Never follow youtube guides! They can get outdated quick! Always use online guides like www.hacks.guide!

There may or my not be a post on this , I have looked. A side from my above posts, but why can't running GBA games from a R4 card be better. I 've tried several setups but most dont work, or work poorly. I am puzzled why they make good working emulators for ios and android, but when it comes to running through a R4 card on a Nintendo console is fair at best. What is the secret. the SD card on dsi with GBARunner works wells except for Pokemon Emerald which who knows why that does not work. Can GBA runner work on a R4 setup up , or what should I do. Thanks in advance :unsure::hateit:

Hello.:)

Welcome to the DSi Modded Club.:yaynds:

Did you have already done the Memory Pit Exploit ?
UNLAUNCH is already installed ?
You have a NAND Backup ?

Then you maybe can proceed.

Thank you.:)

Good job finding this exploit. Worked like a charm.

Although it is a bit annoying that this renders the DSi camera application unable to access the photos on the SD card. Can I safely remove the exploit once Unlaunch etc. are installed? If yes, do I simply need to delete the modified pit.bin?

Yep, delete pit.bin is all you have to do. Homebrew can be accessed with unlaunch from then on.

Online update and re-downloading paid titles from the defunct DSi-Shop is still possible. But why update? Updating the DSi firmware has virtually no benefits. See here for an unofficial changelog:
https://dsibrew.org/wiki/System_Menu
Most updates were just attempts to block flashcarts.
All DS cartridges, DSi enhanced games as well as the very few DSi exclusive carts should work regardless of your firmware version… and if you are interested in installing custom firmware an update is not needed: https://dsi.cfw.guide/

To connect a DSi to a modern (WPA2) access point make sure to tap on "Advanced Setup" within internet settings and set up one of the connections 4, 5 or 6 (not 1, 2 or 3 which only support WEP or unencrypted WiFi). However, this will not allow connecting non DSi software to the internet – the requirement for WEP/uncrypted for older titles stays.

Hi! I have never hacked a DSI before so do I need to connect it to my computer? I heard someone talking about the SD card, what do I do with it? Can someone please give me a more in depth explanation on how to hack my DSI? Or link me a youtube tutorial? Thank you so much!

Memory Pit is a new DSi exploit in the DSi camera!
Using it is very simple:
1) Download the attached file and put it in sd:/private/ds/app/484E494A
2) Put the hbmenu.nds file on the root named boot.nds (can't be unlaunch, it won't work. Unlaunch can be booted via hbmenu however)
3) open DSi camera, tap SD card at the top, and tap album
4) Done!

Enjoy modding your DSi!
I don't have "private/ds/app/484E494A" instead I have "private/ds/title" then two files that are named "4B475545.bin" and "HNB_.lst" what do I do?

Create the missing folder yourself or open the camera app and tap on "SD" once to have the DSi create it.

Hi guys, I messed up big time. I’ll just cut the story short and blame myself for being dumb. I no longer have the NAND back up and the memory card I used with the DSi. My DSi now defaults to the System Settings and I can’t get to the home menu even if I restart or format my DSi. I believe I used some program that makes my DSi look like the old operating system (original DS/DS Lite version) to access my games.

Is there a way to trace back my mess and fix it?

Edit: Yes I used Memory Pit

Hold (A)+(B) when turning on the DSi. Hopefully unlaunch Filemenu starts. Set a new default option for "No button" and "Load Error"

I will add some screenshots in a few minutes to this post. Done!

Thank you so much! It worked, I almost lost hope and it's been like that for months! :)

Although now the music and sound on the home menu is gone, but games and apps, and setting have their sounds/music. It puzzles me what could have caused them to disappear

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
