		Hi you all. I've been wandering round the 32X bios and am now wondering : Has anyone already try to disassembly the Saturn BIOS ? Do we know what it does ? I guess we gonne see the load IP here, some CD access maybe, but ... what else (&copyright; George Clooney)

		I think that CyberWarriorX or Guillaume made a document about the different bios functions and their location ... You can also learn a lot from the SDK header files

		The more I get in Saturn dev, the more I realize that I gonna have to dive deeply into this C thing : oooooh SDK ..... I've always wanted to do ASM-only thing ... "No pain, no gain", I guess.

		A dissasembled bios file by itself won't be that useful I think ... you'll learn a lot more following a running disassembler (built-in in most of the emulators), and having the tech docs handy
