This document gives information about Nintendo 3DS demos (standalone RID demos,

Standalone RID demos can be provided in the Americas, Europe, Australia, Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
Networked RID demos can be provided in Japan and the Americas.
Downloadable demos are provided in regions in which Nintendo eShop or Nintendo Zone is available.
This package describes demos for the Japanese/Americas/European/Australian/Korean/Taiwanese/Hong Kong markets.
When creating a demo, check these Nintendo 3DS Demo Creation Procedures as well as the Nintendo 3DS Guidelines.

- Networked RID demos
When the "XML file output" button in the demo ROM information file is pressed, a check for errors in the entered content is performed before the file is exported.
An error message is displayed when there is a problem with an entered item. Some error messages are for handling at Nintendo (「"データ”の入力がありません。」(jp), "'Data' has not been entered." (en), etc.).
These errors do not normally occur, but when they do, try things such as closing the file and running it again.
Contact Nintendo support if you are still unable to resolve the problem.
- Regarding downloadable demos distributed via Nintendo eShop
For “Activity Log” and “friend list”, which reference icon images, publisher names, and title names, the latest version of the SystemUpdater (created for use with 2ndNUP) must be applied to CTR development units.
If you want to check on previous versions of the HOME Menu, create the ROM as a full version instead of a demo version and then check on the HOME Menu.
