Since there's already one for the 3DS, I thought why not make one for the DS(i) as well?
With the recent rise of the DSi scene with users using Unlaunch, hiyaCFW, and TWiLight Menu++ with nds-bootstrap, it's about time there's a noob paradise for the DS(i).
Basically, this thread was made so that hopefully this subforum won't get clogged with the same question(s). :P

Common FAQs
Q: How do I update Unlaunch?
A: Download the latest one here: https://problemkaputt.de/unlaunch.htm, and extract "unlaunch.dsi" to the SD root.
If you're on 1.8 or later:
Power on your DSi console, then select "UNLAUNCH".
After selecting it, select "INSTALL NOW".
You should now be on the latest version.
If you're on 1.7 or below:
Extract "unlaunch.dsi" to the SD root.
Rename your existing "bootcode.dsi" file to "hiya.dsi" (if using hiyaCFW), then rename "unlaunch.dsi" to "bootcode.dsi".
Put your SD card in the DSi console, then power it on.
If you see an "INSTALL NOW" option, select it.
You should now be on the latest version.
Q: How do I uninstall Unlaunch?
A: Download Unlaunch above, boot "unlaunch.dsi", then select "UNINSTALL".
It is not recommended to do so, as there's a high chance of bricking.
Q: Uninstalling Unlaunch says that my DSi will be rendered useless, will that brick my DSi?
A: No, it won't. That's just NoCash's way of saying that the DSi will be back to stock/unmodified.
