Want to download a mysterious update for your DSi? It's completely free, and we can't tell you what it does. I guess it can't be that important, since Nintendo hasn't made mention of the download! If anyone can figure out what this update does, please shoot me an email! Thanks to MrModestGreen for the heads up!

~~I have confirmed this, because I am downloading it now!~~

I can confirm this update definitely does exist. It's not a required update so you have to goto the update option in the firmware settings menu. My flashcarts still work, so it was probably just a minor bug fix or something.
Apparently it gives you access to some DSiWare updates and increases the speed of the DSi Shop.

Original thread.

By the way, Tempbot's report is messed up. This is the proper thread!

I added that.

EDIT: The person that said that didn't have the latest version.

Here 'tis.

Wonder what it does...

macgeek417 · Feb 7, 2010

Backdoor to detect flashcarts and sue you?
Auto-updater?

I dunno if it matters, but I tried connecting to the shop and got an error. The next time it worked fine though, even before I updated. Probeby just my slow connection.

Oh, and maybe at a certain date it will brick flashcarts or block them or something? Time-bomb for flashcarts?
:/

You wish.

I wouldn't put it past Ninty. They're evil like that.

I love this explanation! Can I use it in the first post?

It updated for me too 0.0

I wonder if nintendo just accidentally made it seems like there was a new update for DSi's when it was actually the plain old 1.4.

rockstar99 · Feb 7, 2010

Just updated for the heck of it and as expected... same old 1.4

I think update 1.5 is just around the corner.

DeltaBurnt · Feb 7, 2010

But there's alot of weird DSiWare updates all of the sudden! Like a WarioWare Snapped update!

rockstar99 · Feb 7, 2010

I updated wario ware snapped and brain age and theres nothing new on mine

Back then, everyone though those threads were fake because: it gives you that screen every time, even if there's no update out there.

Maybe it is a time bomb.

Everyone think it's an harmless update so everyone do the update...

Then 5 days after, version number change to 1.5 and every flashcarts are blocked.

Mysterious DSi update available!
