Games with "DSi Enhanced" functionality are games that take advantage of some aspect of the DSi's hardware while still remaining compatible with the DS Phat/Lite. These games are marked as `TWL` but still say "Nintendo DS" instead of "Nintendo DSi" on the label.

### DSiWare:
DSiWare are digital games and apps which we're downloadable from the DSi Shop, to then launch from the DSi System Menu.
- Examples are:
- Art Style Series
- Flipnote Studio
- G.G Series
- The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords: Anniversary Edition
- Nintendo DSi Browser
- Shantae: Risky's Revenge
- EA's Sudoku
- Most DSiWare titles could also be downloaded via the 3DS eShop.
- DSiWare titles are no longer downloadable, due to both shops being closed.
DSiWare can only be run from the internal system memory, unless when using **TW**i**L**ight Menu++ to launch them from the DSi/3DS SD Card or flashcard.
- By using a flashcard, some DSiWare titles can be run on a DS or DS Lite console.
Every DSiWare/DSi system application (except for the System Menu) disables Slot-1 (aka the DS game card slot) access, preventing access to what's stored on the game card or even the flashcard.
- This means developers could not add support for DS games as a way of accessing hidden features within DSiWare titles.
- This also means homebrew apps (which would be run via exploited DSiWare apps) such as GodMode9**i** cannot dump/extract ROMs from DS game cards, unless when running via Unlaunch.
