Many of these are internal equivalents to TWL EVA's tests.] sequence: FALSE group: true preview: /external/running_on_ctr-mother.jpg --- NandInitializer is a collection of tests used to set up a DSi NAND. It allows for creating system files, installing firmware and a bootloader, formatting NAND, region changing, and more. NandInitializer seems to be most directly related to TWL EVA, possibly being the main inspiration or starting point. There are 3 versions available:

- NandInitializerRed: a fully featured version of the app. This is only meant for Nintendo's Research and Engineering Department.
- NandInitializerProduction: an automatic version of the app. Menu selection is disabled and you are limited to the pre-determined test order.
- NandInitializer: a very limited version of the app. You are only able to change HWInfo, and test/cleanup the NAND.

There are no compiled versions of NandInitializer, but the below documents have a photo of the production version running.
