 * Broadband adapter and ASCII Keyboard Controller emulation with standard USB ethernet/wifi and USB keyboards. These can be used with custom server patches for online multiplayer in certain games. Ethernet is recommended for LAN multiplayer.
 * Nintendont can be leveraged in either [https://wii.hacks.guide/usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite WiiFlow Lite] or [https://wii.hacks.guide/wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx USB Loader GX] for the loading of GameCube games.
-* Triforce arcade games are supported.
+* Triforce arcade games are supported. Mario Kart Arcade GP Mario Cards and F-Zero AX License Cards can be emulated. Mounting GameCube memory cards in F-Zero AX is not supported. Internal memory is not emulated, so high scores will not save.

+Triforce BIOS is also supported and must be extracted from the appropriate game discs. Different versions can be found depending on the game:
+* 2.15.0 (SHA1: a2306142ad992ec204e896c65513819536c5bcf8) from the first Triforce Firmware Update Disc (GDT-0011)
+* 2.17.0 (SHA1: a3eabb012db09092300e796f5e2239973ce7b978) from Virtua Striker 4 (GDT-0013 and GDT-0015)
+* 3.01.2 (SHA1: 61aa40edbd179fe295850946639e2a4b33636b58) from Virtua Striker Ver. 2006 (GDT-0020 and GDT-0021)
+* 3.11.2 (SHA1: 418411ee45a96d2ce585c3940a37608c491142ce) from the second Triforce Firmware Update Disc (GDT-0022), also sometimes labeled Triforce Firmware Update For Compact Flash Box (4.01)
+Extracting the file differs per game, but you will need a program like GCRebuilder to extract the file from the game disc.
+For the first Triforce Firmware Update Disc, extract the file <code>segaboot.img01</code> and delete the first 1048576 bytes in a hex editor so the file starts with the string <code>GCAM</code>.
+For Virtua Striker games, extract <code>firm/segaboot.img1</code>.
+For the second Triforce Firmware Update Disc, extract <code>segaboot.img1</code>.
+Once you have this file, place it in the appropriate path:
+# Rename the BIOS file to <code>segaboot.bin</code>.
+# Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
+# Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
+=== Memory Cards ===
+By default, games will be given their own memory cards in the <code>saves</code> folder on the storage device Nintendont is installed on. If the Memcard Multi option is enabled, every NTSC/PAL game will share one memory card named <code>ninmem.raw</code> while NTSC-J games save to <code>ninmemj.raw</code>. A second memory card can be mounted if another valid memory card file is present and appropriately named. This second card must be named <code>(game id)_b.raw</code>, <code>ninmemb.raw</code>, or <code>ninmemjb.raw</code> depending on which first-slot card would be read. If both cards combined would be above 16 megabytes, the slot B card will not be loaded.
+Saves can be extracted, injected, or otherwise managed in the Dolphin Emulator's memory card manager.
