this adds in two functions that were an exported symbol in the system libraries, but not included in any headers. these are useful for doing two things:

  • determine what kind of console you're running on (for users who want to know if they're running a CAT-DEV, CAT-R, Kiosk Unit, Retail Wii-U's, etc.)
  • determine if the wii-u is currently running in production/development mode. this shouldn't be too useful for many users, as not too much changes besides certain extra libraries/etc. are loaded in memory. however, users may want to lock things behind development mode as dev mode can only be normally enabled when there's extra memory.
