--------------
* Fixed error which displayed incorrect version and date on SCPH-1000 consoles.
* Added BIOS CRC-32 information.
* Added option to use serial cable.

* Reset after dumping is no longer required. If you have multiple cards at your disposal this will greatly save your time.
* Filename now contains part number.
* Rewritten from scratch using Tails92's PSX Libs (http://code.google.com/p/psxsdk).
