DSi hack update

[DjoeN]

Source

Wintermute has been kind enough to open source the DSi hack we have been using. To run the hack you will need a way to read and write save files on DS carts.

Tutorial:
1) Download the hack for your DSi enhanced game from http://github.com/WinterMute/
2) Edit the asm source file to reflect your region (US and UK currently supported), and of course add your own custom code.
3) Make the project which should produce a .sav file
4) Load the save file onto the game cart.
5) Launch the game in your DSi

Currently you are limited in space which restricts you to assembly programming. Hopefully this will inspire a few more people to poke about and get info coming in on SD card access and, of course, the cameras.

Loading a save file:
I have been using a tool called eepinator to upload the save file using a regular DS. There are probably other tools which would work.

Haha, yup, pretty cool stuff. Knew about this ages ago, though dovoto only just posted it about an hour ago.

Noobs have better not start asking about how this can help us load ROMs. >_>

As a random sidenote, if I understand it correctly, it's basically impossible to have a flashcart as we know it run in DSi mode. This only applies to things running from slot-1 though...it still may be possible to run some sort of custom firmware to run homebrew, much like on the PSP.

Thank you moderators! I now officially know this isn't the EoF!

I'm glad they've open-sourced this DSi hack, the general user probably won't be able to make much use of this, but now more developers can get to work finding deeper exploits into the firmware.

Let's see how this hack goes. Hopefully they will make some DSi Homebrew worthwhile so maybe some of us may invest into a DSi...

This is a hack without using flashcards?

Cool.. the whole Wii homebrew thing started just like this.. wait some months and flashcards might become unnecessary

I've also yet to make my move on the DSi since it just doesn't have anything that interests me about it. I want something that i can mess around with basically. Anyway some day or another we'll get our way
