=System Updaters=
[[File:CSUscrnshot.png|300px|thumb|right|CSU Screenshot]]
There are two kinds of system updaters for dev (panda) units, CTR System Updater (CSU) and SNAKE System Updater. As the names imply, the former is for original 3DS and the latter is for New 3DS. They are used to update the panda unit's 'firmware'/SDK Version. The romfs of the CSU contains the contents that will be installed to NAND. They contain all system titles as well as Devmenu and Config.

This NAND application (00040000-0ff40102) is a text-mode advanced configuration menu for the 3DS.
This NAND application (00040000-0ff40102) is a text-mode advanced configuration menu for the 3DS.
When open, similiarly to the regular [[System Settings]], the Home menu is not accessible, and the console is forced to be rebooted on exit (accomplished by pressing the Power button).

*Dlp Force Child Import/Dlp Debug - (enable/disable) - normally the 3ds caches downloaded "Download Play (Dlp)" applications on the nand and only re-downloads, overwriting the cached copy if the version application being requested to downloaded is higher than what is currently present on the nand. Enabling this option forces the 3ds to download and overwrite the cached copy on the nand, regardless of the version of the application being downloaded. This is of course for testing purposes.

*FS Latency Emulation - Filesystem Latency, in milliseconds (0ms-2550ms). Selection is in increments of 10. (ie 0ms->10ms->20ms...)

*Raw RTC Setting - Adjusts time [[Anti Time-Travel|directly on the hardware RTC]]. The resulting time is also displayed as a convenience. If the application being tested uses GetUserTimeOffset() to detect if the user has changed the clock, this can be used to change the clock without the application detecting it.

If the application being tested uses GetUserTimeOffset() to [[Anti Time-Travel|detect if the user has changed the clock]], this can be used to change the clock without the application detecting it.
*Eula Setting - Allows user to change "Agree Version" namely: "ff.ff" the two symbol sets are interchangeable with combination variations from aa to 99 (default is 00.00 where the Eula is not accepted yet).
*Eula Setting - Input the "Agree Version", a 2-byte number representing the latest accepted version (major and minor) of the online services agreement. 00.00 is used to mean "not accepted". This setting is commonly adjusted to its maximum value, ff.ff, to bypass issues with playing foreign region games online caused by mismatching latest agreement versions.

*Coppacs Setting - In the U.S., a law called the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires consent from the parent or guardian for collection and use of personal information from children under the age of 13. Canada has a nearly identical law. This setting is [[Cfg:GetRegionCanadaUSA|only enabled for software for the Americas region, and when the country in System Settings is set to the US or Canada]].

With the release of SDK 1.1.0, this application was superseded by the introduction of the "Menu" choice in the [[3DS Development Unit Software#Config|Config Menu]] and consequently removed as a standard application.

The Stereo Camera Calibrator (00040000-0ff40600), in a nutshell, allows the user to adjust the configuration of the outer cameras in relation to each other. It can be configured automatically by positioning the 3DS a set distance away from a special chart. It can also be configured manually, by setting the rotation of each camera image and the size of the right eye camera. The 3D effect can be perceived by superimposing the right eye camera image translucently with the left eye camera image or by viewing the 3D image directly by use of the parallax barrier in the 3DS Screen.

This region-specific application exists to debug <code>API( JumpToEshop() )</code> on the 3DS. This was created so a developer can test parts of their game in which the player can preview or purchase titles within a game. It is mainly used in conjunction with Downloadable content. It has a very simple interface showing the reason for its existence and controls for exiting to the home menu or finalizing the Dummy Shop. The Dummy Nintendo eShop also shares the same Title ID and Unique ID as the Retail Nintendo E-Shop.

A simple but polished gamecard or SD application (00040000-00036A00) that, comparably to retail multi-video titles (such as "Shaun The Sheep"), allows its user to select moflex files directly from the root of the SD card, then watch them (complete with seek bar, FF/pause/REW buttons, and an auto-dimming user interface!)
