Hi the other day I found information about this console, but did not know of its existence or not remembered. Is it like a NR-READER?
It can only read NR discs, has double the RAM of an NR-Reader/normal GC and is used for development of games and debugging. The overall advantage of it is that the disc is comes with enables you to send graphics to it right away (assuming you have the right software and the USB cable) and you can see what they all look like and whatnot.
The TDEV was a development kit build by SN Systems and Nintendo to work with SN Systems Prodg software. The picture is only half the kit its missing it PC interface and the NR disc, It was designed to be a low cost alternative to other nintendo kits.
=( I almost got one of these off ebay years ago. The seller couldn't wait a few days and needed the cash sooner.
We need a T-dev faq. T-dev works using an interface that has an expiring certificate. All units without the certificate are useless past being a collectible.
Ahha, clever. Can you get it from the TDev itself if you had one that was still valid and one that wasn't?
You need to be an educational institution participating in the T-Dev program and get fresh certs which last only a semester's length of time.
Is the cert in the Hw or just in the PC SN tools? I can understand if it's in the PC tools in which case people are ****ed. Thank god SN stopped doing that with their tools recently.
Oh you mean the SN systems cert, yeh I know about that, took me a while to find a source that has them but I found one ;D
That also means you're one of the few who owns a TDEV? I was once close to buying 12 of these and then SN interrupted the deal and wanted their units back. MAJOR BUMMER!!
No, I've got a DDH. The cert is to use any of the SN software, the hardware in unaffected by it, I chose ProDG over metroworks because metroworks looked utter crud and ProDG is awesome!
