This dongle is a BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is an archaic computer language originally designed for simplicity for home users with personal computers. In the early days of PCs, computers would boot into a BASIC terminal, and from there you would conduct your business. There were many flavors of BASIC, including IBM Basic, Atari BASIC, and Famicom Basic (though this form of BASIC was never available for the Nintendo outside of Japan).
