I read a little bit about it..apparently its solely only for developing(games/software i dunno?). It apparently doesn't even play retail games.

I'd recommend people check out the above link for more detailed/technical info on the dev units.

But basically, all final/pressed discs have to go via Nintendo Japan for approval and such. They then have to be made at Nintendo's factories.
It's very time consuming for developers and not very practical when developers need discs for demos or review code to send to the media for previews, E3, and such.
RVT-Rs are the Wii Equivalent of DVD-Rs. Blank discs in large spindles that can be burnt to with a burner with specific firmware. It allows devs to burn and test in progress code quickly and easily.

Anytime you see unreleased Wii games at shows like E3, GDC etc... they are running on RVT-R readers. Though they will usually have the white faceplates.
Because these units are only supposed to be in the hands of developers it means if these demos are stolen they can't be used/dumped.

Because some of the earlier dev units had wiimotes with cords

i do not think the wii on ebay was stolen if you have looked at his older selling you would see he sold a PSP TEST SYSTEM for like $7000 so where do you think a wii dev system going for $700 lol thats 10x lower of a PSP test unit just my 2 cents

Yeah, I assume the Wii is connected to the dev unit and games are managed via the mini usb port on the front. You would need to have the proper software though you wouldn't be able to just plug it in to any old PC.
It's the same Zelda demo that was dumped by a forum member recently.

No, just no.
You're are an idiot.
I took the photos myself at a Nintendo event. They have the official operating instructions taped to the side of them ffs.

Are you sure you posted in the right thread? I'm confused
