There is some confusion around HiyaCFW, RocketLauncher and @CatmanFan didn't claflied that on his thread neither TWL folks didn't made something similar to this, so I will go ahead and try to clarify everything on this thread.
"What is RocketLauncher?"
Is an exploit found by @Apache Thunder in the DSi Whitelist which gains full control over the console (arm7 SCFG unlock).
"What can I do with RocketLauncher?"
With RocketLauncher you can:
- You can do cartinit so you can run things such NTR Launcher and Nitrohax (I will not explain those, google is your friend).
- You can run an improved version of @ahezard's nds-bootstrap which will bring you better sound on retail game roms, run older homebrews such NeoDS, SnemulDS and you will be able to run @Gericom"s GBARunner2 to play GBA games natively, everything off DSi's SD card.
- If you own a AK2i, you will be able to coldboot homebrew with arm7 SCFG unlocked.
- You will be able to patch the DSi's Launcher to run a customized DSi Menu, that means HiyaCFW.
"What is HiyaCFW?"
Is the first DSi CFW ever, actually is a homebrew that patches the DSi Launcher, but I will not bring that "custom firmware vs patched firmware" thing, it basically acts like a CFW and needs RocketLauncher in order to work.
"What can I do with HiyaCFW?"
HiyaCFW has RSA patches that allows you to install and run custom titles from DSi Menu, it has Region Unlocking and gives you a redirected decrypted nand to the SD, that means that it does not use a secret partition in your SD (in counterpart of 3DS's emunand) and uses a certain folder on your SD which you can mess with it even in PC with a file explorer.
"Oh, great!!! How can I install it?"
You can't since neither of both are released, but what you need in order to install it is:
- Have version 1.4 on your DSi (since in that firmware the DSi Whitelist isn't RSA checked).
- You need DSiWareHax, I recommand you to install both Sudokuhax and lastest 4swordshax.
- A modified Whitelist (details will come later.
- A NTR Card such SM64DS or an AK2i.
"Yay, free DS games on DSi Menu!!!"
Calm down your hype, you will be able to install (custom)DSiWare titles indeed, but you will still need SRLoader to run retail DS game roms, your best bet is get forwarders for nds-bootstrap, but not recommended due the DSi Menu has 39 titles limit.
"Zrloaider iz ai pezki ds emeleter, it laks ant haz a bat compativilyti, I guand to conberd ds rams to cia ant inztal then to mai dsi mini"
Go home kiddo, you are drunk.
"I am on lastest firmware and don't have any exploitable game
"
Don't worry, if you have Flipnote Studio preinstalled you will be able to run ugopwn to downgrade to 1.4 and install EA's Sudoku and Four Swords with hax.
I will edit this post to add futher details later
