as qoob SX has no usb programmer link port.

ps. maybe by flashing it with qoob pro bios , or fake qoob bios (maybe someone will release it like viper that has a lot of fake bios) or maybe power blackout when flashing it.

or qoob SX already has a backup bios inside it ?

If you hold "left" (on the dpad), the SX will boot into it's backup bios (version is "(c) qoob" instead of "1.2").

this will always work, even when no (or invalid) bios is flashed.

I asked them the same question in email, and they responded that in fact the first bios is hardware write protected and can't be erased.

That's the reason why you MUST boot with dpad=left when upgrading a qoob sx, otherwise it won't work.

would this apply to the Qoob Pro too? i know it has the USB interface and it wounldn't be as nessesary. I was just thinking it might be usefull if like I didn't have acsess to a computer at some time, like a console party.
