Nintendo DS Debug Dev Unit Cart

[heartgold]

What use is this? We can already bypass to play DS games and what more do we want?

a header that cant be blocked and is for CUSTOM software

DSi might benefit, custom software for DSlite, like changing the OS/layout of the menu?

true

plus may (rare change) but contain a sort of code sign to test data

so if we could sign something so that it can be used

No more blocked DS = anything data loadable that can load DS data
would not open up 3DS tho

Nintendo DS and DS Lite Models of handhelds

no Dsi

Haven't got time to read the thread right now, but in case nobody has posted it, here's the katakana...

エージングカード - eejingukaado
AGING CARD

 

[Pong20302000]

lol i want that Yellow card hes got

could repair it quiet easily

001/065

either early game or newer dev unit (possible DSi)

my guess is a ealry game test

same NTR code on it tho

I'll throw this here. I'm pretty sure that this is a Burn-In Test card. It was used in pre-release to see how a DS would fare in strong-use conditions.

This was also used to see how the DS aged (hence the name "Aging card") and the eventual problems that could've arisen from that.

So this isn't the DS's Holy Grail, sorry.

I hope a temper doesn't get it as the average board member here probably doesn't have the hardware or experience to do more than just pull the out of the DS and run the dumper homebrew. This could very easily damage the electronics on the cart.

This really needs to go into the hands of someone who actually has access to an electronics lab at home/work and can actually investigate the internals of the cart. I would guess this cart would have more hardware available to it to allow for debugging and storage of games such as extra RAM, an EEPROM and maybe an FPGA as a controller. All these things wouldn't be dumped by your average homebrew software and could also be damaged by inserting/removing the cart from a DS while switched on.

It could also be that it includes an FPGA or another microcontroller that can communicate with the DS to put it into debug mode. This would really need someone with a good knowledge (at least degree level) of electronics to analyse.

BTW, it's just a plain cart with some flash memory on it, which stores the aging program:

And here I go, I just killed whatever anticipation could've been for this cart

Funny because I can dump my ROMs with DSL and 3-in-1.

I can't get my EZIV to work in DS mode.

So I use NDS Backup Tool.

All normal DS carts look like that, sometimes with a few different variations. I don't understand why this would be a put down?

 

[Deleted-273695]

The funny thing is that they wouldn't be that hard to fix, the guy smashed the pins which you could use from other parts of things to get a fully running cart... Hopefully there is a dump cause i have an original ds and dslite.

Because this is a Debug Dev unit cart, so people expected something awesome from that?

 

[NostalgicMillennial]

well shit....time to put some BBQ sauce on my NES controller....shit...

30 bids at $162.......fuck

 

[WiiUBricker]

lol, that's useless trash

If it is a 3DS Debug Dev Unit Cart, then we can talk.

Funny, I got to play with a dev 3DS at an event.

They have alternate firmware.

that japanese kid who had pictures of the 3DS and compared all the sizes to all the other DS consoles (you know what i'm talking about)


had the 3DS SDK cart in the video....wonder if that will show up in about 6 years???

(since an average product is milked for about 5 years before it goes stale)

the Nintendo DS lasted 3 years longer than normal 5 (being introduced in 2004. due to constant upgrades...DSL, DSi)


11 hours until another one of a kind find will never see the light of day with the DS scene..

We can't let this one get away like the Nintendo 64DD SDK console unit did.

 

[paced98]

will this work on dsi???

There's also a video capture tool up for grabs : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nintendo-Nitro-Video...8#ht_500wt_1156

(only really for UK people probably, postage to USA is ridiculous, I assume elsewhere would be too)

That is really cool, but he is asking entirely too much in postage.. $4,000 GBP?...

 

[boktor666]

Someone is bidding over 200 dollars... If you are a DS fanatic, this is a must have, otherwise, this is just a card with that one aging program thing... (mentioned by the Ace already).

So would one of you really be willing to lay down that kind of money for this, even if you don't know what to do with it, except for the coolness of it.
