History[edit | edit source]

The VTech V.Flash was revealed at the London Toy Fair in January of 2006 and launched later in 2006.[1]

The VTech V.Flash was likely discontinued in 2007.[2]

Technology[edit | edit source]

The V.Flash uses an LSI Logic ZEVIO 1020 SoC, which contains an ARM9 processor core and a 2D/3D graphics core from Koto.[3][4][5]

The V.Flash uses optical disks (Which are close enough to CD-R and CD-RW that these can be used in the system) enclosed in a protective plastic case.[3][5]

The V.Flash Controller can swap the location of its direction pad and face buttons.[6]

The system runs MicroMore OS by Access Co. Ltd. and also runs Mascot Capsule Java 3D software.[5]
