Hardware Something I was Curious About... does the 3DS’s OS have an internal name?

Kind of like how the Wii had IOS, the Wii U and CafeOS (as well as IOSU for the ARM CPU), and the Switch with Horizon. Does the 3DS operating system have any proper internal names beyond the title of the native_firm file?

It's called Horizon OS just like the Switch one. The Switch one is actually a rewritten version of the 3DS one.

Ah okay, so the 3DS’s OS is Horizon too, cool. Thanks for the interesting read!
