The '''System Menu''' ('''DSi Menu''') is software shipped pre-installed on every DSi which allows the launching of games from official Nintendo certified game carts, "channels", 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 carts can also be hot-swapped while in the menu.

The Nintendo DSi "System Menu" updates are made up of newer components of one or more system titles, as well as a new version of the [[Version Data]] bundle (which contains the user-visible version number).

Unlike on the Wii, where channels could return to the Wii Menu with ES_LaunchTitle(1-2), software never returns to the DSi Menu. Instead, the system reboots to [[boot0]], therefore reloading [[Unlaunch]].

 

When the System Menu loads, it has 3 methods of automatically booting a [[title]] before it loads the main UI.

 

First, the System Menu checks if the title ID at [[OS globals|02ffd204]] is not 0-0, and boots that title if possible. This is presumably how apps like Photo Clock are able to launch titles.

 

 

If the key combination START/L/R (not X/L/R) is held on boot, then the system boots to the [[System Settings]] screen to calibrate the touch screen.
