HELP ME - Am I screwed???

[lifehackerhansol]

My DSi XL came with Flipnote Studio and Photo Clock, to name some... no app appears on the DSi Shop to re-download. I guess formatting system could bring it back? Else that system has lost Flipnote until hacked.

Once I formatted its system and all the built-in apps were kept, but dunno if you uninstall them.

I actually tried this a while ago. If you deleted the apps, they do not come back. If you kept them installed, they stay there.

Did they really do that? Guess they do not want to provide any support anymore if somebody has problems with it.

Yup. In the DSiWare menu, no titles are shown, and instead shows "No software available at this time."

Any flashcarts that can be used?

Maybe the OP can find and buy a cheap flashcart that supports the installation of DSi ware/games/apps.

That's not really a thing (and it probably wouldn't be cheap if I had to guess), they'll have to use a DSiWare exploit like Memory Pit

Thanks. Was looking at the memory pit exploit just now. Would memory pit with TWiLight Menu++ be all they need?

Certain features as listed in https://dsi.cfw.guide/installing-unlaunch.html#section-i-sd-card-setup can only be enabled if Unlaunch is installed. But using Unlaunch, or even uninstalling Unlaunch, is not without its risks.
