Revision as of 14:04, 14 February 2020
The NDEV (product code RVT-001) is the main development system for the Wii, taking the form of a large black box including full Wii hardware with 128MB of RAM as well as debugger and Host I/O hardware.
The NDEV features all the ports and functionality found on a retail system, in addition to additional communication ports for debugging and host communication. It does not have a disc drive or internal hard drive, so all software is read from NAND or the host system. The NDEV cannot boot without an attached host system, and can only launch disc titles if they are emulated by an ODEM (optical disc emulation) program on the host system.
Known Versions
Image of a NDEV 2.0 showing the 4 wired Wii Remote ports; from Dev Tool V4 setup guide.
The only known difference between the 1.x revisions is the Hollywood revision, as this is how OSGetConsoleType checks to see which NDEV revision is being used. The Pre-Production Boards are the retail board equivalents for each of these prerelease NDEV versions. The difference between 2.0 and "2.01(ES)" is believed to be the addition of wireless functionality, as an official Revolution SDK document describing compatibility for various Wii Remote models states that wired controllers are intended for the 2.0 and wireless controllers are intended for the 2.01.[1] Between 1.x and 2.0, the differences are:
- Changes in NDEV text size
- Addition of crypto support to IOS
- Likely addition of a boot program (with visible output to the TV)
- (Unlikely, rumor/speculation) Removal of second SD card slot
- Addition of wireless functionality
Versions:
- 1.0 - Hollywood revision 0
- 1.1 - Hollywood revision 1
- 1.2 - Hollywood revision 2
- 2.0 - Hollywood revision 16
- 2.01 (ES)
Between 2.0 and 2.1, the number of wired Wii Remote ports went from 4 to 1. This is the main way to identify a 2.0 (rare) from a 2.1 (very common).
- 2.1 - Hollywood revision 17
