To do this trick just simply take your game cart out while in Pictochat and the screens will turn a particular colour. This is useful for finding out what version your nintendo DS is.
V1:No particular colour appears
V2:Gray-Blue colour screens
V3:Dark﻿ Green colour screens
V4:Golden-Yellow colour screens
V5:Magenta/Pink colour screens [DS lite]
V6:Dark blue colour screens
iQue:Dark green colour screens [Chinese]

I have a regular Nintendo DS, and medium-purple screens. Sorta… this color.

Mine turned out yellow.
Does this actually serve any purpose other than homebrew stuff?

No, I don't think it does but its quite odd why it changes colour nevertheless.

It's useful if you don't know what version your DS is, and you want to find out. I'm actuallly wondering if Nintendo put it in there on purpose, so it would be easy to find out your DS version.
Anyways, I got yellow-gold.

You know, I can't really tell what version my DS is. "Medium purple" isn't on the list.

Still haven't been able to figure out what version my DS it. It's not a DSLite, I know that much.

Well the DS lite firmware got on your normal DS somehow. Manufacturing error?

I dunno. I got my DS before the DSLite was released in my country.

That would be v5. (DSlite firmware was based on v5)

That's FlashMe. It was based on v3, so shows the green colour of v3.
