[Release] HiyaCFW - World's FIRST Nintendo DSi CFW!

Here it is, the first DSi CFW!

Video by Alex S (with TWiLight Menu++ (previously known as DSiMenu++ and SRLoader) installed):


Video by @Apache Thunder (When RocketLauncher was planned for a release. With WarioWare Touched (DSiWare version) installed.):


(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.

1. yes

3. yes, there is a guide on dsi.guide.me

here, inside this pack: http://www.mediafire.com/file/w0tgqvhb3y5vpud/Pack+DSi+CFW.rar

Now I have a little request. I need a working decrypted and tested copy of the DSIWARE Zelda 4 sword anniversary edition. I need the folder version, the one to install in sd root:/title of Hiya CFW (not the .tia/.cia or the .nds version). Could you please upload it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have one but its illegal to share that stuff on this site right? If you know a way to share it let me know.

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to share the files required for that section on this site. You could always DM me on Discord, and I'd be glad to help.

Hey there!

I installed Unlauncher successful. Now I'm on step HiyaCFW installer. On dsi.cfw.guide is written:

Insert your <2 GB SD card into your system

2. Power on your DSi
·twInf will appear.

But it doesn't appear. What should I do? I followed the steps before.

Did you rename twlnf.nds to bootcode.dsi?

Ok Hiya is loading for me, but it is stuck on an whitescreen.

The SD Card has all necessary files and an valid nand dump.

Edit: Ok HiyaCFW is now working fine. ^^
