Voodooween has an IS-TWL-DEBUGGER with prototypes from "Virtual Toys". Virtual Toys was a company that went out of business 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".

On the "stuff that's released" side, I've found a bunch of (probably) unused sound effects and music in both Paper Plane and Pyoro. Some of them seem to be layers of music, some of these songs show their full versions when you use the devtool known as the "NAND SoundPlayer", which plays any sound_data.sdat. For example, it was nearly impossible to hear the full version of the "2 Player VS" music from Paper Plane.

Talking about the X2A unit, it has options for reading CTR Carts and TWL Carts, a broken application with "CTAP" as a title ID, a prototype version of the Mii Maker with missing features and a non-working QR Mii reader with a debug menu coming up if you press "B", and this weird... application..........

From [[TwlNmenu]], deleted it because it looked f##king stupid.
<nowiki>
The existance of NandFiler and TwlNmenu was discovered at Gamescom 2009 when users by the name of [https://assemblergames.com/threads/dsi-nandfiller-and-twl-menu.24102/ <b>Demo</b>] and [http://dsibrew.org/wiki/Talk:Nintendo_Software Shadowchao] started discussions about 2 development apps. Unfortunatly, both were unable to open the applications, because there was security walking around and the Nintendo DSi unit was hooked up to a monitor.
Fast-forwarding to Febuary 11th, 2013, a collector by the name of [http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?StartRow=416&catid=10&threadid=21330 <b>LimboFunk</b>] mentioned a Nintendo DSi Development Unit, as well as the correct names for the applications. There wasn't much discussion after that, except for references, with no dumps being made. However, on September 2nd, 2017, a TWLSDK was leaked containing WMTestTool, RelayStation, modified versions of DS Download Play named MB_Child and Rev. 11364 of NandFiler and TwlNMenu.</nowiki>
From [[Japanese Nintendo DSi Prototype]], deleted it because it turns out these aren't unused, there is a viewable Launcher.
<nowiki>
Unused data in the Launcher has also been found. A file named '''fanfare.32.wav''' is weirdly enough the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJry06hb5N0 Mario Kart Wii/Mario Kart: Double Dash!! "Race Starting"] sound effect.
Furthermore, there are 3 .bnr files, named '''Emptybanner.bnr''', '''NoBanner.bnr''' and '''NoCardBanner.bnr''' . These files would probably be used in the future for a System Menu, as they show icons for no cartridge inserted, no banner made or shown or no banner found.
[[File:EmptyBanner.png|frameless|left]] - <big><big>EmptyBanner.bnr, probably used as a placeholder for prototype applications that didn't have their icons yet. However, this was quickly replaced with the '''Nintendo DSi™ Demonstration''' placeholder.</big></big>
[[File:NoBanner.png|frameless|left]] - <big><big>NoBanner.bnr, probably used in a future prototype System Menu if no banner data was present.</big></big>
[[File:NoCardBanner.png|frameless|left]] - <big><big>NoCardBanner.bnr, probably used in a future prototype System Menu when no cartridge was inserted.</big></big>
And although it's not shown, the Launcher and Settings both have their own icons.

[[File:Settings.png|frameless|left]] - <big><big>Prototype Settings icon.</big></big></nowiki>
From [[SystemUpdater]], it had no real point being there.

On 09-02-2019, a user named Voodooween started DMing Trash_Bandatcoot about a specific TWL cartridge that can update to v1.4 and change regions. With no dumps being possible, Voodooween did send Trash_Bandatcoot screenshots to see the cart in action. At the time, both were not sure how the cartridge worked and how it operates.
On 1-5-2019, after conversations with d0k3, the creator of GodMode9, another user named Normmatt said that he has 3 SRL's versions, not only for v1.4a, but also for v1.4 and v1.3a. He also stated that the cartridge works on an IS-TWL-DEBUGGER and that it does contain devsigned TAD's. Later, the SRL files were made publicly.

[[Flowerz Demo]], we barely have any information on this.
That's it for now, cya.
