New modchip: SmartXX
>> We received this picture of the 'SmartXX' modchip from the people behind the PC-BioXX and NitroXX.
We did not receive any (technical) information about this new modchip yet. But from the picture we can already see 1 new feature ... it will be possible to link a LDC screen with the modchip. I can imagine it will be possible to use the screen for the modchip features (see selected bios, see bank-mode, ...), but maybe it'll be able to do more. (using screen in homebrew apps ?)
