:   Why release another CRC calculation utility? Well while checking MotetII  :
:   I discovered other CRC calculation tools do not calculate their CRC's     :
:   100% correctly. The result caused test binarys not to boot on the N64.    :
:   After exploring the problem, I decided it was wise to release a tool      :
:   which will actually calculate CRC's correctly. Other tools may claim      :
:   they do, but they have bugs that cause failures to result in a truely     :
:   correct and functional CRC.                                               :
:                                                                             :
:   All major CIC and bootcodes are supported, except for Starfox / Lylat     :
:   Wars. I will fix this in a future update.                                 :

:   How do I use Macet?                                                       :

:   Macet is best controlled from the command line prompt. However from       :
:   Windows, the user could just drag and drop the desired file on the Macet  :
:   executable and run the program that way.                                  :

:   At the prompt type:                                                       :
