Hi,

nice, that sounds handy!

I had quite some reports about abnormal exits due to assert(). This is
"fprintf(stderr, ...); _exit(1);". That text can get lost easily on a
game console, which in return makes crash reports next to useless
without any good guesswork. The Wii port has some special sauce to
handle that, but maybe we should take care of all those assert()s too?

Regards,
Andre
