WM test is a test app included in the NitroSDK[1], TwlSDK[2], and CTR SDK. It is used to test the Wireless Manager library. The WM library handles most local wireless functions like download play and local multiplayer. The tests[3] 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.

Notes

  • A dump of this tool from a cartridge, along with 23 other roms, were available for a short period of time 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.
  • Tested on melonDS 0.9.5.
