I am not sure if I made myself clear. I want to be able to have a ROM replacement for the C64 (also other systems but 64 is the starting point), where I can easily manage what rom image will be made visible to the system at various addresses. It has to have a piece of own software too. The one that will display the menus for selection of the ROM images. After selecting, the images are made visible os ROM areas to the system and the system is rebooted via cold vector. As far as I remember Nicolas' design I think he wasn't planning such features (flash card or usb connection, dynamic reconfiguration / reboot, etc.), was he?

Yup, more or less this is what I would be expecting. Plus possibly extra line(s) for triggering the menu at power-up.

From what I quickly had a look at again - it doesn't fulfill "my" specs. Could be used as a test / starting point but extra bits would have to be added.
