Ehh, the patch is attached to the first message in the linked thread. And it looks usable, the code is based off of the in-kernel module loader. I'm starting most applications in the preinit 'M" scripts, which are run after the player has started as well.

The only thing I don't like is the in-kernel processing of config.ini whenever the player reads it, but that's a hijack thing. Yes, the player still has to be started with -s-, but if we're hacking the players view on it's environment with hijack anyways, why not modify sys_exec to add that flag when we're on DC.

The best method would probably be to 'virtualize' the serial port, so that when gpsapp opens the serial port it would make the player's bits end up in the bitbucket (while still allowing notify=1 to work).
