Hello tempers I'm getting a DSi soon and am going to install hiya, unlauncher, etc. but I wanted homebrew recommendations and any other tips I should now about the DSi and homebrew. Thanks in advance.

Here's the guide you should use: dsi.cfw.guide
This guide will give you twilightmenu++ which I recommend using so that you can enjoy your DS games ran natively from the SD card by working as a frontend for nds-bootstrap. Included are also many other emulators like SMS, Genesis, SNES, GB/GBC, Atari2600. It also comes with GBARunner2 which lets you play Gameboy Advance on your DSi. If you plan on playing Pokemon roms you should try out pkmn-chest which lets you transfer pokemon between the different games with ease just like the official Pokemon Bank for 3DS (just better and free).

Then I recommend getting edpJoy which let's you use your DSi as a gamepad on your phone or PC.

Gamebrew is a good place to look for older homebrew, the Homebrew ROMs section of the nds-bootstrap compatibility list lists some of the more notable homebrew that has been tested.

Atari 2600 is included, not the 800.

Most people probably wouldn't go back and try them again after it failed.

Which ROM hacks specifically? I can update it, or you can ask @Robz8 for edit permission.

Mainly just Pokémon Storm Silver says it’s slow or whatever but it’s perfectly fine for me. You can update it if you like but I don’t think it’s a huge deal just a thing I found interesting
