  • Shipping with LiteOn 7XXX/8XXX/V2/9XXX DVD-Drivers.


Jasper (V4.2)

Same as Jasper (4.1), minor changes.

  • 65nm eDRAM (?)
  • New southbridge chipset
  • Arcade Edition Larger Flash 256MB and 512MB to accommodate NXE (Removes 256MB Memory Card)
  • Shipping with LiteOn 8XXXV2/9XXX DVD-Drivers.

  • Unified single chip with CPU, GP and eDRAM at 45nm process.
  • 16MB NAND
  • 135 Watt PSU
  • 802.11n Wi-Fi integrated
