There is no SysNAND manager tool yet.
Too bad, thank you

I heard about .tia files that can be installed like .cia but on DSi, do you know ?

In DSi menu++ we can't use the screen touch, do you know if in nitrohax when we launch the game using "start" button that launch the game with cheat code ?

I made up .tia, and is now discontinued.

Yes, it launches the game with cheats, if the .xml has cheats for your game.

If you mean in DSiMenu++ itself, then it is unknown, since DSiMenu++ starts with NTR touch mode, in order for touch in DS games to work.
okay and I read above what is the file "bootthis" at the root of the sdcard, why sometime it isn't removed itself and I need to remove it from pc ?

When you launch a DSiWare .nds file, DSiMenu++ moves it to the SD root, and renames it to "bootthis.dsi" for Unlaunch to boot it.
When starting DSiMenu++ again, it moves it back, and renames it back to what it was before.

Yes I know it but sometime this file is still at the root and when I want to launch another dsiware, I get an error (bootthis.dsi is already in the root, or a thing like that) and I need to do the manipulation myself on pc, do you know why ?

Probably fails to rename it to it's prior .nds filename.

Robz8, can you possibly help me out? I followed the dsi.cfw.guide down to every last step and got it all to work, even the “Replacing the System Menu” part due to having a 4gb SD card.

My problem now is that I can’t access stock firmware or stock system settings. I keep getting the black error screen and I’m not sure how to fix it.

Sorry in advance for posting here if there are any help threads, I saw you actively replying here so I figured here would be best.

If you have a dsi just switch it on and press A to boot to stock firmware.

Hey thanks! That worked. One more question while I’m here: after following the guide, what files can I remove that I don’t need? The guide didn’t seem to have a clean up section like the 3DS guide does.

I don't remember me which file is on sd card at the end, post a screen of your sdcard root, maybe I can help you

  • Can I change this horrible pink of the menu (selection) somehow? Is it normal anyway?
  • The boxart option is great, big thanks. Am I right that there'll come support for different kind and size of pictures?

I was just thinking for a few days if there was a way to play DS games directly from the SD card.

Thank you for this amazing resource!
I look forward to see the nexts improvements!

You can either run a cheat code or patch the ROM. Because you're using a ROM, it's probably best that you use WfcPatcher. You will need a WEP or unsecured network connection, though. A phone hotspot should work too. If you can't use a hotspot, you may be able to set up a secondary connection on your WiFi router, and with MAC filtering (for security) if possible.
hey is there actually anyway to run wifi using actual ds cartridges (still no AR)
