from the photo of the board here:

it looks like the RP2350's flash chip, labelled (2), is in a largish (SOIC-8?) package with the pins readily accessible. perhaps one could just piggyback a PSRAM on top of this (with CS routed to a suitable GPIO line - 0, 8, 47 are available on the I/O header) to provide space to hold a full 320 x 480 screen buffer - 300k required if my maths is right.

it is a pity the designers didn't include an unpopulated footprint for the PSRAM.


cheers,
