We’ve preserved yet another version of the WRFU Tester for the Nintendo DSi! As of writing, this is the earliest version of this software which has been found (version 0.60), and is dated months before the launch of the DSi. Not much about this tool is known besides the fact that it was used for some sort of wireless inspection/testing.
