Major update: GUI, nocash unlock and fastboot.
Unirom Combines:
-Caetla 0.34 (for catflap/etc over LPT)
-X-Flash (for X-Killer over LPT)
-PSXSerial 1.3 (for use with PSXSerial over serial)
-MYAR (Foo Chen Hong's third party AR style comms)
Load with Switch on = Caetla
Load with Switch off = UniROM screen
@ Caetla screen:
- nocash unlock is automatically applied for Eur/US systems
- disk autoswap is applied for Jap/Unknown systems.
@ UniROM screen:
- Triangle = Load xFlash (supports XLink/XKiller)
- Circle = Load PSXSerial (supports PSXSerial)
- Square = Boot to PSX BIOS (supports 24bit colour)
- Cross = Menu Selection
- L1 = Disk Swap
- R1 = nocash unlock
- Start/Select = Caetla
- Some other menu options and hidden button combos.
- UniROM screen (supports MYAR/PAR protocol)
Included in the download:
PC Side:
- PSXSerial 1.3 (Shadow & Jihad)
- MyAR (Foo Chen Hon)
- XKiller & GiveIO (Tim Schuerwegen & Sickle)
- CatflapIO (Intar Technologies & Orion_)
PSX Side:
- 224kb Full version with Caetla for Xplorer/PAR, etc
- (Plus a pre-saved NTSC version for XFX carts)
- 112kb Lite version without caetla (128kb carts)
- ISO With XFlash + All Caetla, All XPlorer, UniROM Lite, UniROM Full
(Burn with ImgBurn @ slowest speed, boot with swap trick or whatever)
Okie, this is a pretty experimental build but fixes a bunch of issues. If you're wondering where to start, "R2" is the new boot sequence which auto-applies the unlock. Miniupdate: Just stuffed Squaresoft74's complete rom collection into the .zip!
Refresher:
-Standalone - Use on smaller carts (E.g. 128k)
-Caetla - Caetla+Unirom combined. * (Carts > 128k) *
-Plugin - Has shendo's MCLaunch as an optional addon.**
-NTSC - Use for Jap/American consoles. ***
Release Notes:
-Built in Serial Comms:
- Removed embedded PSXSerial
- Experimental .BIN upload (PC tool coming soon)
- More room for plugins!
-Improved shell boot sequence:
- Uses BIOS's own boot routine
- Will warn if you have really old unsupported bios (working on it)
-Improved fastboot
- Displays status
- Fixes a few errors
-Cheat codes:
- Caetla now has them. Doesn't crash.
-Skipped many version numbers arbitrarily.
- I find weird things amusing.

Notes:
* Switch between them at the menu or with the switch atop the cartridge.
** You can add your own plugins to any rom that isn't already _PLUGIN.
*** This is a version of Caetla pre-set to NTSC. Use if for example XFlash supports writing to your EEPROM, but Caetla doesn't. (So it won't be able to save settings once it's on there).
Further Notes:
The patched BIOS boot is not working on the really old BIOSes. I could take a stab but without a console in front of me, you'll have to make do with one of the following boot methods: fastboot, caetla fastboot, caetla fullboot, caetla via CDROM menu.

Don't get me wrong- this was a lot of work, but as you can see, overall it quite heavily relies on other peoples' software, so big thanks to everyone.
