Do you think anyone will ever bring DMA to the IDE-EXI? Also, does anyone know whether this would be relatively difficult or relatively easy?

I know not of this technology, but judging from this, looks like its possible:

This topic will contain all the homebrew which supports the IDE-EXI.
All will share the same base interface code so and all source will be provided bundled with the binaries.
Most are placeholders but eventually they should all be available with full IDE-EXI support

Limitations:
- Maxes out at about the 1500kbps mark in combined video+audio so keep it low res for now until we have DMA on the IDE-EXI worked out

Do you mean DMA for returning to swiss ingame?
I guess it should be possible to write some loader code to RAM and make it return to swiss when a certain button combo is pressed (or the reset switch).
