I understand your legal reasons, but do you really think
another Randy will ever try to double-cross me or another
member of the community this way? ;-)

Coool idea!

than modifying a disassembled ROM directly (The procedure would
likely be to keep notes of all modifications and then reproduce
them in patch form) unless I can get clever and come up with a
tool that will create the patch automatically based on the
original and modified ROMs (Hmm, might be something to that...)
Obviously I'm still in the preliminary stages of this.
Yes, such a tool would be great. And might be useful for other
stuff too.
Have fun!
