I've just openly asked if I could host a download on my repository- not those exact words but the same general content. The reason for this is that systems such as the PS3 and the Wii- I've almost got it setup. And sorry, Justin, about the lag in testing the card, It's working now in Linux but I don't have the patch reapplied to test it out on FreeBSD- are limited in memory and can benefit from a Java desktop or interface similar to those of a smart phone. All in all, I feel stupid. Aside: Thanks for putting up with me and helping me to learn about FreeBSD, RISC, and all that hacking phracking stuff.
