DSi RAM Tracing – Camera (DSi misc)

Bushing comes up with more RAM tracing/hacking news.

Quote:

As we probe deeper into the DSi, we come across some neat stuff. Scanlime got a new FPGA board from Sparkfun, which gives him more GPIOs and the ability to run them at the 1.8v necessary to properly talk to the RAM.

Please read the full article at it’s source page.
