When you do this, DevMenu itself gets deleted. To revert to the original state, run SystemUpdater.
In this mode, press the A Button to launch a program, and the X Button to delete a program.
While holding the L and R Buttons, press the X Button to delete all programs that are currently displayed.
The upper screen displays the following items for the program description.

| Media | The media imported from. For CTR applications, this shows "SDMC." For TWL applications, this shows "TWL NAND." |
| Limit | The number of times the application can be launched (only shown for CTR downloaded application demos). Shown as "Number of times application launched / Total number of times application can be launched." Shows "No limit" for applications with no launch limit. |
| Demo Index | The demo index (only shown for CTR downloaded application demos). |
In the case of CTR applications, the unique ID and product code of the title code specified in the RSF file will appear in the screen below.

The CTR browser appears in the list, and can be deleted. Select one of the programs in the list as shown below, and press the X Button to delete it. You cannot remove multiple items by pressing the X Button while holding down both the L Button + R Button.
After you delete an item, reset the debugger or power cycle the system.
If you keep using the system without doing this, the HOME Menu will freeze.

In this mode, you can import CIA files on an SD Card or on a PC by using HostIO into importable media.
Press the A Button, then press the A Button again to confirm that you want to import the program.
The media into which the CIA file is imported is automatically determined from the CIA file information.
While holding the L and R Buttons, press the A Button to import all CIA files in the current directory.
If an error occurs while importing all files, any files not yet imported at the time of the error will not be imported.
If using HostIO, you must set the environment variable DEVMENU_ROOT on the PC and specify the directory to use for import.
Then, you must start HIO-Daemon.
If you are using development hardware, you can import from a PC using PARTNER-CTR UIC-MIDI.
Note, however, that import takes approximately 1.5x as long when using UIC-MIDI, because the speed of HostIO is slower compared to PARTNER-CTR.
You can re-open a currently open folder using the START Button.
You can delete CIA files using the X Button.
Press the X Button while holding down the L and R Buttons to remove all CIA files in the current directory.
Press the A Button while holding down the X Button to remove CIA files after importing them.
Press the A Button while holding down the L/R/X Buttons to remove all CIA files after importing all CIA files in the current directory.
Save data is retained if you re-import a program that has already been imported.
However, if the application being imported has a differently sized save data region than the application being overwritten, then the entire contents of the save data region are cleared. If you need to clear the save data, delete the imported program in program list mode before importing it again.
If you attempt to import a file that is identical to a program that was previously imported, the following message will appear, and the import will be canceled.
Program already exists. Import canceled.
If the SD Card is write-protected by the LOCK switch, then the following message will appear, and file operations will be disabled. Make the SD Card writeable and try again.
SD Card is write protected.
After attempting to import a corrupted CIA file, import is not performed and instead a message similar to the following is displayed.
Check that the CIA file was created correctly.
This cia is invalid.
In this mode, you can display and delete expanded save data. You can only delete expanded save data on a per-ID basis. To delete, select the ID of the directory with data you want to delete, and press the X Button.
The HOME Menu uses the expanded save data "00000000 00000082."
Because the HOME Menu mounts this expanded save data, you cannot delete it if DevMenu is running from the HOME Menu.
If you need to delete this expanded save data, run DevMenu from TestMenu.
The Free Space field in the upper screen shows the free space for the SD Card and the system's NAND memory. The top row shows the size in bytes, and the bottom row shows the block size, the number of free 128-KB blocks. The block size is used by the Nintendo eShop and the System Settings.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| SD | The free space on the SD Card to which the CTR application is imported. |
| TWL | The free space in the system NAND memory to which to TWL application is imported. |
