The chip may be able to do all the stuff in that list but if the chip is flashed with the worthless cornwall BIOS its limited to only running Linux until you reflash it with a "
hacked" BIOS that will allow you to run stuff like EvoX and back ups.
Where were you going to buy your chip from? From the looks of your first post it looks like what
System-Mods have on their site.
I don't think your going to get away from the cornwall BIOS unless you buy your chip from a 3rd party that has all ready reflashed it.
Now if you don't wanta go though the BS of using the ozXflash method you can buy a programmer that you hook up to your PC so that you can flash the chip. One can be bought from
The Console Corner for $19.99 USD.
