The purpose of the following cartridge was to test and diagnose various functions on Nintendo 3DS systems during production. Something to note is that this is, unusually, an updated version of the original Nintendo DS aging cartridge (dated October 27th, 2010). Because of this, it is able to be used within an original DS/Lite. In order to get access to the main option menu, hold the start and select buttons upon startup.
