Hacking Newbie Question on DSi

[StriderVM]

..... As far as I remember, there wasn't any exploit regarding the DSi right?

So if I have a DSi, this means if I don't use the wifi/online functions, the SD Card is basically useless and the only way is a flashcart that is not blocked?

.... And no way to remove the blacklist I guess as well.

Online play has been disabled by Nintendo years ago. Only 3DS and WiiU have online play nowadays. My DSTWO and R4i SDHC 3DS RTS (all on latest binaries) work fine on firmware 1.4.5 DSi XL.

But there is altwfc if you have a flashcard and/or an Action Replay so you can still continue to playing

So the point still stands right? The SD Card slot is still virtually useless with no way to run games off it right?

Correct!
But if you have sudokuhaxx you can run homebrew for ds.
And with cyclodsi evo you can run dsiware.
And if you have not a FW up to 1.4.2 you can copy dsiware from other sd cards too.
And in sd you can store software, music and photos. So yeah basically nothing

This one is news to me, any link?

You must to have FW 1.4.1 or below
Consult dsibrew for more information!

I thought that only lets you copy savedata, not copy actual DSiware.

You can copy both as a package called a TAD which is the name for a dsiware export.
Only on > 1.4.1 you cannot import the TAD back if it was modified (ie getting a hacked save installed from hackmii.com).

Does that only let you copy DSiware on a system that you previously copied it off of, or does it let you copy any DSiware? I'd really like to get a copy of Zelda Four Swords (which I have on my 3DS legitimately) onto my DSi. It's 1.3u.
