Homebrew Memory Pit - A new DSi exploit for DSi camera!

kevinrodolfoxD3 · May 28, 2019

Thanks for this! I was finally able to hack my sister's dsi that doesn't have Flipnote Studio, and i can confirm: The exploit only works with the latest version, i tried on 1.4U and it didn't work until i updated the console.

So wish I didn't sell that DSi in 8th grade, would be fun to play with now

I read through all 6 pages of this thread and I don't see a complete guide to hack from stock to playing backups. Is there a complete tutorial somewhere for this hack? I just bought a Dsi XL so I'm not sure how to began.

First thing to do is to update the system if it isn't already (1.4.5 is the latest with a letter added for the region), second thing is to open the camera app and complete the tutorial if it hasn't been done.
Then you can follow the steps in the guide here https://dsi.cfw.guide

Oh and if you are on windows install/update 7-zip

Thanks much. I was just reading through that guide, but I don't see how and where to put your backups to load.

Once you complete the install process including twilightmenu++ you'll have a roms folder with subdirectories for various platforms

I see. Thanks for info.

Now where did I leave that little DSi?...

Question so nobody else asks: How does this work? What type of exploit?

AFAIK the DSi doesn't have the concept of kernel and userland, there's just the separation between ARM9 and ARM7 (the latter being the security CPU). You could try running the exploit and booting TWiLightMenu++

There's got to be some sort of distinction, since the TWiLightMenu++ thread says that without HiyaCFW, "you won't be able to play DS ROMs, and only GB(C), NES, and DS homebrew can be ran". So my question is, would this vulnerability be any different?

VinsCool · May 28, 2019

Very impressive! Never thought this would be possible, I'm glad to be proven wrong!

MaxiBash · May 28, 2019

It has been confirmed that the exploit does not work on v1.4.3X. It either goes to the Album or it freezes. So some extra work needs to be done.

Didn't read that part, so no, this isn't any different, you need HiyaCFW with this too

Or just... update your console?
I mean, there are literally zero reasons to not update your DSi at this point, especially if you do so to install CFW (unless you want to stay on a lower firmware just for the sake of it, which is not a good excuse imo), and supporting older firmware versions almost nobody uses just makes the job harder for everyone

Well, it’s a bunch of DSi’s and devunits with v1.2, v1.4, ect that need to be dumped...!
Some of them can’t even be updated and one of them is a rare unit called “v1.4_KST”. You definetly don’t want to update those!

regnad · May 28, 2019

Jeez I'm failing miserably at getting my Japanese DSi to connect to the internet. I'm on 1.4J, which I assume means i have to update.

Can anyone help me? If I choose from the first three slots, when I choose my router it tells me something about security. When I choose the second set, 4-6, whenever I enter my PSK AES key, I get an error message.

Oh, sorry, I forgot about those. I assumed you had an ordinary retail console. Still, due to the rarity of those consoles, I'm not sure if they could be easily supported.

It’s just a fact of changing the version code (it only supports v1024 at the moment and v768 and v256 do not work) in the exploit. I just wish I could do it so Shutterbug doesn’t has to do it.

Considering I'm failing in my attempts to get online to update, do you think 1.4J may be supported in the future?

RostigerNagel · May 28, 2019

What error message do you get?
I would set up an open WiFi for the update process

Do you think it's just that? I think it could also be that offsets are different on older firmware version, and that's what causes the malfunctioning
