Hacking Curious about 3DS copypasta photo

[Talic]

This topic may not belong here, however; I can't think of any board more knowledgeable on the following subject:

This 4chan copypasta photo had recently been showing up on /v/. It talks about a "test cartridge" that Nintendo uses in it's 3DS hardware repair, but is assumed by the photo creator to be a "devkit" of sorts for "hacking."

I'd only take anything from 4chan with a grain of salt, so I ask, is there a such thing? Does a "Dev-Card" (if you will) used by Nintendo & it's technicians exist? What would it allow them to do with a 3DS when being used? If this isn't a devcard, then what could it be?

Surely some kid didn't just ignorantly hand back over the key to the 3DS & all it's true potential. I can't believe something like that would exist.

You might have to save that photo & zoom-in to read the text. My apologies.

Thanks for the heads up. Sorry for being a slowpoke. I'll ask a mod to take this down.

Well to be honest, that photo had already found it's way onto Facebook in some sort-of cesspool trickle-down.

As I said earlier, I take everything from there with a grain of salt. I only occasionally lurk & read what's new because of how fast-paced info gets posted on there. If something were to happen in the video game world, you can imagine it'd be on /v/ in a heartbeat, before an journalist could cover it. Although that is with all of the boards nasty downfalls.
