+
+ XaviXPORT arrived on the scene with 3 game titles (XaviX Tennis, XaviX Bowling and XaviX Baseball) using their
+ original XaviX Multiprocessor. This proprietary chip is reported to contain an 8-bit high speed central processing
+ unit (6502) at 21 MHz, picture processor, sound processor, DMA controller, 1K bytes high speed RAM, universal timer,
+ AD/Converter and I/O device control. Each cartridge comes with a wireless peripheral to be used with the game (Baseball Bat,
+ Tennis Racquet, etc.) that requires "AA" batteries. The XaviXPORT system retailed for $79.99 USD with the cartridges
+ retailing for $49.99 USD.
+
+ The following year at CES 2005, SSD COMPANY LIMITED introduced two new XaviXPORT titles (XaviX Golf and XaviX Bass Fishing) each
+ containing the upgraded "Super XaviX". This new chip is said to sport a 16-bit high central processing unit (65816) at 43 MHz.
+ SSD COMPANY LIMITED is already working on their next chip called "XaviX II" that is said to be a 32-bit RISC processor
+ with 3D capabilities.
