He actually said to find out how to delete the extended rom somewhere else. But again I am not sure if I have an extended rom at this point.

If you cannot get to the extended rom through explorer then the access to it was not cooked in.

Why he might be saying this
He may be using something like tier autoinstall or autorun. which means on initial boot after flash it looks at storage card and extended rom for any cabs to install.
There may be some cabs in the extended rom area that will conflict with something he has included.
mattsm so you think dcd's ROM actually wrote into the External ROM?

I think what you just mentioned makes the most sense. I noticed that after I install Ryan's rom I get the message that says auto customizations will run in 3 or 4 seconds. Then I see googlemaps and the manilla 2d software install. To test my theory I reflashed his rom and soft reset before the customization ran and when I booted up manilla 2d wasn't installed.

I must be reading very old threads (This is what sucks about the forums its bits and pieces and no one updates the wiki). From all the reading I have done over the last few days, everyone says that you cannot edit the extended rom permanently. That it resets after a hard reset.

If you delete the extended ROM what are the pro's and cons?

Thanks for your help so far guys, I thought I had this flashing stuff down pat. But this extended rom is a new snag.
