Homebrew Hiya CFW : some questions after installing

[KoopaMaster]

Hi , I bought a second hand DSI , with Flipnote Studio .

This is i have :
Nintendo DSI 1.4.5 E.
( I installed Dsiware using Twlnf ( direct mounting on the NAND ).
I want install Hiya CFW , and Twilight Menu ++ , but i have some questions :

1 - Does original cartridges work with it ? ( and , if yes , it doesnt corrupt the game for other non-Hiya DS )
2 - Can i uninstall it if i want ?
3 - Does i can receive Ds Download Play ?
4 - How many blocks it take ? ( i have 310 now ,and 84 mb ) .
5 - Is it safe ( doesnt corrupt the nand , doesnt brick the ds , doesnt block the system ).
6 - Is OSFmount obligatory ? : if i follow this guide https://dsi.cfw.guide/installing-hiyacfw ; because it is never mentionned in steps .

Thank you very much for yours responses

Hello.

1.No problem.Gamecartriges save on the Module not on SD Card.
2.In theory anytime.
5.There is an 0,0000000000001 % chance that something go wrong.In fact its safe.
(the 0,0000000000001 % if your battery runs dry and you have no power adapter nearby...) and please don´t turn the DSi off while installing.And there is an simple brick protection with UNLAUNCH.
6.There are some reports here that some users have problems with it.For me i can say it works perfect.

You mean that OsfMount is useless ?

 

[Alexander1970]

NO.

It works perfectly.

I said SOME USERS have problems.Why and what i can´t tell,mostly of no reply or feedback.

 

[KoopaMaster]

Okay , fine.
İ need just replies on other questions.
Thanks.

Hello.

4.None.TWiLight is installed on an SD Card.The CFW as it say is an CustomFirmWare.Has nothing to do with your intern memory.

3.For what i know yes it´s there and works on both of my CFW DSis.
EDIT: confirm it works,tested it with New Super Mario DS/Mario Kart DS/Tetris DS/Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2.

For your understanding.

The CFW is only there to get access on the SD Card for homebrew software (TWiLight Menu in your case).
The Menu itself,bootstrap etc. runs from SD Card,NOTHING else on your DSi will change.The only way to brick your DSi is what i´ve writing above under point 5.

Does original cartridges work with it ?

Yep.

( and , if yes , it doesnt corrupt the game for other non-Hiya DS )

They do not corrupt.

Can i uninstall it if i want ?

Yes, but why would you want to? You wouldn't gain anything by doing that.

Does i can receive Ds Download Play ?

Yep.

How many blocks it take ? ( i have 310 now ,and 84 mb ) .

I don't know the exact number, but it certainly isn't 310 blocks. It's probably more like 1 or 2.

Is it safe ( doesnt corrupt the nand , doesnt brick the ds , doesnt block the system ).

Yep.

Is OSFmount obligatory ? : if i follow this guide https://dsi.cfw.guide/installing-hiyacfw

You can see that it is not mentionned in other steps , i thought that it was useless.

Last question : does sound works with HiyaCFW ?

 

[KoopaMaster]

And does an incompatible game works if it is a real cartridge ?
Because i have a Astro Boy cartridge , and i dont want lose it ...

 

[Alexander1970]

Hello my little Koopafellow.

YES sound works on games i think you want to know.
YES,Cartriges/original DS/DSi Games works as usual.

 

[SCOTT0852]

does sound works with HiyaCFW ?

Yep.

And does an incompatible game works if it is a real cartridge ?

As long as you run it through the original DSi Menu, which requires a 2gb or less SD card. TWiLightMenu++ is unable to launch TWL carts, which are the only region-locked games.
