− | The System Menu is software shipped pre-installed on every DSi which allows the launching of games from an official Nintendo certified game carts, "channels" and DSiWare titles. It runs a GUI similar to the Wii's "Wii Menu". | + | [[Image:Dsisystemmenu.png|thumb|right|223px|The DSi System Menu with a title inserted.]] |
− | The DSi runs in certain permission modes similar to the Wii, where by 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.
| + | 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. |
− | Game carts can also hot-swapped while in the menu.
