I haven't tried TWLnf yet because of the warning that DSi NAND mounting hasn't been tested yet. Have the scripts for downgrading and installing DSiWare directly on the console been tested? Also, does the DSiWare installation script hace checks to make sure the launcher won't go over the maximum amount of blocks allowed for DSiWare?

Just to clarify, I don't mean to be picky, I just want to make sure the "too many blocks" edge case has been accounted for and that writing to the NAND on the console had been tested. If that's the case, I'll work on adding it to the guide.
Yes it's not tested much, as you can see there aren't too many people in this forum, I myself tested it, I know Lyrin tested DSiWare install, that's about it.

Let's continue the "too many blocks" discussion in the other thread.

Why does the site no longer tell how to downgrade to 1.4 using 4SwordsHax or FieldrunnerHax?

Whats the difference between downgrading with ugopwn vs ugopwn + twlnf?

That is when that section comes out. You should be a bit more proactive with the site, but that is just me.

You're absolutely right on that part- I'm planning on fixing all the issues and discrepancies with the site in a few days. Make sure to submit all the issues to the github!

using ugopwn with twlnf wont need to reflash the whole nand chip when you decide to downgrade (i think, although correct me if i'm wrong)
using ugopwn only with probably fwtool it'll rewrite the whole nandchip and you'll need to dump nand > decrypt > edit > re-encrypt > test nand on no$gba > remove footer from edited nand > restore firmware/ flash.

Those are hard to come by, over 50% of dsi users have flipnote vs. The ~1k that have other entrypoints. We can add that in as an alternative, but it won't be useful to most.

It's still very useful if you have a DSi with 4Swords or Fieldrunners that does not have Flipnote. (Rare but it happens)
I think we need all the entrypoints we can get once the re-download section shuts down. If not, people will give up, format their DSi, and sell it on Ebay, which will delete all exploitable games that cannot be re-downloaded, losing all hope of ever downgrading. Since there's no possibility of increasing the amount of vulnerable consoles, we have to preserve as much as we can. On January 1st, re-downloading Flipnote will become impossible (I think) and that's it, the numbers just drop from there, system after system locked away from exploits, and many will not have a chance to see the homebrew scene (and pirate, but that's a different story) this will be the only way to keep the system and DSiware still slightly relevant. This is a whole community that will die if there isn't a way to run it unofficially.

I've got a DSi with Firmware v1.4 EUR and Flipnote Studio here, is there already a way to exploit that without hardmod? It seems that part of the guide is not writen, yet.

Yep, but you have no need to downgrade. You can use flipnotehax to do things like install other dsiware, but otherwise, HiyaCFW has not released yet. Were you looking to install dsiware?

I"m not sure, but in my case I"m already unable to redownload Flipnote Studio since it doesn"t appear in my Download List(but I already have it downloaded and I have backups of it too); I"m not sure if this an special case, something with the American DSi Shop or with the consoles that came with Flipnote Studio preinstalled.

If it came preinstalled, you cannot re-download it, I'd recommend at least 2 backups on different drives, you do not want to lose your entrypoint.

I'd like to install/start any CFW or Launcher that is possible at the moment. Could SRLoader be an option?

Installing DSiWare would also be cool. Basically I just want to get into DSi hacking without bricking the DSi and/or doing a hardmod. I've also got a M3i Zero flashcart at hand.
