Here it is, the first DSi CFW!

(NOTE: Since hiyaCFW has been released a few days ago (as of posting this), and no official thread has been made, I decided to go and make it, despite not making the actual patches for it. :P )

With this CFW, you can run custom DSiWare, alongside region free and 3DS-exclusive DSiWare (WarioWare Touched), on your SD card, via NAND to SD redirection!
You can also run blocked flashcards (such as R4 Ultra).

FAQs

Q: Can I use a custom splash for hiyaCFW?
A: Yes you can. Place it at "sd:/hiya/" and name them "splashtop.bmp" and "splashbottom.bmp". Make sure they're actually saved as .bmp files, with the size of 256x192, with no color space info, and is 16-bit (A1 R5 G5 B5, or X1 R5 G5 B5). .gif files will also work instead of .bmp files.

I followed the guide and everything went perfectly, thank you so much!

I have one question regarding:
  1. Power off your console, and turn it back on
    • HiyaCFW’s settings screen should appear
  2. Change the settings to your liking, and press (START) to continue

I didn't change any settings, left it at default. Should I have changed something, if yes, is it possible to do this now?

You can change the settings by holding SELECT while starting the system. You probably don't need to change anything, it's up to you.

Great, I just got this installed on my Japanese dsi. How do I now switch the language? The CFW didn't add a language switcher.

yes, I've solved this part, the best of all is not to need the R4 card to play

My gba is asking for a bios, does anyone know where to find it?
