Aging Card NTR DS | Nintendo DS Releases | NintendoReporters

 [![Aging Card NTR DS](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/aging-card-ntr-ds.jpeg "Aging Card NTR DS")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/aging-card-ntr-ds.jpeg)The Aging Card NTR is a debug cartridge for testing the Nintendo DS. The menu is dated August 18, 2004, slightly over three months before the system’s launch. The name of the article is based on the cartridge’s label.

A lot of the content in this cart is reused from the appropriate test for the Game Boy Advance. As such, some of the unused content here is in that cart too.

To boot straight into the main test, hold Select at startup or for the menu, hold Start. If you do not hold either of those, you will get an error message.
