	Notes:
	1. Dexter must have the Merlin Menu disc installed in order for game to boot.

	2. If any game's laserdisc image is missing from Dexter, 
	   then that game will not be offered or available in the Menu.

	3. The Merlin Menu can be downloaded here... http://www.wood1st.com/LaserCon/Menu/

	4. Email me if you are missing any discs.

	5. Some laserdisc images exceed the 4GB limit of the FAT file system and will not install to Dexter's thumb drive.
	   In this case, you must backup all files on the USB thumb drive, Reformat the USB thumb drive using exFat,
	   Then copy all files back to the thumb drive, along with the >4Gb disc images.

	
	If you need help or have questions, email me...
