Gaming Should I pick up a DSi?

In early December we managed to get DSi mode code execution by exploiting the DSiWare application ‘Sudoku’ by EA. Sudoku is only available for regions USA and EUR/AU. Exploiting DSiWare is interesting because in DSi mode the DSi SD card slot is accessible, the whole 16MB RAM is available, and the CPU is clocked 2x higher than DS-mode. The max size of the embedded code that can be loaded directly via this exploit is limited so a small payload was needed to chain load to another application. Initially a wifi loader was used, but this was switched to load from the DSi SD card slot. The SD card loader boots /boot.nds from the SD card directly from Sudokuhax.

DSiWare exploits can’t access gamecard slot1, it’s likely that only launcher/sysmenu can access slot1. The main advantage of DSiWare exploits over hybrid card EEPROM savedata exploits is SD card access, *and* the exploit supports SDHC.

yeah i remember that method, but it was so long ago i thought it was long dead and sudoku patched...

it is dead and soduko was removed/patched, you can't use any hack now on DSi
