I'm pretty sure you can safely remove/insert games while in the DSi menu.

You could insert or remove your game card while the power is on but only if you are on the DSi menu.

Isn't the general rule for any console/handheld not to insert, replace, or remove games while the power is on?

Not for modern consoles... You can't even insert a PS3 game unless the system is on, lol. While the game is running is a different story.

The reason I asked is because the manual says that it should be off before inserting or removing games.

Thats when you're in the middle of playing a game that they would tell you to do that but like i said before,once you're on the DSi menu,you can remove/insert games.

yes, so long as your at your HOME screen you can pop out and put in new carts with no issues just not while your in a game [edit] for the XL and the 3DS both
