Does anyone know why most of the tests crash? Also, trying to boot it without holding START just gives me a screen telling me to take my battery out. But... You know you can't remove the battery when the system is on. So how did the video in the OP work?

They likely need external hardware or maybe other factory titles we don't have yet. And it's not telling you to take the battery out, it's telling you to take the game card out.

External hardware (in combination with dmnt) sounds more likely than other factory titles for N3DS CTRAging -- it's the only known N3DS factory title so far. The rest of the firmware at the factory must thus at least match the regular TIDhighs.

I have 3 questions about this:
1. Does the 3DS NAND reset after this is run
2. Does the 3DS SD Card end up formatted after this is run
3. Does the app delete itself once it is done (assuming 1 is not true)

Was going through the menus, and noticed that there is an alarm under evaluation menu > mcu > show rtc. Not sure if there is a way to change that though...

You're probably having too high expectations...
That's an "RTC alarm" that generates an interrupt (thus making the cpu pause/exit standby to do something else) at a specific time; it doesn't, by itself, display or sound anything, and may just exist for backwards compatibility (if you want an alarm app, there's indeed "Sleep Clock" for DSi!)

all not.

This can happen only after completing all the tests, which is impossible due to missing hardware/debug titles. You're safe.

So it seems that it places some logs on your SD card that I've been analysing. It also seems to have its own custom directory for its save files in /uji on the SD card (config.sav and testlist.sav). Interestingly enough, I have some timestamps in each of the save files:

config.sav: Jul 17 2014 07:44:46
testlist.sav: Jul 17 2014 07:44:29

My internal clock is correct so I'm not sure what these correlate to. Perhaps a build date? I may also start a TCRF article on this. If someone can provide me a decrypted romfs I'd like to analyse it myself and see what I can mine from the ROM.

config.sav contains all the parameters of the configuration menu; testlist.sav is the sequence of tests to be performed
you should export your production log and give a look at it

Yes,that day is even displayed on the main screen :)

Do you know if it's possible to change the color of the LED without a physical hard mode?
IIRC, something like that is possible on wii
