This application on the top screen displays the firmware and revision of the Dev Menu, the free space available on the [[Flash Filesystem#TWL partition|TWL(DSi) NAND partition]] and [[SD Filesystem|SD card]] if present. It also provides information on the current file or device selected, as well as navigation instructions for the bottom screen.The bottom screen has three different windows, which are:

*~~Programs~~- From this ~~window~~, applications can be loaded from the [[Flash Filesystem|NAND]], the [[SD Filesystem|SD card]] and the slot 1 card (only a select scope of applications, see below for Dev Menu revisions and their corresponding scope of applications) . ~~This is shown in~~ the ~~format of "Unique Id' '~~[[~~Serials#Product Code|Product Code~~]]'". ~~Installed titles can be deleted from~~ this ~~menu~~.

*Program - From this tab, applications can be loaded from the [[Flash Filesystem|NAND]], the [[SD Filesystem|SD card]] and the slot 1 card (only a select scope of applications, see below for Dev Menu revisions and their corresponding scope of applications). Installed software can be uninstalled by pressing X on it.

*Import - From this tab, the SD card can be browsed to select and install a .[[CIA]] file. In later revisions this was renamed to ''SDMC''.

*HIO - A tab available in later revisions of the Dev Menu. Used for installing CIAs stored on the host PC, this is supported by hio services, and hio daemon on the host PC.

*~~Import~~- From this ~~window~~, ~~titles compiled in~~ the ~~format of a .~~[[~~CIA~~]] ~~file,~~ can be ~~installed from the SD card. In later revisions this was renamed to ''SDMC''~~.

*ExtData - From this tab, the 3DS's [[Extdata|ExtData]](except NAND shared extdata) can be deleted.

*~~HIO~~- A tab ~~available~~ in ~~later revisions~~ of ~~the Dev Menu. Used for installing CIAs stored on the host PC,~~ this ~~is supported by hio services, and hio daemon on the host PC~~.

*SExtData - "Secure Extdata", this feature was merged with the ExtData tab early on in the history of this app.

*ExtData- ~~From this window,~~ the ~~3DS's~~ [[~~Extdata~~|~~ExtData~~]](~~this includes all ExtData~~) ~~can be deleted~~

Titles are shown in the Program tab by "Unique Id", a substring (2nd-6th character) of the lower order byte of the [[Title list|Title ID]], and by their [[Product Code]] (CTR)/name in header (TWL); some other non-executable special titles (applets or CFAs), explicitly programmed in the specific version of DevMenu, are displayed in red.

~~(Note that retail 3ds games are~~ not ~~recognised by Developer 3DSs and~~ the ~~Dev Menu prints "Unknown Card" in the 'Programs' window~~ and ~~shows no details~~ on ~~top screen)~~

DevMenu is not capable of bridging the differences between retail and developer-signed software, i.e. it cannot be used to launch retail cards on Panda systems.

(Also note that if a 3ds executable cannot be launched from the Dev Menu due to restrictive flags in the executable, such as restrictive memory, the product ID will be coloured red as opposed to black)

~~While performing~~ a manual update with CIAs on a dev unit, pressing Start + Y while highlighting the NATIVE_FIRM CIA will trigger an option to update firmware, thus allowing a downgrade.
