSC (or PAL)
- screen but did the other cool stuff. Or how about one that would let you
- choose any type of screen to force open? Anyway, I got a lot of use out of
- it on my 2000 and I appreciate you for making it available! Thanks!
