System Menu

The System Menu is software pre-installed on every DSi which allows the launching of games from official Nintendo certified game cards, DSi application, or DSiWare titles. It runs a GUI similar to the Wii's "Wii Menu". The DSi runs in permission modes similar to the Wii, where running in backwards compatibility mode turns off extra hardware and down-clocks the CPU. Using the power button you can soft reset to return to the menu while in game (or in a DSi application), similar to the "Home Menu" on the Wii. Game cards can also be hot-swapped while in the menu.[1]

The DSi applications which comes pre-installed in the system are:

  • Nintendo DSi Camera
  • Nintendo DSi Sound
  • Nintendo DSi Shop
  • DS Download Play
  • PictoChat
