Wed Apr 06 14:48:47 +0000 2022Quoting @flamebeam0131:
"The online verification servers were offline on October 8th, 2021; and the game store went offline probably on July 5th, 2021."
"Customer service said the verification was down due to 'server adjustments'." https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/1511717562778001409

Speculated reasons for the server down is probably because the new policy effective Sept 2021, which demanded that minors could only game for 3 hours a week.
This is because all servers except from the validation and a portion of the store all operate as normal.

...which is easier said than done.
Nvidia customer support redirected to iQiyi games, whose refund process requires photos of ID/bank card, bank account, real name, email, and screenshots proofs of game purchase/transaction history, and a ton of other personal info.

This is highly absurd contrasted to the ease of purchase from the scan of a Wechat/Alipay app.

*An "online videogame" from the definition of the Chinese government is all videogame software acquired from the internet, so that basically includes all videogame software indiscriminately.

Wed Apr 27 12:52:56 +0000 2022The "Super iQue Card" (超级神游卡) was a hardware mod for the iQue Player, allowing 4 physical NAND chips to fit inside the console, toggled using 2 switches.
Invented in 2014, it was a solution to store all 14 iQue Player titles on console without the need to swap games on a PC.
Wed Apr 27 13:38:41 +0000 2022Replying to @chinesenintendo
The creator of this hardware proposed a recommended (and possibly optimal solution) to store all 14 iQue Player games on 4 NAND chips.
Units are in iQue Player Blocks, which is 256 KB or 1/4 MB.
An original iQue Card have a maximum storage space of 240 Blocks.
