Here it is, the first DSi CFW!

Video by Alex S (with TWiLight Menu++ (previously known as DSiMenu++ and SRLoader) installed):


Video by @Apache Thunder (When RocketLauncher was planned for a release. With WarioWare Touched (DSiWare version) installed.):


(NOTE: Since hiyaCFW has been released a few days ago (as of posting this), and no official thread has been made, I decided to go and make it, despite not making the actual patches for it. )

With this CFW, you can run custom DSiWare, alongside region free and 3DS-exclusive DSiWare (WarioWare Touched), on your SD card, via NAND to SD redirection!
You can also run blocked flashcards (such as R4 Ultra).

FAQs
Q: Can I use a custom splash for hiyaCFW?
A: Yes you can. Place it at "sd:/hiya/" and name them "splashtop.bmp" and "splashbottom.bmp". Make sure they're actually saved as .bmp files, with the size of 256x192, with no color space info, and is 16-bit (A1 R5 G5 B5, or X1 R5 G5 B5). .gif files will also work instead of .bmp files.

I have Mario Calculator (USA) and it can be opened, but Flipnote Studio (USA) can't be opened in Hiyacfw even though it's the same region, why?

Your ROM might possibly be corrupted. Try creating a forwarder for it instead of installing the ROM itself to hiya.

I think i got a really old version of HiyaCFW, I ra-ran Hiya Helper V3.6.10, it says browse for NAND File with No&GBA Golder

What folder do I browse to? Here is what my root of my SD Card looks like. I just updated Twilight++ and I got unluanch 2.0 still

Then once that is done, how do I update it? And how do I confirm I got newest HiyaCFW? And is Unlaunch 2.0 the newest still?

When using hiyaCFW Helper, open the NAND .bin file. Whether it has the NO$GBA footer depends on what you last used to backup your NAND.
When it tells you to select a folder, select the SD of which you use hiyaCFW on.
Also, to confirm the version you're using, hold the SELECT button when turning on the console. And yes, Unlaunch 2.0 is still the latest.

I open the NAND.bin file from my sd card?

So i launch the app on the computer, and browse to the root of SD? Or NAND.bin file on my sd card?

And the original backup of my NAND (before modding) is on saved on an external location, not my sd card. So on hiya fw helper. I choose that? I’m kind of confused. Sorry

I open the NAND.bin file from my sd card

Wherever you placed it should work.

Browse to the SD root.

 

[haddad]

Wherever you placed it should work.

Browse to the SD root.

when I browse for the NAND.bin (first step), do I browse to the current on on my SD Card? Or the backup NAND I Made before modding a couple years ago (in my external location?

And this will update hiyaCFW? How will I know i got the new version?

The current one should work fine.

Yes, it will update hiyaCFW. To know that you got it, I already told you earlier on how to check it.

So I browsed to the .NAND BAckup I made, then browse to root of SD Card, and now I am stuck here? What do I do?

Ensure the SD write-lock switch isn't set. If it still gets stuck, please post a photo of the console window behind the "Status" window.

Delete the "hiya" folder, and then try again.

I'd say "Like I said, the top of the top screen", but unfortunately, there's a bug which prevents it from showing.
With the addition of the region setting, you are indeed using the latest.

v1.5.1

Bug fix​

• Changing the region on a JPN NAND will no longer cause touch input to not work!
  • This is achieved by clearing the TWLCFG files, which as a result, will cause the system settings to reset.
  • If the issue is still occurring, change the region to a different one, save, reboot, and then switch back.
