Although I'm still a student and not a professional _yet_, I for one do 
find your request arrogant. To ask someone to spend their time to do
work for you for a "small fee", assuming that small means less than a
hundred bucks or so, that will be distributed commercially is ludicrous.
I think your attitude in answering people's questions about your intent
and so forth sucks as well. I hope no one bothers with your project.

Just say no to confusing .ini, .bat, .dll, .exe, and BIOS and buy a
Mac!!!
