Theoretically does anyone still use, need or want 3DS development model systems with the twl menu and nand filer apps?
Some of these fell into my lap and I’m wondering if people still have a need for this sort of thing...

It plays retail games but it’s used by software developers. I work for a company that ended up with a lot of stuff. Like A LOT.
What the individual buyer is going to value it at hence why auctions are a fairly fair method of sellingI haven’t really figured out what they’re worth
I haven’t really figured out what they’re worth. Seems like they go from $300 up to $2500 depending on when it sold. I also have this thing... and other stuff

True, because they're literally nothing without the UIC-MIDI card to connect it to a PC (and even then they're nearly nothing compared to the actual "home console 3DS versions" actually advertised as debuggers)their cheat/ROM hacker/debug options are not anything special
If you want to upload something to the eShop (or send it off for physical copy manufacturing) you have to test it, at the very least, on a Panda console (like the 3DS you posted)Or are they still useful for developers.
With a computer (who would have guessed? lol) and what $ony calls a "reference tool" and Nintendo usually a "box" (like the pictured NDEV for the Wii) - a pimped out console with all the useful extras like hardware breakpoints, near real time memory viewing/editing, more memory than the commercial version, disc/gamecard emulation, reduced security, ...Very odd I wonder how exactly nintendo creates games cause this is alot of odd hardware

Then you have the test kits (Panda, RVT-* Reader, DEX, Debugging Station, ...) which are a lot closer to the commercial model, may not have any debugging/capture features (may or may not be added via accessories but strongly inferior to the above kind), and "testing" pretty much only means "hacked (or nearly so) as manufactured, to the extent needed to allow playing unreleased games without having to get them certified by the console maker every single build"
