Hacking want to upgrade DSi to 1.4.3 for a DSTTi

[kains_shadow]

As far i have read and understad, there is a kernel update for DSTTi which enables it to run on DSi 1.4.3

I hadn't upgraded the DSi but i want to be sure before doing it. by the way i use an oriinal DSTTi (pased anticopy check and all those stuffs) so anyone could explain me how i do the upgrade because i read on some webs that it only works on certians firmwares (or kernels?) and it's not too documentated as far i had investigated.

so my questions are:
1- what i do need to do for DSTTi kernel to run on a DSi 1.4.3?
2- if i need a firmware for it to work which is? and... it gives good compatiblity to games?

links for the files of kernel and firmware could be nice too.

You can only update using the official kernel hosted on dstt's official website (meaning that you can't update using YSmenu or any unofficial firmware).

I really haven't kept up with the dstt's updates (since I use all of my flashcarts, including my dstti, on my ds phat, which can't block flashcarts like dsi/3ds), so I can't help much on that. As far as I know, it's an unofficial release that has a high brick rate, so I wouldn't recklessly try it.

oficial kernel are outdated (and discontinued) but i read about this "unoficial update"

http://filetrip.net/f26308-DSTTi-Unofficial-Kernel-Ver1-18-0-Rev199-english-version-Ver1-18-0-Rev199.html

but afther reading in other sites i'm not sure about if this is a kernel update or a firmware update.

That is an unofficial firmware (like YSmenu). I downloaded/checked the files, and it's just the firmware, not the bootloader update (which would be the file you want, in order to update your dstti to work on a dsi/3ds fw). You're way better off using RetroGameFan's files, if you want the highest compatibility using a dstt.

EDIT: I mentioned the official kernel (from the official website), since that is the file you need for the bootloader updater to work. It will not work on any unofficial firmware.

Tried to make the ting work... and i think i ended whit a DSTTi brik.... ..... ..... nice.... sarcasm/

Let me guess, you shut the DS off while it was updating?

 

[kains_shadow]

After starting the update it stuck at 00.78% and i leave it there for about an hour... so yes... i shut it down afther it bored me the 00.78% screen....

Anyway i think i should say good bye to my DSTTi and think in getting another... so thanks everyone.

You DSTTi was not an original i think...

Next time, forget all shop who give files to upgrade or to obtain new kernel
you can find everything on gbatemp thread!

First go there -> http://gbatemp.net/t...3ds21-firmware/
After that you can take the files from the thread of RGF, everything will be in it
