FYI I don't have the original contrib any more so I hope someone else 
does. I believe part of the issue was that it was added pretty much as a 
crude hack, rather than it being legal issues (the rest of the dreamcast 
port was assigned obviously). And there was no way to test it too as you 
needed some special equipment IIRC. But Jesper will know so I'll shut up :-).
