Today we have released a previously lost piece of Nintendo DS software titled Suguroku DS. Created by Wiseman, this software was used by hospital staff to enter patients’ medical records into their database. To do this, a server connection and proprietary server software is needed. Suguroku DS was never made available to the general public for obvious reasons, and over the years, it has been sold with massive pricetags on various auction sites. Now as the Nintendo DS is long obsolete, it was replaced by an iPad app titled Suguroku Home.
You can download high quality scans for the packaging here.

The following dump is a copy of CTRAging for the Nintendo 3DS, an application to test units during production. This copy was acquired from an early 3DS unit (2010) in “Test Menu” mode. Unfortunately there appears to be some sort of technical issue, therefore it does not boot.

Today we have released an internal Nintendo DSi tool titled “WRFU Tester v3.01”. This version was built on Jun 17th, 2010 and it was likely used in the Nintendo Uji Product Technology factory. Not much about this tool is known besides the fact that it was used for some sort of wireless inspection/testing.
We have released the long awaited McDonald’s Nintendo DS cartridge titled “eSMART 2.0” (not to be confused with the previously preserved eCDP). eSMART 2.0 was created with the purpose of training pre-existing employees in Japanese McDonald’s restaurants, and thus, these cartridges were never supposed to make it out into the general public.
After a few listings of this game appearing here and there, we finally assembled a small group to fundraise and secure a copy!
Massive thanks to the following people who assisted to ensure the preservation of this cartridge: IHATEROBLOX2, Suicune41, Mistyhands, Mecasacax, PsyKo, HudU1801, TheMadCroctor, IAmThePerson, j4m13c0, and Icyelut.
Today we have released an internal Nintendo DSi tool titled “WRFU Tester v2.01”. This version was built on May 18th, 2009 and it was likely used in the Nintendo Uji Product Technology factory (Judging from the stickers and timeframe). Not much about this set is known besides the fact that it was used for some sort of wireless inspection/testing. The same cartridge can also be seen being used across various Nintendo FCC filings.
Today we have released a dump of a MAC formatted magneto-optical disk from Infogrames. They contain various marketing and packaging assets for Worms Armageddon on the Nintendo 64.

This is a prototype of Beat City by THQ and Universomo. Some differences that could be noted are as follows: A different publisher logo screen sequence, a different game icon, and various other differences within the game’s graphics.
This is an 8M pack for the Satellaview which contains two brand new pieces of software! The first piece of data on this pack is titled “Konae-chan no Dokidoki Penguin Kazoku”. It’s a simple game with similar gameplay to Frogger. The player must collect as many crates as they can and reach the end, all while dodging obstacles and keeping an eye on the timer. Previously, the event version of this game was dumped, however, the version we’ve released here today is the normal non-event version. A comparison between the data for both show that there are byte differences, but the actual effects to the gameplay are currently unknown.
The next piece of software on this 8M is a digital magazine titled “St. GIGA Choujou Kessen 2-15” and contains information on Mario Kart 64.
