Hacking Question for devs

quote from wanin:"More news about rev18. It's going pretty well and some new stuff is already working. After some testing the last features will be finished."

I wonder what the new stuff is. I only care about game compatibility, that that would require:
- Support for IOS Reloading games
- Support for other IOS as base, like instrument games and Monster Hunter Tri
Well, that's all games that come to my mind that don't work

SDHC card support for Guitar Hero DLC

Backward compatibilty seems to be the main disadvantage

As the modules are still in the IOS itself there shouldn't be backwards compatibility problems, thats what Waninkoko ment with the statement that it has internal modules because he doesn't want so many crying n00bs.

Note for developers. EHCI module device name has been renamed from /dev/usb/ehc to /dev/usb2 so... prepare your tools for rev18

I guess he's standardising a bit with Hermes. Cool

Well what about the cios installer installs the cios in two IOS slots? In IOS249 you'd have the normal cios with all the usual modules so that current homebrew that use IOS249 still works, and on another IOS slot (248?) you'd have a stripped down cIOS without the modules that developers could use, to put their own plugins. Sure it'd take a little more space, but my guess is that it wouldn't be anything substantial...

EDIT: Oh wait...

I forgot to say rev18 will have the ability to load custom modules externally (although it includes built-in modules).

Never mind
