Homebrew flash cartridges designed for previous DS models are incompatible with the DSi, [12] but new cards capable of running DS software (or even DSiWare) on a DSi were available. [13] While users cannot transfer purchased DSiWare on Nintendo DSi consoles between units, most DSiWare can be transferred to a Nintendo 3DS, although not saved data.
