	I most certainly have used AMax before. No need to be
condescending. I am well aware that it takes about 45-60 seconds
to start. Presumably you'll only go through that once, and once
you're in AMax mode you won't switch back until you're done. I
don't find 1 minute that annoying, but then again I don't use
AMax regularly.
	The legalities are minimally in a grey-area of the law.
I'm certainly not qualified to debate them. I do assume you've
BOUGHT the ROMs before getting the on-disk version yourself.
