Thanks so much. I have to admit that I always get hyped and very curious when it comes to these sort of things.

 

[JSMastah]

I'm curious of something. Since we have these exploits now. Will there or is there a way to have the hacked version run on start without a "fastCart"? Like a bootrom exploit?

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

I have only the DSi Browser. Hopefully the new exploit is going to be for the Browser.

I think it's a simultaneous, so you won't need to worry.

I doubt it would work like that. I think it would work as a GIF file for Flipnote and a webpage for the Browser.

I believe they meant that they think there will be two different exploits releasing at the same time.

That is the best possible scenario I can think of.

Is this likely to get a more permanent entrypoint that autoboots without a RocketLauncher/whitelist exploit cartridge inserted, by any chance?

Has anyone even tried exploiting the DSi's bootloader? I'm loving all the attention the DSi is getting lately, but I hate the requirements of a 1.4.0 firmware and needing FourSwords.

There's a dsiware exploit in development, that'll let you downgrade to 1.4.

My number one request from HiyaCFW would be inputredirection. I would love to use my Dualshock 3 when i am playing at home. It works wonders with my Luma CFWed 3DS, i can finally enjoy dragon quest 8 with a good controller. I want to do the same with dragon quest 4-5-6 remakes on DSi.

I'm not sure if that will be possible. Don't forget that unlike the 3ds, no OS is running anymore once the game has started.

I can only hope. Hope some kind of a plugin system can be implemented, if not it is still the best thing for DSi since it was released.

Note to all still active ds/dsi homebrew developers : if you want your homebrew to be directly compatible with HiyaCFW, port it to the latest devKitARM/libnds version. The improvements made in the 2017 versions of this sdk was about better dsi mode compatibility and producing a valid dsi mode .nds file (similar to a dsiware .nds). Homebrew based on older sdks will still run using nds-bootstrap as a compatibility layer but it is not a perfect solution.

That's a great idea! Thanks!
BTW, how can you download the latest SDK version?

Juste use the devkitpro installer/updater : http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated Installer/

still waiting for the new exploit...

like everyone here

 

[NermaN]

Hope this progress will allow finally to change region on DSi, cause Japan DSi has no english locale

You can count on it that it will still take a little while, so please don't keep repeating it.
