I agree. When I first heard about Yaroze and read that it wouldn't come
with as many libraries as the "real" dev. kits such as FMV and
CD-emulation stuff, I thought: Okay, no big deal. But I was rather
disappointed when I found out about the "low-cost" libraries we get. Why
not give us the opportunity to work on a lower level if we want to?
