Howdy folks! I figured I would repost I wrote on a different forum concerning the 3DS dev model I acquired. Before anybody asks, NO IT DOES NOT PLAY ROMS!!!!!!! NONE. It doesn't even recognise real 3DS games. SO DON'T ASK.

I snipped a few lines from the original writeup on a different site, since it pertained to that site only. Here's a link to the original postclick me

urisma said:Howdy folks! I recently acquired a 3DS dev model and wanted to post all the pictures and info I can about it. I haven't had much time to play with it, but I'll share what's here.
Top screen flap is a gradient of silver going into black. The main body is all black except for the area around the cartridge dock, which is red.
It's on SDK version 0.14.23, r33437, no patch.
Memory Mode is 64 mb.
It boots into a very simple menu that allows launching the DevMenu, launching from flash cart, and closing the current info, as well as displaying the info above. Trying to launch a flash cart without one gives the following string "last result = c880448d". Pressing start enters the home menu.
The devMenu has 4 different panes, Programs, Import, ExtData, and SExtData. Programs allows launching from flash cart as well as launching 2 built in programs stored locally on the 3DS I presume (NOT on the SD card). These programs are "DS INTERNET" and "dlplay". I have not succeeded in getting either of them to run (or at least act like they're running). Clicking A on either one just brings up a black screen. They do, however, automatically turn on wireless.
The Import tab shows a browser for the SD card. The stock SD card had nothing on it. I've tried putting a few test files to see if I can import anything, but I haven't had any luck yet. Will be brute forcing file endings later.
I don't know anything about ExtData.
SExtData is also Shared Ext Data. Pressing Y initialises it, but I can't figure out what exactly that does.
It does not read DS flash carts, DS games OR 3DS games. I presume it only reads 3DS flash carts. Putting in any other cart gives an "unknown cart" error.
Model is "LTZ-CTR-S-USZ". It's copyright 2010, no 2011 on it, unlike the launch 3DS's.
Here's a link to the photo album so you can check out all the pictures I've taken. http://imageshack.us/g/405/20110627172530.jpg/

You'll notice on the pictures of the back of the unit that text has been whited out. I deleted the serial number and Nintendo's development contact info.
