Using Downloaded Software
Downloaded software, other than DSiWare (see page 3), is saved on SD Cards. The icons for downloadable software that has been
saved are displayed on the HOME Menu.
NOTE: Software downloaded from Nintendo eShop is licensed to you, not sold. For more information, see the Nintendo 3DS Service
User Agreement by going to Other Information in System Settings (see page 43).
Where can I nd downloadable software?
• You can download Nintendo 3DS software from Nintendo eShop.
NOTE: Wireless broadband Internet access is required for online features. See page 44 for more information on setting up
an Internet connection.
• Free software may be distributed via SpotPass.
• Downloadable demo software may be available from Nintendo Zone locations.
Downloading and saving software
• Because software can also be distributed via SpotPass, it is recommended that you always have an SD Card in the SD
Card slot.
• You can save up to 40 DSiWare titles in the System Memory and up to 300 other downloaded software titles on an SD
Card. (This number will depend on the data size of the software title and the capacity of the SD Card you are using.)
• Downloadable software can only be used on the system where it was downloaded and is not transferable. You cannot
use the software on another system by inserting the SD Card into another system.
• Some demo software may have restrictions on the number of times it can be started or the amount of time it can be
played. A message is displayed when you start software that has exceeded either of these restrictions. If you follow the
on-screen instructions, you can delete the software or return to Nintendo eShop.
