Gaming First look at an unseen Nintendo DSi development console

[banjo2]

Oh, idk why it doesn't work for me then. Send me a screenshot.

I can't seem to be able to access the page from my phone, only from Switch...

Whoah, hello, what a beauty! I've never seen such clean pictures!
But for the most part, it's just a retail unit with TwlNmenu and NandFiler slapped onto it, it's not really anything insane.

DSi XL Panda Dev Console + Prototype
RARE Panda DSi XL development console. This console is sold directly to developers by Nintendo for creating games. It is very similar to a regular console, but includes additional menus for debugging and running code. It also features different colours to any retail versions, the bottom half of the console if bronze, the top is white.

Also included inside the console's memory is a rare prototype of an unreleased game. 'Pirates of the Caribbean Cannon Battles' is a Disney themed battleships game. Having played through a level it seems to be complete, so this is a rare opportunity to have a genuinely unreleased game in your collection.

Complete with box and manuals, the console is great, fully tested condition, 9/10. Outer box is also really nice, 9/10.

The only noticable difference that I could find is instead of a writing on the board saying CPU-01, it says CPU-X4. This makes me speculate this was used during the DSi's lifespan, rather before the release. (Note that the battery may not be the original, as all of his 1st-gen batteries died.)

Actually Ninty always uses X to denote prototype motherboard revisions, so X4 means its the fourth prototype revision. For instance here is a picture of a GameCube prototype X6 motherboard
When the motherboard is finished and final/retail they change it to 01.

Whoah! My gosh, I want this NAND dump NOW!
But ProtonX said he wont reveal the seller and just minutes ago, I ended my conversation with him!

JUST MINUTES AGO, Voodooween surprised me!

Apparently, he bought the unit after all! He said at first he was about to buy it, but someone else was first... That was apparently a lie to keep everything quiet until he could surprise me.
That means the prototype is now in the hands of a dumper! I've contacted Voodooween countless times before about rare odds and devices he had sitting in his collection. I first thought he was messing with me, but nah. He spent the $750 on this prototype, and I can't be any more exited to dump the NAND and find what's within this weird menu.

We're almost there!

OH MY LORD

 

[MaxiBash]

The prototype has been successfully dumped with footers in the NAND. I'll release a link probably soon (but obviously not here ).

We restarted researching the NAND, turns out there are a bunch of hidden menu's, including the codename for DSiWare: Nintendo Soft Box.

Now that's quite interesting.

That's amazing! I wonder if this was made before CPU-X4. Too bad there doesn't seem a way to dump the contents of this.
