Proto:Nintendo DSi
This page details one or more prototype versions of Nintendo DSi.
This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: This section needs a lot of research done. What are the 46 branches, and even if it's missing the TWLIPL_Private repository, are there leftovers beyond from the actual System Menu? Are there any actual software differences for the iQue applications beyond some broken non-translated texts, and should these be put into their own Proto pages? |
Despite the Nintendo DSi fading into obscurity in terms of development timelines and prerelease material, 2 early System Menu and System Settings prototypes were uncovered from different sources. These are known by the menu source code as "System Menu RED".
Additionally, in the September 2020 Nintendo leaks, located in platinum.7z/twl.7z/TwlIPL is the source code of 46 different DSi branches, and in generic.7z/sd.rar are several SystemUpdaters containing prototypes used for localizing the Nintendo DSi as the iQue DSi in China.
