DiagnoSe homebrew app from Spinal - Image 1

Spinal, who won this year's NeoFlash Spring coding competition for his Sensitive DS homebrew game, has released the first version of his homebrew app, DiagnoSe. As implied by the name of the homebrew, it allows you to diagnose your DS system on its many functions. The cool thing about it is that the interface actually mimics that of the Wii menu channels.

With your stylus, you can click on each "DS Channel" to test your DS hardware. Now although there isn't any readme, the application works quite simply. If you can't tell from the icon of each DS Channel, here's the list functions from top left to bottom right and what they specifically do:

Test Buttons
Test Stylus
Test Wifi
Boot GBA
Test Microphone
Test Speakers
Fix stuck pixels
Test screen lights
Test motion card/pak/mk6 motion
Test rumble pak
Test DLDI FAT
Credits

Very useful app, especially those pixel-fixing and microphone-testing features. It suddenly makes me wonder why Nintendo never incorporated these features in the DS menu to begin with. Yeah, you can calibrate your stylus on the menu, but thanks to this homebrew, you can do a lot more than that. By the by. Those two blue buttons at the bottom allow you to go back to the main menu and turn off your system.

I never really tested the pixel fixer, i never had a stuck pixel to test it on. I wouldn't have guessed it'd be better than any other pixel fixers, but I seem to be getting a lot of reports of it working.

Thanks again.
