A build of '''WM Test''' for the Nintendo DS.
'''WM test''' is a test app included in the NitroSDK<ref>[https://twlsdk.randommeaninglesscharacters.com/docs/nitro/NitroSDK/romfiles/wmtesttool.html RandomMeaninglessCharacters NitroSDK docs]</ref>, TwlSDK<ref>[https://twlsdk.randommeaninglesscharacters.com/docs/twl/TwlSDK/romfiles/wmtesttool.html RandomMeaninglessCharacters TwlSDK docs]</ref>, and CTR SDK. It is used to test the '''W'''ireless '''M'''anager library. The WM library handles most local wireless functions like download play and local multiplayer. The tests<ref>[https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/3DS_Development_Unit_Software#NINTENDO_DS_-_WMtest 3DBrew Development Software - WMtest]</ref> from WM test are listed below:
 
* '''''Scan Test:''''' For finding other DSes distributing software over NiFi and WiFi access points. WM Test allows you to narrow your search to specific channels
* '''ScanEx Test''': This is a more detailed version of Scan Test.
* '''MeasureChannel Test''': Checks if and how much a specific channel is being used,
* '''Noise Mode''': This will send noise over NiFi and jam legitimate signals
 
This app has been used in every SDK for the DS line, including the CTR SDK (3DS). There are a total of four versions across all known SDKs.

* Tool for testing the Nintendo DS' wireless module. It has functions for checking other consoles with wireless play functionality or scanning local networks.
* A dump of this tool from a cartridge, along with 23 other roms, were available for a short period of time [https://x.com/forestillusion/status/1310951288931323913 until they were removed by Forest of Illusion]. They stated that the seller shared these roms to a handful of people, but they weren't allowed to be released yet. This app is an SDK demo, so it can be shared outside of that release.
