The Nintendo DSi was the first DS model with a built-in 3.5mm stereo headphone jack — the original DS and DS Lite required a proprietary adapter instead. It plays DS cartridges and DSiWare downloads, with an SD card slot for photos, music, and software. Charging relies on Nintendo's proprietary barrel connector rather than USB, so you need the matching DSi/3DS-family AC adapter. Two cameras and DSiWare were the headline additions over the DS Lite.

Notes & Compatibility
The only cable port is the 3.5mm headphone jack (a DSi first — the DS and DS Lite lacked a built-in jack). Charging uses Nintendo’s proprietary DC adapter (not listed in the port table); the DS game card slot and SD card slot are media slots.
