Personally, I would love to see something like this, perhaps an I/O plugin that replaces all of the native I/O routines with network i/o.  I hate when people say "it's not possible, i tried it"  uuhhhh, yeah, you tried it im sure....

Hopefully this will be a big development, and I hope to see it soon......

There it is.

I wish I could think of what it was, but isn't there a feature where it tags everything on to the end of the BIOS stored in RAM from an XBE? I think it was some feature in EvoX dash, but I could be wrong, I was reading about it on these forums the other day. People said theoretically, for whatever it was to work, it would tag that code on to the end of the BIOS stored in the memory bank. (and no, I'm not thinking of IGR and XBE's instead of BIOS).

Now, could you not have a small, bare BIOS, that comes with an accompanying "Boot.xbe" that would boot from Boot.XBE, let you chose your BIOS from a menu, extract .BIN's to a Temp folder the way a BIOS would, then replace the BIOS in memory with the extracted BIOS of that folder, then send you to evoxdash.xbe? You would need direct access to the memory banks, but it seems to me it would be the best way to go at it.

Then again I'm just talking out of my ass, its probably way off.

If the original "switcher" BIOS that loaded the supposed Boot.XBE was 256k, this would allow Matrix users to use 256k, 512, 1mb (or more if it was ever needed) BIOS's too, if it was done by editing the BIOS thats in memory too, wouldn't it?
