Homebrew Should I mod my DSi

[NGgeek]

Hi, I recently got a DSi and was wondering if it was a good idea to mod it. Would I still be able to play official games on it or would I have to stick to homebrew. what are the risks of the system getting fried. I have never done this before and don't really know how to do it so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

You'll be able to run both official games (as well as ones before the DS/DSi) and homebrew.
Start here, and you'll be safe.

I absolutely recommend it
I'm very happy with my modded DSi, thanks to the work of everyone in the DSi scene and https://DSi.cfw.guide. There are practically no downsides if everything is done correctly.

The DSi was a DS lite without a GBA slot during its entire lifetime.
With all those fantastic homebrew applications that now exist, it finally is what I expected when I bought mine at day one.
To have all those older systems up to the NDS in one system makes the DSi a great system to have nowadays.
