The simple fact of the matter is that every aspect of the retail mimicking software on a developer 3DS, is that they can be updated at the will of the developer. It will run any revision of any system software provided it is compatible with the 3DS' revision and signed properly. The Home Menu revisions for developer 3DS' are usually identical in format to the retail 3DS Home Menu, however, the developer Home Menu differs from its retail counter-part in the following ways:

−

−

~~Identical~~ in format to the retail 3DS Home Menu, however, the developer Home Menu differs from its retail counter-part in the following ways:

−

*The Internet browser is stubbed

−

*Only includes (as a base)- Health and Safety Information, Game card, Nintendo 3DS Camera, Nintendo 3DS Sound, Mii Maker, StreetPass Mii Plaza, Activity Log, Download Play, System Settings + any developer applications(developer applications installed on the nand are not deleted when a system format is performed)

−

*System Settings has Activity Log's manual as a manual

−

*In Download Play, it does not download retail 3DS [[CIA]] files

−

*The Activity Log does not display Development Apps

−

*StreetPass Mii Plaza loads but there are no Mii characters, not even the owners Mii. Settings and Play options are stubs

−

*Mii Maker function "QR Code/Image Options" is a stub (the button that leads to it does not work)

−

*Any StreetPass or SpotPass functions do not work

−

*In System settings where the Version is supposed to be it reads 0.0.0-0E

−

*System Transfer is stubbed

−

*System Update connects to the 3DS retail update servers but gives an error before shuting down

−

+

* There is no set list of application on the home menu, with the exception of, (AFAIK) the *game card item*(the reserved slot for game cartridges)

+

* All applications like Nintendo 3DS Sound, and System Settings have to be installed manually.

+

* Currently there is no online updater for Development Units so applications have to be updated manually via the Dev Menu, by importing that application from it's ".cia" form.

+

* All system applications can* be deleted. *Only older revisions of the Dev Menu were capable of managing system applications, allowing for their deletion. Later revisions have this functionality removed. Note while in later revisions of the Dev Menu System applications cannot be seen, they can be imported.

== The Test Menu ==

−

The Test Menu is a menu alternative to the Home Menu (the default menu that starts up on regular 3DSs). It can be enabled by changing the 'Menu' option under "Other Setting" in the Config Menu to 'Test Menu', or by using the CTR Menu Selector(this is a Developer App ~~which can be found .~~ The test menu seems to vary upon firmware revisions. But for firmware 0.15.8 (r37901), looks like this:
