Hmm... You've visited my empty profile I see...

Hi there! I'm Trash_Bandatcoot, and you'll find here some bits and pieces I've found out through research and Googleling (or is it "Googling"?)

(Nevermind.)


Most of this is DSi-related because that's mainly what I do, finding DSi stuff. Keep in mind that this thread might be less serious than my regular articles. Well, scroll for a bit, and maybe you find something interesting!

This was made possible by amazing people like Voodooween, Normmatt and many others who own a lot of collectables and development systems.

DSi finds

A while back, Girtana1 confirmed he has a unit running v1.0J, which was the version for launch systems. However, he stated that he does not want to release the NAND yet, but he is ready at any time to send it to me private or to send it out in the wild.

Flipping everything over, Voodooween has an IS-TWL-DEBUGGER with prototypes from "Virtual Toys". Virtual Toys was a company that went out of buisness in 2015. Most of their units and data was sold to collectors and sellers alike. 1 of those things went to Voodooween, containing a bunch of demos for "VT-Tennis" mislabled as "Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam" because these developers were drunk as f##k and one demo for "Hello Flowerz".

3DS finds

When talking with Voodooween, he discussed 2 demo units, one named "CPU-X1B" and the other "CPU-X2A". CPU-X1B contains a bunch of demos. Some work while others show a yellow screen due to missing memory. These demos were probably built to work with some sort of IS-CTR-DEBUGGER, yet no f##king plug is anywhere to be found on the unit!

 
The menu looks similar to the stolen E3 unit, but it has some different text than the stolen unit.
 
This demo was created 3 weeks before the E3 conference, E3 demo, confirmed.

Something that shocked me is that a demo of Photo Dojo DX was on the unit, which never saw the light of day even though the game was so successful. Hell, Nintendo even made the game FREE for a limited time in the US, so why did they stop at Photo Dojo DX? This would've been amazing! You can read more here (once I finish the page).

Oh, and about the CPU-X2A unit, that one starts a Mii Maker prototype from the moment you turn it on. We haven't seen any photos from that yet.
