There's an excellent retrospective on YouTube about the xband and how it was built. It was a product ahead of its time.
For example, the way they got games that weren't built for laggy multiplayer to work was unbelievable: they recognized the cartridge and patched the code. Yes, that means every game that worked was a result of a custom built patching of that game's code at run time!
