Could you compile a small tool as well that allows to set the bit 'ON' and 'OFF' from plain DOS on the fly? Here are two simple DOS .com programs to either turn the bit on or off, but I haven't tested these. I used NASM to compile these so I haven't tested them on S3 card. These are so simple you …

The nes/famicom is probably my favorite console too, it just has too many classics! I've chosen the famicom AV too : http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p55/restqp/eprom%20translations/IMG02966-20131105-0805_zps5da0abd6.jpg which evolved to this when nesrgb got released: http://i125.photobucket.com/ …
