Machine Settings

The majority of this information comes from TCRF, linked here. Go check them out, they're an amazing resource.

MachineSettings is a prototype version of the SystemSettings. It can be found installed or deleted in prototypes, development units, and in some retail NANDs, and there is source code for it in TwlIPL (gigaleaks). MachineSettings is missing some features present in the release version such as data management, internet, and system updates.

These prototypes have graphical bugs where the screens may flicker or cut off text. This is normal. See the screenshots section for examples.

Global controls: L/R to change brightness, and START to reboot.

Version 1025-5199

This version of MachineSettings is currently the earliest known build, and is from TwlIPL (system.srl).

USER INFORMATION	Change username, birthday, color, and message.
TOUCH PANEL	Calibrate the touch screen.
COUNTRY	Change the console's country (note: this is not region changing).
PARENTAL CONTROL	Age restrict and pin lock software. This setting is missing page 3, and you can only select the ESRB for organization.

Version 1542-6291

1542-6291 was recovered from the TWL-CPU-X4 prototype. This is the least complete build and only comes with the following settings:

Option	Purpose

Version 2725-9336

TAD files for this version were embedded in object files from TwlIPL (HNBA.o). This is present in every TwlIPL branch and tag past 2009/04/01.

Interestingly 2725-9336 comes in two versions. One is a development encrypted TAD, and the other is a retail encrypted TAD (this works on retail consoles with TwlNmenu). The development version is very limited with only 5 options, while the retail version has all options present:
