Looking at the header definitions reveals some interesting information. All the NDEV versions are specified including 1.2 and 2.1. The Wii (RVL) definitions are separated from the GameCube ones; RVL_RETAIL1-3 are listed as 0000021-000023. It is unclear what this means exactly, as at the time of the SDK release there should not have been more than one retail version of the Wii defined; as such, these may refer to unseen prototype retail boards. They may also correspond to NDEV versions, or have been used as identification for the [[RVT-R Reader]] and [[RVT-H Reader]]; it seems logical that the original retail unit would be RETAIL1, the RVT-R would be RETAIL2, and the RVT-H would be RETAIL3, as the RVT-R and RVT-H (particularly the former) were meant to somewhat simulate a retail environment. Since the RVT-H is much farther from a retail system than the RVT-R, it is possible that only the RVT-R was used as RETAIl2, and RETAIL3 was reserved for future use; this is completely unknown, however.

Similarly, there are the "Pee Pee" (pre-production) boards (See [[Pre-Production Boards]]). The disassembly in the section below reveals that these boards were pre-release retail units corresponding to NDEV versions.

Similarly, there are the "PP" (pre-production) boards (See [[Pre-Production Boards]]). The disassembly in the section below reveals that these boards were pre-release retail units corresponding to NDEV versions.

In the separate section for legacy GC definitions, the [[Revolution Emulator]] is found with ID 1000008, which is the next ID from DEVHW4. It is unknown why it is considered to be a GameCube console type, however it is likely that the Revolution Emulator is not substantially different from the [[Official Dolphin Emulator]], and since it was likely used very early in the Wii's development, this may be why it is considered to be a GC platform. It is also worth noting that the TDEV platforms actually start at an ID analogous to MINNOW rather than HW1, being (last digit of ID) 4-7. Overall, the biggest mystery here is the different RVL_RETAIL types and the pee pee boards.
