My girlfriend has had 3 3DSes and 3 DSI’s that fell off a truck years ago, her father took them obviously. She brought me a 3ds, in fact two that worked (the third one is supposedly not working), I was going to mod them until I looked deeper and realized they’re dev kits. One has a more human touch with a dev actually putting their name and having a picture of his desk. He was dev testing Spongbob Squigglepants and Let’s Ride Best In Breed. This dev kit has yellowing on the touch screen, the other one has a mii that’s just named test>> and they played Squigglepants, SpongeBob’s Surf & Skate Roadtrip, Build a Bear workshop the game factory. They have the dev menu and config menus on them. They were last touched in the spring of 2011. I don’t want to mod them immediately, I want to preserve what’s on here since THQ is no more before I do anything. My girlfriend doesn’t know how insanely lucky she is that these are honestly in very good condition. The “test>>” 3ds has no yellowing and actually has a sleep mode, which the first 3ds does not have a sleep mode. Just thought I’d ask on here on what to do. I have pictures as well.
