Cool. I've never gotten into LSDJ, maybe soon, just never ran across a gameboy yet. I've been going through the manual @ Neil's site trying to figure it out. Much fun! Nestopia sounds good but the NES sounds better, very glad to run it on HW.
Good to hear you got it going, once you get the hang of flashing it's a snap. You can also run PR8 on the SXROM board but be warned: you'll want another board so you can switch back an forth
Got NTRQ setup on a modded SNROM cart but it would be a snap with one of INL's boards. Also got cajoNES running on a cart, code modded to run on a SNROM cart.
Looking forward to hearing some of your jams

So Glad!!! When/if you want to try up/downloading your WRAM save states I put together a how-to sort of post, it's linked to on the first post here, any questions feel free to shout.

Drivers seems OK, if your OS recognizes 'Retro INL'. In run mode you should see the Red LED lit till you erase the chip as well as the "Verify OK" message. The test GUI button verifies the communication between the firmware and the PC, so I click it a lot.
Just a thought, are you using a Laptop? The Kazzo is powered from the USB and some laptops may have limited 5V. If this is the case you may need a powered hub or try using a desktop PC
.In general I avoid using a hub for this kind of stuff because you never know if it is causing a problem or not; at least till I know everything works without the hub.   

  A .nes file is setup for emulators, it includes a Header, to tell the emu what type of mapping, as well as the bin images for the PRG and the CHR roms. You need to split the Pulsar.nes file: to remove the Header bytes and separate the PRG bin from the CHR bin (there isn't one because SXROM uses CHR ram). I guess you could remove the Header bytes by hand with a hex editor but I would just use a tool.
  The Pulsar PRG bin is 128K, if you have a 128K ROM chip you wouldn't need to do anything beyond the split.. In my case I have a 512K Flash chip board, so to load the 128K bin, I do a x4 so that the 128K file is copied 4 times to form a 512K bin file. With the ReadNES web based tool, you can select the configuration and it takes care of the operation, outputting  a PRG file of  the right size.

OK what you need to do:
1. Read and follow the readme text with the DL. 99% of what I can say in from the Readme.
2. Make sure you have installed the PC software and USB driver.
3. You need the INL firmware installed on the Kazzo. Once you have unzipped the DL package, you will see two batch files. You need to have the Kazzo connected to the PC, then slid the switch to BL, then run the batch file "click to load retro programmer.bat" A Command Prompt will open and should run through re flashing the Kazzo firmware. When it finishes click any key to close the CLI. Slid the switch back to "Run"
4. Lunch the "INL retro-prog v1.1 beta.exe" file, the GUI will open. Plug in Cart. Click "Test"; should get "Test OK" if not recheck you last steps.
5. Top left drop down, choose 'Header"; top right 'Load", nav to 'ROMS' folder in your Kazzo folder, choose the "ERASE_PRG.bin" for the SXROM cart. Click "Write", should get "Verify OK". Red LED should go out.
6. Now back to top left, select your PRG ROM size you have on your cart. Click "Load", nav to your Pulsar PRG bin file, IT MUST MATCH THE SIZE OF YOUR ROM CHIP. It should be split and doubled or whatever for your case. I use http://www.kevinselwyn.com/ReadNES/  It's easy to use, but you could use uconn64 from your Command Prompt also.
Click write, you should get "verify OK"
6. That should be IT. Put cart in case and plug her in; turn on NES and enjoy
That's the highlights, just make sure you get 'verify OK' at each step, if not go back to the begining.

OK. All I can say is USPS sucks with tracking; with my orders in the past, they are VERY slow to update package status. Can't say what the issue is at INL's end, seems they would have shipped when they sent you the email !?! But if they just shipped today, well USPS will not be much help for a few days. I don't know where INL ships from, Idaho or where ever but my orders didn't show up till they hit the main sort in Minnesota a few days later.
Just had a real PITA issue with my local PO, took 5 days for them to deliver a package to my mailbox!!

It should run on Win98 but you wouldn't need GiveIO.sys, it is necessary only on NT/2000/XP. I haven't tried it on Win98 so let us know how you fair.

NICE!
