Nintendo DSi Shop

Nintendo DSi Shop is an application to buy DSi applications/games with Nintendo DSi Points.

This connects to tss.t.shop.nintendowifi.net and uses the user agent:

  • Opera/9.50 (Nintendo; Opera/154; U; Nintendo DS; en)

which means again nintendo have used opera in the shop channel

Description

Used to download DSiWare from Nintendo. Anything from applications to video games. DSiWare is either: Free, 200, 500 or Premium (800) Nintendo Points. Until October, users who connect to DSi Shop for the first time receive 1,000 DSi points.

At this time, on an American DSi, it is possible to change the region of your shop channel by changing the region of your DSi in the setting

Do NOT try to reclaim your 1000 points by deleting your shop channel account simply because you used them on a DSiware game you disliked or anything like that, you'll simply lose all your DSiware games and will be left with 0 points. As of now, this doesn't no longer help because Nintendo has stopped sending free 1000 DSi Points.

While the Wii uses a simple SOAP command to retrieve the latest system titles, it appears that the DSi may have SSL certificates required to do so, and that these may be present in the DSi Shop Channel contents when decrypted.

A possible point of entry into homebrew DSiWare may be possible, using a fake DNS server, much like the way people can make their Pokémon Nintendo DS games connect to fake GTS servers.
