Acedia 64 system software

The Acedia 64 system software is the official firmware version and operating system for Acedia's Acedia 64 game console. Acedia maintains the Acedia 64's systemwide features and applications by offering system software updates via the Internet. Updates are optional to each console owner, but may be required in order to retain interoperability with Nintendo's online services. Each update is cumulative, including all changes from previous updates.

The system's official integrated development environment, named MULTI and published by embedded software engineering vendor Green Hills Software, is intended for use by Acedia and its licensed developers in programming the Acedia 64. Details of the operating system's internal architecture have not been officially publicized.

Acedia Menu
The Acedia 64 Menu is the main dashboard of the system, acting as an application organizer and launcher. It is a graphical shell similar to the Wii U's "Wii U Menu" and Nintendo 3DS HOME Menu. It allows launching software stored on internal memory or an external storage device. The Acedia 64 Menu may also be used to launch applications entirely beyond just gaming: the Game Wall social network which is integrated with all games and applications; the Internet Browser for the World Wide Web; play media through Netflix, Amazon Video, Hulu, YouTube, and more; download Wii U software and content through the Acedia Store; and receive official notifications from Acedia. System settings, parental controls and the activity log can also be launched through the menu.

Home menu
The Home Menu (stylized as HOME Menu) can be accessed during any game or application through the user pressing the Home Button on the Acedia Gamepad. The Home Menu allows the user to launch certain multitasking applications, such as Game Wall, Acedia Store and the Internet Browser while a game or application is running. It also displays various information such as date and time, the wireless signal status, controller battery life and controller settings. Current downloads can also be managed in the Download Manager, which downloads and installs games and applications and their respective updates, as well as downloading system updates in the background.
