| the only way to play a backup on these latest | | | | support as the price of the chip would go up a lot |
| D3-2 drives, the other solution would be to | | | | and they wanted to keep the price as low as |

| Fusion modchip comes bundled with a SD reader | | | | the USB HDD chips such as the SunDriver from |
| for your PC, so there is no need to buy a SD | | | | D2Sun team or the Wode, and like we said above |
