Indeed. Its the program to access the gamebox, I guess. Problems half solved?

I downloaded the drivers. Theres a tool folder there. It seems to be the program to allow writing and reading. It seems you put the data on the MicroSD, and command it via usb to copy to the contents to the drive.

Just a word of caution.  Until you have a known good copy of what is already on there, I'd be very careful dumping anything to the NAND memory.  You could end up with a very nice doorstop until someone gets a good dump of the contents.

There's also the matter of the controllers.  If they aren't real USB, which it appears they aren't, you will need to write routines to use them, or replace them with your own device, if you replace the code that is already there to interface with them.  You might be able to get an OS installed on the machine, but without some way to interact with it, it won't be very useful.  This is why some support from the manufacturer would be very useful, but given the quasi-closed nature of the system, I'm not sure if that will be forthcoming.
