Last night Nathan Farlow released "stylehax", a new exploit for the DSi which uses the web browser.



With the DSi web browser being on most DSi consoles, this will greatly benefit users who don't have Flipnote Studio installed and can't load the Memory Pit exploit due to broken cameras. View the source code for the exploit here: https://github.com/nathanfarlow/stylehax

In order to run the exploit just place "boot.nds" on the root on your SD card and then load http://stylehax.net/ in the browser*.

*note that it often freezes. The DS(i) Mode Hacking! server on discord has found that loading opera:about or http://google.com/ before stylehax will (usually) fix any freezing. Also remember to give it 30 or more seconds to load.

Wasn't the browser preinstalled on later consoles only? The XL variant came with Brain Age, Flitnote Studio the browser and some more, but the earlier non-XL models had no preinstalled DSiWare at all if I remember correctly.

Of course one could have downloaded some stuff from the shop back then… sadly many people didn't and now even free apps aren't accessible anymore. %"§/$* defunct shop!

Still: More exploits are always good, and while Memory Pit is the single most convenient entry point one can think of, as you said: hardware problems can make it unusable.

I've got a non-XL unit (1.4.3U) and that has the browser installed. Not sure if all are like that, but enough are to make it useful.

Also I heard the browser is still available for download on the japanese shop so there's that too.

This is pretty epic.

iirc it was never pre-installed in Japan, however it is still on the Shop in Japan last I checked so for Japanese console's there's that

This is huge, and not getting enough attention. This should be on the front page, new exploits like this are awesome!

 

[FriendlyPolygon]

YAY
They've learned it from PS4 scene

 

[halfashark]

I am genuinely curious why this wasn't up on the front page. This is a big thing.

That said, very few people owned a DSi. Still cool but... I wouldn't be surprised if the amount of people who currently own one on this site could be counted on a single hand.

There are many more people who own DSis than you might think. Just take a stroll down to the NDS section and you'll see dozens of hands worth of DSi threads.

Nearly everyone I know owns a DSi, there are thousands of people across other forums who own DSis, and there's constantly new DS/DSi homebrew being created (such as wavemotion's tons of emulators lol). The DSi community is very much alive.

 

[NyaakoXD]

Such timing. I just recently hacked my own DSi XL using Memory Pit exploit last night before stylehax released.

 

[rvtr]

Better hack it again!

 

[BLsquared]

I currently own a DSi! This is great news!

As a person who owns a DSi, this is very much true.

AMAZING!!! This will revive some DSi's with broken cameras I have laying around haha

Seriously? My guess is your wrong.

Seriously? My guess is your wrong.

I got two DSis in my house, those things sold like mad - some 40 million units

That's like twice as much as the GameCube

 

[megahog2012]

Now if only 3DS systems with broken cameras or Wifi cards could be helped!

 

[rvtr]

ntrboot is always an option. It's by far the quickest and easiest method for modding one.

 

[megahog2012]

Yeah but that requires going through the Home Menu which is f*cked if the Wifi card or the cameras are busted....
Or does it?

Compared to what? The ill-fated Sony Vita? Sure. Compared to the GBA, the 3DS or original DS? Not even in the same universe.
