everyone is talking about how to use this exploit and which game to buy. i don't see anyone talking about the risks. what are the risks to the sd slot, the file system, the sd card, the dsi? is there a risk of bricking? no one seems to know or be talking about it. i didn't get my dsi xl for free and i'm not about to risk it for an exploit that runs a few homebrew files.

This doesn't probably do a single thing on the internal NAND, since it's just a "launcher" channel. The worst it could happen to your DSi, is a freeze (no biggie, just turn it off).
This is entirely done via software, no harm to hardware can come from it.

If this instead was permanent, then you could be sure that it was messing with the internal files.

And btw, this is Team Twiizers, not Waninkoko

I'm pretty sure that their system is bulletproof.

The absolute worst that's happened to my system is it crashed, and having to hold down the power button to shut it off.
I do have a guinea pig system for this though, I recently got a new DSi.

Anyhow everytime I turn the DSi back on it's absolutely fine.
...I wonder what would happen if someone tried to run the infamous taihen.nds bricker this way?
No way in hell I'd try it.

IIRC, taihen.nds hasn't worked since DS Lite with firmware V6+, since they shuffled over some addresses (or applied some kind of overwrite protection, can't remember).

Since the DSi's firmware is completely different, it shouldn't work anymore.

And if i´m correct, Flashme updates your DS fw to FW8 (using the latest flashme)

i'd like to hear one of the team members say its safe to use and there is NO risk of bricking anything. there could be that 1 file that causes issues because its coded like shit or tries to do something. i couldn't be sure until i went through the code for each project, and honestly who is going to do that?

Any way to buy Nintendo Points with PayPal in the USA?

some sites you can buy a prepaid visa card using paypal, then buy the dsi cards from a store like target, gamestop, etc. i usually buy my cards from amazon.com, i think they have a paypal option (i honestly can't remember). amazon is nice because if you get 2 they ship them for free and charge no tax =P.

Unfortunately, Amazon.com does not take Pay Pal. They have their own banking service, and I think they take Google's service as well, but not Pay Pal. They will let you link a credit card or a Pay Pal debit card or similar cards to it, though. It's how I order my PS2/PSP games.

Since a lot of people are going to get 1000 or 2000 points just for this, what would be some good games on DSiWare for 800 points? Actual fighting games would be nice, i.e. not Photo Dojo.
