View source for Hardware/Starlet

The [[Hollywood]] includes an ARM9 core to handle I/O and security, nicknamed the '''Starlet''' by [[fail0verflow]], but internally known as the '''IOP''', short for Input/Output Processor.
This is a very interesting piece of hardware, as it basically does everything that makes a Wii different from a GameCube.

The Starlet contains an internal 96KB SRAM; if [[IOS]] needs more memory, it can lock part of MEM2 to prevent [[Broadway]] access.
