.DSI File Extension

File created by DAZ Studio, a program used for 3D character modeling; stores multiple image layers as a material file that can be applied to 3D objects; allows the source images (e.g., .PNG or .JPG) to be combined while allowing each image to remain unmodified from its original state.

A DSI file is an official Nintendo DSi game ROM issued by Nintendo. It contains a game downloaded from the Nintendo DSi Shop. DSI files can be used to play games on the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS, as well as in Nintendo DSi and 3DS emulators.

The Nintendo DSi was the successor to the Nintendo DS and the predecessor to the Nintendo 3DS. The DSi and the 3DS allowed gamers to download a collection of games, commonly referred to as DSiWare, from the Nintendo DSi Shop and eShop. DSiWare games were saved in DSI files.

In addition to allowing players to play downloaded games on their Nintendo devices, DSI files can be used to create unofficial ROMs that PC-based DSi and 3DS emulators, such as Citra, can open. To create an emulator-compatible ROM from a DSI file, gamers can use GodMode9 (Nintendo 3DS) or GodMode9i (Nintendo DSi).

You can use GodMode9 (Nintendo 3DS) or GodMode9i (Nintendo DSi) to transform a DSI file into a Citra-compatible ROM. Then, you can use your new ROM to play the game your DSI file contains in Citra (cross-platform).

3D image file created by Fryrender, a physics-based light simulator application used for photo-realistic rendering; stores a spectral map, which stores the radiances captured by the camera; used in the process of rendering the final lighting effects onto an image.

DSI files are generated from a source .FRY scene file.
