18. Appendix: Important Notes on 3DS Application Development Using the IS-SNAKE DevKit

Although the IS-SNAKE DevKit is a tool for developing SNAKE applications, it can also be used for developing standard applications for CTR.

As noted in 4.2. Standard and Extended Applications, standard applications run in standard mode for both CTR and SNAKE. However, when extended applications are run on CTR and SNAKE, the CPU's running speed and usable memory size are different. Extended applications are normally run in extended mode in the IS-SNAKE DevKit, but by using forced CTR-compatibility mode, you can test in standard mode even for extended applications.

However, as shown in the table in 17. Appendix: Testing the Operations of Standard Applications on SNAKE, operations in the IS-SNAKE DevKit may differ from behavior on CTR because some of the specifications are incompatible. For both standard applications and extended applications, always perform testing in the CTR environment.

Notes:

For more information about forced CTR-compatibility mode, see IS-CTR-DEBUGGER Help.
