Homebrew Memory Pit - A new DSi exploit for DSi camera!

[lAkdaOpeKA]

Memory Pit is a new DSi exploit in the DSi camera!
Using it is very simple:
1) Download the attached file and put it in sd:/private/ds/app/484E494A
2) Put the hbmenu.nds file on the root named boot.nds (can't be unlaunch, it won't work. Unlaunch can be booted via hbmenu however)
3) open DSi camera, tap SD card at the top, and tap album
4) Done!

Enjoy modding your DSi!

Holy crap the hype is real!!
Looking forward for a technical explaination (although I'm sure I won't understand anything )

I apologize for the dumb noob question: what will this exploit allow me to do that I can’t do with my DSTwo?

The DStwo doesn't run in DSi mode; that means no DSi physical games (nothing practically runs them yet, however), mostly no commercial DSiWare, and no DSi homebrew
A modded DSi (regardless of the initial entrypoint you use - MemoryPit, flipnote-lenny, ugopwn, hardmod, ...) is an excellent option for the latter two

Hello.

google.com

Hello.

google.com

I looked already but I only found a file named "
hbmenu-0.7.1.tar.bz2"

I opened it but it didn't had any file named hbmenu.nds?

Am I missing something?

Cool, this will be handy for a DSi i'm currently refurbishing.

It's boot.nds

Doesn't work for me on 1.4.3E
It freezes on the album screen and I have to hold the power button for 5 seconds

Thanks for the response!

Are there any good DSi home brews?

What format are commercial DSiWare? Are those also .nds? Can you just launch them from HBM?

Try updating, there's no point on staying on an older firmware

Can I use my 1.4.3 flashcart on 1.4.5 if this works and I install CFW?

 

[KlariNoX]

It's boot.nds

Wow, im such an idiot lol. Thanks though, I got it to work

Thats maybe an reason not to update.

What card do you have?

 

[soratheultima]

Would it be possible to region change a dsi through this?

 

[lAkdaOpeKA]

There's no point in doing that, iirc HiyaCFW unlaunch enables region free

I have a 1.4.5 DSi and I know that this card doesn't work on it

I don't really know of any - there certainly are dual-mode homebrews with actual benefits (like certain emulators) as well as system tools that only really make sense on DSi (Unlaunch, Hiya, JeffRulz's title installer, nds-bootstrap) but nothing that screams, even by 2009 standards, BUY A DSi NOW (that would be the select+volume brightness adjustment at any time )

What format are commercial DSiWare? Are those also .nds? Can you just launch them from HBM?

I doubt the HBMenu supports them, but (Unlaunch/the official DSi Menu/twilightmenu++ acting in this case as a frontend unlaunch) do!

.nds, .srl (official extension, also used for GBA), .dsi, .app (depending on context) all are "acceptable" extensions for a DSi application
(they of course are just three letters at the end of a filename with no intrinsic effect)
The actual DSi file format is an extension of the DS one (both documented in "gbatek" if you'd like to learn the technical differences)
