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.

Partition it to 2GB

Partition it to 2GB

is this a hardware limitation or is it something that will eventually be fixed? i honestly dont want to go through the process of backing up everything, then formating, then putting those files back in, then do the whole process

It's a limitation by Launcher (aka DSi Menu), though one can get around that limitation by using this.

So now I'm just stuck at the HiyaCFW splash screen. It won't go past it whatsoever, it just stays frozen on the splash. If I disable the splash screen, it freezes on a white screen. I know for a fact all the files are in the right places...

Do you have "Bootloader.nds" on the SD root?

 

[PrincessLillie]

Do you have "Bootloader.nds" on the SD root?

No, I don't. In fact, the guide doesn't say anything about bootloader.nds.

 

[RocketRobz]

No, I don't. In fact, the guide doesn't say anything about bootloader.nds.

What guide did you follow?

That wasn't there yesterday...
Well, anyways, I just moved the bootloader onto the root of the SD Card, and now I'm stuck in a boot loop. It loops between the Unlaunch screen and the splash screen and that's it.

Overwrite Launcher's .tmd in SDNAND, with the one from "HiyaCFW.7z".

But I did that, I know I did

Try again.
Make sure the bootloader is patched.

Alright, it worked this time!
I'll continue with the guide.
