there's no way around it really. either someone is gonna have to use a header
repairing utility to validate the rom or go against this bill and risk a civil
suit. i would tell my congressmen but both of them are cosponsors of this stupid
bill!

ps. ems shipping rules ups! 4 days from HK to the US.

Then how does a newbie to GBA development dump Mario Kart to get a
valid rom file? You can't dump it using MBV2 because you need to
put logo data in the .mb binary before the GBA will run it. For a
while, you couldn't dump it using Visoly linkers because UPS was
blocking LikSang's shipments. (LikSang now ships video game
accessories to the USA via EMS Speedpost, which hasn't given me
any problems... yet. And no, I'm not being paid to say this.)

US gbadev members: Please urge your senator to vote NAY on S. 2395
as introduced.
