This isn't too big of a cost if you're looking to actually publish on the platform, but it is a pretty big fixed cost if you're just looking to goof around on the platform.
Maybe someone can clarify if this is the starting cost. From my reading, at minimum you need one of the CTR devices or (EDIT)IS-SNAKE devices to do anything.
Would have loved if I could just buy one of the dev-only Pandas 3DSs for $200 even if it meant not being allowed to use carts (since I didn't have a writer).
Given how dirt-cheap DS flash carts are, us hobbyists are probably better sticking to that for now...
- snuxoll 10y agoYou can purchase an IS-SNAKE and develop download-only titles with normal 2DS/3DS hardware according to the site.

Card title development requires a CTR flash card for guideline checks. ==== WiiU: Engineers Each engineer will need a CAT-DEV kit for development. Testing For testing, CAT-R kits will need to be used. They closely emulate a retail Wii U. CAT-R kits can run games that have been burned to CAT-R discs, and they can also run images installed to the system via SD card. They cannot run retail Wii U games. And you can run your soft on CFW'd 3DS or WiiU, but don't tell N about that.
