64/128mb ram test

Issue #26 wontfix
professor_jonny created an issue

The ram check seems to only check the updater 64mb of ram as it fails to mention the tests past on the lower 64mb when run on a 64 mb xbox?

Could the factory lower 64mb of ram bank be checked also it would be handy for verifying its integrity before using it as donor to make a 128mb box.

    Memory test on lower 64MB is too much hassle to implement. As XBlast OS runs in RAM and scatter data across the lower 64MB(as all programs do), it would require to identify said data, temporarily relocate it, test the portion of RAM and move on to the next chunk.

    It's a very hard thing to implement that in the end doesn't do much more good than just booting your Xbox and use it. If your console play games fine, the RAM is working properly.
