Damn, they look even more professional than Lik-Sang's Coder's Cables
Too bad importing is the only option ATM.

Wait a sec... How is it supposed to work?
From what I see, that thing's supposed to work from the serial port. The serial port has a transfer rate of ~2 Mbits/s, or ~250 KBytes/s. So is it even possile to run a game from this thing?

Wow this is awesome news! This means we can have all our homebrew games on a single image that could be bigger than the size of a CD in our SD!
I wonder what the OS on the Disc is like? Maybe they used Dreamshell?
Thanks for the news Vasiliy!

If they have some type of reseller program then it could be a possibility.
