I believe the AX208 is an SOC. I have a schematic of it if that would help. Promotional materials say that it has a 100mhz CPU, but take that with a grain of salt as always.

I have 10 ROMs dumped. No BIOS/internal ROM to my knowledge. It seems like boot sequences are in the ROMs themselves, because different games have different boot logos. One game doesn't even have one.

All ROMs declare the AX208 Video Card at the very beginning of the ROM.
