'''Frequently asked questions are here.'''

'''Q:''' What is the purpose of this project?

'''A:''' Getting unsigned "homebrew" code running on the Nintendo DSi in native DSi mode.

'''Q:''' Any progress?

'''A:'''The Memory Pit Exploit has been made and is now the most efficient and the easiest way to boot unsigned code, as well as stylehax, which exploits the Web Browser and is useful for those with broken Cameras who have not completed the Camera tutorial.

'''Q:''' What is the purpose of running "homebrew" code on the Nintendo DSi?

'''A:''' The Nintendo DSi is a decently powerful system that has a SD slot, 2 cameras on it and a touch screen all in a portable system great for homebrew.

'''Q:''' Why not just rely on already available flash carts for homebrew?

'''A:''' The goal here is to run our own code via a software exploit, not a hardware one. Also, some flash carts have a bad reputation. Finally, current flash carts only allow you to run DS-native homebrew, with no DSi features (such as the cameras) or increased processing power being available. Also, SD Cards for the DSi are cheaper than flash carts.

'''Q:''' How can we know DSiware title code?

'''A:''' If you mean title IDs, see the title list. If you want to download DSiWare from NUS, you can't without the ticket which isn't available on NUS.

'''Q:''' What is FATFS? /PXI

'''A:''' PXI is the TWL SDK inter-processor communication system over the FIFO. FATFS is the TWL SDK Arm7 FAT interface for NAND, SD, etc.

'''Q:''' How do you dump DSiWare?

'''A:''' You can now use GodMode9i to do that.

'''Q:''' If DSi mode hybrid games have exploit, you are able to boot from sd card, aren't you?

'''A:''' Hybrid card games do not have SD card MMC bus access. We would've used those exploits to boot from SD card ages ago if those had access.

Cluestorm: Undo revision 2099928 by Cluestorm (talk)

Sudokuhax

2024-09-02T18:06:38Z

Cluestorm: /* Usage */ added Usage from Team Twiizers own post.

{{Infobox/homebrew
| author = TeamTwiizer, {{User|yellows8}}
| type = dsiware exploit
| website = http://hackmii.com/2011/01/sudokuhax-release/
| download = https://github.com/yellows8/dsi/blob/master/exploits/sudokuhax
}}

'''Sudokuhax''' was the original DSiWare exploit, made for the game Sudoku by EA. It was only available through the American and European/Australian DSi Shop, for 200 Nintendo Points. The exploit works by hacking the game's savedata to make it to load the file "boot.nds" from the SD in DSi-mode. Sudoku was removed from the DSi Shop, in March Nintendo/EA patched it and it's available for download again, see the HackMii post.

== Usage ==
# Export Sudoku to SD card via the data management menu.
# Sudokuhax will then be injected into the Sudoku application via client software. The client software uploads DSi-specific data from the Sudoku application to a web server, then injects the retrieved data into the Sudoku application.
# Copy the output binary to SD card with the same filename as the original.
# Copy Sudokuhax from SD card to “internal memory” via the data management menu.
# Launch Sudoku, then press button A or touch screen at the Sudoku title screen.
# Now boot.nds on SD card will be run.

== Version history ==
=== 1.1 ===
* Faster boot.nds loading

=== 1.0 ===

# Scan the 5 QR Codes on the GitHub Page in Petit Computer
# Add <code> boot.nds </code> to the root of your SD Card
# Run the “PWN” program in your Gallery.

== Compatible Versions ==
Japan
# Puchikon mkII - 2.1 and 2.0
# Puchikon - all versions

USA
# Version 2.2

== Problems ==
{{Wikipedia|Petit Computer}} can no longer be purchased on either shops, and even if you have it purchased, only specific versions for USA and Japan are compatible, with the USA versions being available as newer versions have been patched.

'''Frequently asked questions are here.'''

'''Q:''' What is the purpose of this project?

'''A:''' Getting unsigned "homebrew" code running on the Nintendo DSi in native DSi mode.

'''Q:''' Any progress?

'''A:''' The DSi Common key was found ages ago by hackers, but was released/leaked to the public in January 2011. Now we can decrypt DSi specific code, but only system software and '''free''' DSiWare only. And [[Team Twiizers]] has managed to execute some form of unsigned code by directing the save file area of a DSi-mode game to an Arudino chip. This will lead to further - and easier to replicate - exploits, such as [[Sudokuhax]]. For people on the latest firware 1.4.5, there is [[Ugopwn]]

'''Q:''' What is the purpose of running "homebrew" code on the Nintendo DSi?
