V.Flash is a spinoff from the V.Smile series of game consoles. Unlike the V.Smile, this game console uses 3D graphics.
Unlike major disc-based game systems of today and previous generations of video games, this system uses 2 inch CDs enclosed with plastic to protect damage from touching, which is somewhat similar to the UMD format by Sony, used in the Playstation Portable. The discs use the ISO 9660[1] file system (without any copy protection mechanism other than a simple sensor in the case jacket), making it possible to make a disc image out of the media, although there hasn't been any known cases of piracy involving the V.Flash.
The processor is an ARM9 processor from LSI Logic. Files are stored in 3 main formats: .mjp, .ptx, and .snd. .snd have been determined to be PCM WAV files.
Rated at 1.5 million polygons per second and with a 32 bit CPU, this system is directly comparable to the fifth generation game consoles, such as the Sony PlayStation.
