Yes. Do this:

Put in a ds cart.
Go to pictochart room A
Take out the cart.
Tell me what color you see.
This will tell me which version you have.

NDS-V2: Both screens will turn Grayish Blue.

NDS-V3: Both screens will turn Dark Green. (see below)

NDS-V4: Both screens will turn Yellow. PassMe 2 needed!

NDS-V5: Both screens will turn Magenta PassMe 2 needed!

NDS-V6: Both screens will turn Blue (more saturated than V2) PassMe 2 needed!

FM-V*: Both screens will turn Dark Green (it's based on V3).

iQue-V1: Both screens will turn Dark Green. PassMe 2 needed!

My screen turned Dark Green. I don't know if I have FlashME, NDS-V3 or iQue firmware installed.

The iQue-V1 DS is recognizable by a iQue sign under the touch-screen and is available only in Asia (China, Singapore and so on) and is using Chinese menus. When you make sure your DS isn't iQue, you're left with the only last test: FlashME or NDS-V3. This is quite simple to find out. Hold A+B+X+Y on startup and if FlashME is installed, both screens will turn white. If not - you most certainly have V3 on your DS unit.

You need PassMe2 ONLY if you have iQue-V1, NDS-V4 or newer installed (although it's compatible with ALL DS firmwares). Otherwise, PassMe will do the job just fine.
