C3 mode to arrive in the next hardware release (update 09/04/2025: C3 mode works perfectly fine). And much more for the final hardware release: vocal synthesizer, cpr cartridges, usb mouse, wifi, nfc, ...

Feature list is unknown yet, but it will grow over time. The card will be available with lot of hardware, but only future firmware revision may make use of it.
