Another Nintendo DSi prototype popped up on GBAtemp, posted by a user by the name of '''HI_Ricky'''. It has been rumoured that this unit was made before CPU-X4, perhaps this is CPU-X3.

<center>A video was also posted showing that the unit has no menu. It autoboots into an inserted cartridge, similar to CPU-X4.</center>

Try to contact this guy on GBAtemp named "HI_Ricky", but don't spam him to death. He owns the prototype and knows the most about it. Maybe a dump is possible with Normmatt's "NAND Test App"(?) method, which allows him to basically 'inject' a homebrew application in an app that has total NAND access from the cartridge slot. Plus, it's devsigned, so it can be copied over to a devcart. And yes, this is one of the few official Nintendo apps that have NAND access from Slot-1.

'''Update''': The prototype was sold to an unknown seller, this bulls*@# is just CPU-X4 all over again. HI_Ricky also has a Twitter and he is on AssemblerGames, so anyone with a verified account can PM him. Someone on Gaming Alexandria already DMed him on Twitter, but he hasn’t been active in a while, so getting a response may take a while. HI_Ricky also posted more pictures on AssemblerGames, so we should put those here as well.

'''Update 2''': The unit was sold, ''this REAAAAAALLY is the CPU-X4 bulls*@# all over again.'' I guess this prototype is now lost, Voodooween didn't buy it, neither did Normmatt. Perhaps ProtonX bought it, but chances are low.
'''Update 2''': HI_Ricky refused to say who owns it, ''this REAAAAAALLY is the CPU-X4 bulls*@# all over again.'' I guess this prototype is now lost, Voodooween didn't buy it, neither did Normmatt. Perhaps ProtonX bought it, but chances are low. Also, AssemblerGames finally shut down, but he's on ObscureGamers.
