Nintendo DSi system software is a set of updatable firmware versions, and a software frontend on the Nintendo DSi video game console. Updates, which are downloaded via the system's Internet connection, allow Nintendo to add and remove features and software.
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
System Update releases
This is a list of features included in Nintendo DSi's System Updates.
