<h3>Differences from retail:</h3> Whether or not the stickers are real, this console is most definitely a prototype. Opening it up reveals an X4 prototype motherboard, and the shell has telltale signs of a prototype. The back of the console, much like the X3 prototype photographed in <a href="https://fccid.io/BKEUSG-001/External-Photos/External-Photos-626995">FCC documents</a>, features a backwards Nintendo logo, as well as the "SLOT-2" text printed 3 times. In addition, parts of the shell are colored differently than any retail unit. <br><br>

The X4 motherboard inside is mostly like the retail 01 motherboard, however there are two main differences: <br>
<br> &emsp;- <b>MIC1:</b> The board has some interesting through holes on the button side, along with a circle around them labelled "MIC1". These new holes connect to the microphone trace and ground. Curiously enough, "MIC1" is also present on the DS phat, and that is where the phat microphone connects. This suggests the prototype DS lite may have used phat microphones for testing. "MIC1" also appears to be included in the <a href="https://fccid.io/BKEUSG-001/Internal-Photos/Internal-Photos-1-626991" target="_blank">X3</a> and X2B boards. <br><br>

The X4 is a later stage prototype, as not much else changed from the X4 to the first released DS lite motherboard revision- with the exclusion of "MIC1' and "D9" of course. Some of the labeling moved around a bit, but all the traces are the same, and all parts are in their proper places. <h3>Firmware and BIOS:</h3> The firmware was dumped as soon as the console was recieved, and dissapointingly it came back as the worldwide region with a builddate of 2006/03/08 11:19, which is <a href="https://tcrf.net/Nintendo_DS#Version_Reporting_.26_Revisions" target="_blank">the latest worldwide firmware</a> to have been released. The BIOS also matched retail, though, as one user stated, "not surprised since bios was finalized earlier than 2006". Considering how the X3 board documents submitted to the FCC were in 2006, this would make much sense. <br>
<br> There might be an explanation for the very new retail firmware on the console: SL1. <br> The SL1 terminal on the DS lite, located by the volume switch, is used to write-protect the firmware. When SL1 is open, it is impossible to edit the firmware. This board's SL1 was soldered shut, meaning someone was tampering with the firmware. It may have been done by Nintendo (the ever handy FCC docs show that they did officially solder this shut on some prototypes) or it may just have been someone who purchased it at some point down the line. Big bummer either way. <br><br>

<p> These are dumps of 4 different <a href="https://wiki.raregamingdump.ca/index.php/Nintendo_DS_Classroom" target="_blank">Classroom DSis</a> in development mode. Very little is known about them, though they may have been used to test and develop classroom software. 5 of these are known to exist and were sold on Yahoo Auctions Japan around June of 2023. Those units were labelled as K04 through to K08. @collection_nintendo managed to win 4 of the 5 consoles, only missing K05. <br>
<br> Almost every DSi contains a program called "camera KART". We believe it is sort of augmented reality test, with KART standing for Kyoshitsuji Augmented Reality Test. We haven't completely figured out what it does, and likely never will with just the 3 of us (<a href="https://discord.gg/se9yQBeX3e" target="_blank">help us</a>), though we have a rough idea from seeing the program run. The bottom screen has a camera recognition value (shown as <code>recog</code>) which increases when it sees recognizable patterns. It responds well to images of tiles, static, and QR codes, giving a recognition of as high as 40. When the recognition is high enough, it will display a model from NitroFS on the top screen. <br>

<p>This copy of KART was flashed to a TWL development cartrdidge. It appears to be a later build than the NAND versions from before, including features such as swapping cameras (X button), freezing the camera (START, SELECT, or B button), and changing the frame rate (Y button). You can also toggle a blank pixel in the center of the camera with the left shoulder button.

There are no models inside of this KART, and the layout slightly changed by removing the "CAMERA KART" text and TIME.

We tried dumping KART through multiple tools, some made specifically for TWL dev carts, though nothing worked properly. Each dump had some section that was corrupt, as seen below. The first table is a dump from <a href="/dsidev/dsgamecardtosd.html">DS Game Card to SD</a>, and the second table is from <a href="https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/GodMode9i" target="_blank">GodMode9i</a>.

While each dump by itself is incomplete, there is enough good data between the two to piece together a working dump. Huge thanks to xp and MaxiBash for figuring this out. This combined dump works perfectly and should match the original data on the cartridge.

<h2 id="mangaon">MangaON development DSi (v1.0J_dev)</h2>
<p> This DSi was used for the development of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090205212450/http://nintendo.joystiq.com/2008/12/22/japan-now-to-have-two-wiiware-manga-services/" target="_blank">MangaON</a>, Sunsoft's unreleased service for WiiWare and DSiWare that would have distributed comics and manga. Articles from that time mention Dragon Ball and One Piece manga being offered, as well as others from Shonen Jump later on. The DSi we found would have been on display at <a href="https://www.inside-games.jp/article/img/2008/12/20/32805/62896.html" target="_blank">Jump Festa 2009</a> for people to try and learn about MangaOn. <br>While somewhat hard to see, photos of the event show the DSis in action. In fact, there's a chance this exact unit (or the very edge of it at least) is shown here: <br>

<img src="{{ site.releasedir }}classroom/photos/mangaon_in_real_life.jpg" alt="Jump Festa MangaON stand">
</div>
The MangaON DSi used to have the MangaON service installed, though it was overwritten by the home menu, suggesting that someone updated the console after the event was over. <br> Only the first of 1.4mb of 16.3mb are still present, or roughly 10%. We have the build date from 2008/12/17 at 18:52:11, banner, arm7/9 binaries, and part of the file that holds the comic data (comic.bin), though we can't check the comic because there is not documentation on the format. We have about 1mb of 12mb for the comic data, so if someone figures out the format we believe the first couple pages may be recoverable. <br>
<br> The MangaON DSi also has the oldest known version of <a href="/dsidev/nandfiler.html">NandFiler</a> with a unique banner design and layout. <br><br>

<p> This is a development console owned by Altron. They never made anything for the DSi, so this DSi has nothing of interest on it beyond the usual prototype home menu and settings, and as expected those have already been dumped from other development units.

<p> We don't know anything about this DSi. It has text printed on the back that says 「販売店様 説明員用」, or "For Dealers And Explainers" in english. It runs a normal retail firmware and so it isn't as interesting as we had hoped, though the text on the shell is still somewhat of a mystery.
