Chris!

I got this while programming something one day and I thought it was funny so I took a screencap of it. Too bad I'm not running for anything.
All my Odyssey2 projects, now in one place!

Maybe your console is running for President  :P

They just gosub without return.

Pickaxe Brad!

Want to experience this in your O2 emulator?  Try out this BIOS ROM!
Does anyone read these signatures?  Let me know in your signature.

Doesn't work for me. Nothing happens.
I'm using o2em-1.21. Also tried 1.18.
Renamed your BIOS ROM file to o2rom.bin and replaced the original bios file.
The emulator just shuts down on startup...

With o2em-1.21, I've been successfully running it like this:
   o2em.exe -bios=bios/o2rom_ElectMe.bin

We still have some time before election season, but hopefully it'll now work for you by the method above.
But, yes, when I tried doing what you described, it failed the same way as your did.  Maybe it failed because a checksum didn't match?

I already tried the method you described.
Also tried all compatibility settings.
Same result, nothing happens.

I tried both NTSC and PAL games.
Running Win10 64-bit.

The standard bios works flawlessly with all games.
Did you use any commands that need specific hardware/software to run?

Hmmm... That's odd.

I didn't change any commands at all.  Just changed three characters in Select GAme into spaces so it says " elect   me", like Chris! got to see.  But I suppose that's electorial politics for ya...it's always some sort of hassle.

I'll keep trying, though :)
