The Test menu, can only launch Dev menu (,system settings on newer versions) and slot 1 device. When the HOME Button is pressed while an application is running, that application is suspended and this menu is displayed;

however, to return to the Test Menu, the application must handle a press of the HOME Button.

Note this is not possible where the developer has intentionally disabled the functionality of the home button, like in trade show sample~~. A video of someone using a dev unit with such a game can be seen here at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1iYD70oUxE]~~.

Note this is not possible where the developer has intentionally disabled the functionality of the home button, like in trade show sample.

When an application is suspended, pressing the L button takes a screenshot of the upper and lower screens, storing it into the Capture folder of the SD Card. This function won't work if no SD Card is inserted.
