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.

there are only like 5 good dsiware titles though

>Only 5 good titles
I honestly think there are at least a few more than 5 dsiware titles(both games and apps) that are above mediocre/plain playable in quality.

Heck yeah! Couldn't wait for this any more. Now to install it when I get home.

@Robz8 what size should the splashtop.bmp be for the custom splash?

DS screen size: 256x192

 

[wicksand420]

Awesome! That worked. For those who couldn't get it to work here is a sample

 

[Localhorst86]

I tried buying a DSi near me but it cost more than a used 2ds so no thank you.

I bought mine on ebay. $20 "buy now" in good condition and even came with a carrying case. You just have to be patient.

Can we run DS games without flashcard with this?

Can we run DS games without flashcard with this?

yes, follow dsi.cfw.guide and it will take you through to installing srloader

We can already do that with SRLoader, which can be ran in HiyaCFW.

 

[Deleted member 424658]

Your section on using SRLoader is outdated actually. It references pressing UP/DOWN to switch between GB/NES/NDS roms which was removed to give SRLoader a file browser GUI.

HiyaCFW v1.2

What's new?/Bug fix

• Soft-resetting into titles now work (again)!
  You are no longer back into HOME Menu when trying to soft-reset into DSiWare titles (ex. L+R+START+SELECT in WarioWare Touched and Advance Wars: Days of Ruin/Dark conflict, DSiWare versions).

Files changed

• "bootcode.dsi"
• Bootloader: Includes .ips patch to update "bootloader.nds", if you already have the .nds file.

ok this looks awsome, ive been checking dsi hacks for a while

Quick question though, because the DSI store is dead, how do you perform this on a empty dsi if it needs a title in data management?

Hello, HiyaCFW can be used on a 16gb Kingston Ultra SDHC Card?

If it's formatted with SDFormatter with the "Full (Erase)" option, then yes.
Do that, or just partition it to 2GB.

This certainly needs 2gb in partition or less. Tried it with my 4gb sd card and it doesn't work. Tried it on 2gb sd card and it works. I haven't tried partitioning though as I have a spare 2gb sd card. I just have to transfer the files.

You just need to format a 4GB+ using this tool, https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ , format your SD to FAT32 and use the Full Format option. Success varies with every SD card but all sizes should work, I've had several 4GB and 8 GB cards work.

 

[wicksand420]

yep, I have a 8GB SanDisk SD that is working good
