Tried this out, works great. Excellent loading speed.

My only real comment is that on the NES pad, "Select" is a little non-intuitive as the load button. I'd possibly set it to say all of "A", "Start", and "Select" all work for loading.

Any chance we could talk you into posting the source for tinkering with it?

Oldbitcollector,

Here is the code at your request, it uses Tomas Rokicki SD card driver, Doug Dingus text display driver

PS I would like to make it combatable with the prodo board aslo but I don't have one to test the changes with

Nice code! If you don't mind my cross-posting this to the Propeller section..

Here's the protoboard version.

I remarked the NES_Reader since most protoboards don't have that.
I've also made some other minor adjustments to the variables and speed of course.
