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.

Any way to get any other without Unlaunch?

What guide are you following?

This.

This.

Are you sure you didn't miss any steps, or stopped at some point?

Are you sure you didn't miss any steps, or stopped at some point?

Totally sure. It's actually the third time I follow the guide because HiyaCFW never works as intended.
Any way to start again? But... totally vanilla, to avoid any issue.

You need to overwrite the "title" folder with the one from Hiya's 7z file.

Done.
Now it boots to white.

Your NAND should not have a NO$GBA footer at the end.

Meh, I'm pretty sure it doesn't have it because fuse-3ds asked for my console ID, but anyway, I can't check it because my crappy PC bottlenecks the CPU when checking and never loads.

Apologies if this has been asked already, but when running GBA games, are they run natively or via emulation?

Both. With GBARunner2, it's part native and part emulation.

Im on DSI version 1.4.1U, if i update, it will remove the hiya? And its possible to reinstall after that?

If you're referring to the console NAND, then you probably shouldn't update, unless Unlaunch is uninstalled first.
Also, updating will not remove HiyaCFW, as the DSi is quite old, and Nintendo hasn't done anything to patch it out.

 

[Armagedd0n]

Then, is possible to update the SD Emunand?

 

[RocketRobz]

Then, is possible to update the SD Emunand?

No. That'll remove HiyaCFW's redirection patches.

can U to post here screenshot what is in root of your SD card?

 

[banjo2]

Would it be possible to use this for a modified version of DS DLP so you can receive unofficial ROMs like FlashMe (I think?) does?

 

[Hakiyomi]

how can i do that? i don't know how to do

 

[Azmort]

I can't get it to work with SD bigger than 2GB :/ I already did the extra stpes, but it stays at a white screen.

Download the latest Unlaunch, place it on the SD card root, and rename "Unlaunch.dsi" to "Unlaunch.nds".
