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. )

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.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but will I be able to install this if my Touch Screen is broken?

yes if you can navigate flipnote

 

[TheMCNerd2017]

yes

OK, thanks for telling me. I thought I wouldn't be able to since the right-half of my touch screen just doesn't work(acts like I'm pressing the left side).

Before you start anything - goto Flipnote and see if you can navigate properly.

You may be able to use the directional pad (not sure)

Can't seem to click on paste button at all. Acts like I'm pressing on the copy button instead. This is when I was in a test flipnote by the way.

I have a US DSI XL on 1.4.5U. Following the guide, I successfully dumped NAND to the SD card, and got all the way to putting HiyaCFW on the SD Card. However it just boots to black screens with the SD card inserted. (Unlaunch to the regular FW works fine with no SD card present, plus I can get back to twlnf by renaming it to bootcode.dsi)

I did notice that on the step where I copied the modified 00000002.app (the system menu?) to the SD card, there was already a 00000007.app in the same folder from my NAND dump. Is that normal?

how would one going about deleting the flashcart white list so we can play old flashcart.

I realized I installed unlaunch 0.9. Is it safe to just run the unlaunch 0.8 installer to overwrite it?

Edit: went off the cliff and just renamed the 0.8 unlaunch.dsi to bootcode.dsi, then back to the hiyacfw bootcode.dsi, and now hiya cfw works! Definitely avoid unlaunch 0.9!

Has anyone had the message 'this game cannot be launched' for DSiware (.nds) rom?
I'm getting this problem no matter what DSiware rom I choose.
The game icon is showing correctly but above message appears when I press 'A'.
Interestingly, if I press 'Y' instead of 'A' the icon appears to launch to a white screen.

Have formatted SD to fat32 to no avail - although this did resolve my GBA not wanting to launch problem.
I am on firmware 1.4E - so installed CFW without upgrading to 1.4.5E

Any ideas?

Edit: I should have followed this:

Hey @Robz8, could RSA Patches be implemented for the sys folder/ for the "HWINFO_S.dat" to allow region changing?
