{{Clean_Up}}


The "Operating System" is software shipped pre-installed into every DSi which allows the launching of games from an officially Nintendo certified game card, launching of Nintendo Certified "channels" and DSiWare titles. It run a similar GUI like the Wii.
A '''system update''' is a set of titles updated in one burst. Unlike on the Wii, DSi system updates include a new version of the [[Version Data]] bundle (which contains the user-visible version number), preventing updates from not changing the version number if they leave the [[System Menu]] unchanged.


The DSi runs in certain permission modes similar to the Wii where running backwards compatibility games turns off the extra hardware and clocks down the CPU.
