:   ZiyalII is the 2nd public release build of Ziyal. This tool provides      :
:   options to backup all current N64 cartridges.                             :
:                                                                             :
:   ZiyalII has the ability to dump cartridges of any NUS-CIC bootchip        :
:   type! As well as features like smart cartridge size detection, onboard    :
:   save chip detection along with fast and accurate dumps. Ziyal is by far   :
:   the most advanced V64jr Cartridge Backup Utility!                         :
:                                                                             :

:   If your using Elim with your V64jr at the moment, then you'll have no     :
:   trouble with ZiyalII. ZiyalII is built on the 'Elim engine' by Refried,   :
:   so it should work with all the same OS types as Elim does. For more       :
:   information on this, consult the Elim information files in the            :
:   obs-elim.zip file available from our website.                             :
:                                                                             :
:   Setup your N64 and V64jr as you would for using Elim, but make sure       :
:   that the only thing plugged into the V64jr is the cartridge which you     :
:   want to backup. If there is anything else plugged inbetween the           :
:   cartridge and the V64jr, backups maybe corrupt, or ZiyalII may not        :
:   function correctly and produce error messages.                            :
:                                                                             :
