Another application built into the Nintendo 3DS firmware. It is a place where people can download multiplayer games from another DS or 3DS. With those compatible games you are able to use only one game card while playing against several people.

=== Exploit ===
A clever circumvention of security allowing a user to perform tasks that are not normally permitted. Often several exploits will be employed in a series with the user gaining increased authority over a system at each step, the goal typically being complete access and control.

A term used to describe the base 16 number system, in which each digit represents four bits. After the digits 0-9, the letters A-F are used to represent the values 10-15. Hexadecimal is the preferred format for displaying binary data, as it is easy to mentally convert to/from binary and uses only 2 characters per byte.

Secure Digital Cards are common type of memory cards used by the 3DS, digital cameras, music players, etc. The standard SD card has a maximum capacity of 2 gigabytes (2048 megabytes); however, some 4 GB cards exist but are rare.

=== Ticket ===
A [[ticket]] is a file containing signature and encryption information on a particular [[Glossary#Title|title]]. Tickets may be console-unique: In particular, tickets for [[eShop]] contents are issued uniquely for each 3DS and hence cannot be transferred directly to other devices. System titles (and other content not available on eShop) are using tickets called [[Ticket#Some_facts|CommonETickets]], which are common to all devices.
=== Title ===
A [[Titles|title]] is a 3DS Game on a card or in a 3DS. This includes the built-in channels and menus. A title is identified by a unique title ID, an 8 byte (4 character) long code used for title identification. All titles are encrypted for security purposes.

=== Title Metadata (TMD) ===
[[Title metadata]] is a format used for storing metadata about a title and its installed contents, including which contents they consist of and their SHA1 hashes.
=== TWL ===
Codename used for the Nintendo DSi.
