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.

Okay so I followed the guides (dsi.cfw.guide) and I installed Unlauncher. It quickly shows up when I start my DSi. I continued following the guide to install HiyaCFW But it went wrong somewhere... I ran HiyaCFW helper and copied the contents of the 'out' folder to my SD card but when I put my sd card back in my DSi the guide says Unlauncher GUI should appear but it doesn't. It just boots the same way it did before. Any ideas?

Did you install Unlaunch?

 

[Julia2904]

Did you install Unlaunch?

I did. When I turn the DS on it briefly shows Unlanch but goes to the normal homescreen and now when I follow the steps in Flipnote to open HBmenu it opens TWiLight Menu ++. I can't open any rooms from there though.

You need to install TWiLight Menu++ on that >2GB SD card.

Just get a new .tmd file from the latest "HiyaCFW.7z", or just merge the "title" folder with the one from "HiyaCFW.7z".

can i use cheat on cfw, and how my dsi can install flipnote?

 

[RocketRobz]

can i use cheat on cfw

If you mean with nds-bootstrap, then not yet.

and how my dsi can install flipnote?

If you don't have Flipnote Studio on your DSi, then you'll need to either hardmod or buy another DSi that has Flipnote.

Does Hiya support Wifi? Because whenever i try to turn on wifi it says "An Error as occurred" then shuts off.

Press POWER, then hold A, then start "LAUNCHER", then go to System Settings.

Can this work with a DSi that has been, say, software exploited via flipnote studio vuln?

Yes.

Did that then when I return to Hiya the Wifi indicator turns back off.
