Jwario: New page: == Made in Wario -- DSiWare List == Made in Wario is on the list here for DSiWare, but I understood this to be a retail DS game accompanied by a WiiWare game. Am I mistaken?

Made in Wario is on the list here for DSiWare, but I understood this to be a retail DS game accompanied by a WiiWare game. Am I mistaken?

Jwario: /* Dub-T's Nintendo DSi Shop Hack */

This page's [[Talk:DSi hacks|talk page]] is dedicated to the discussion and furthering of an exploit on the DSi that can be used for homebrew. We will use this page to update important updates in the project. Feel free to contribute.

== Current Hacks ==

=== Blasty's hack ===

Blasteh (Blasty) has posted a video on Youtube showing code being run in DS mode on the DSi using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifa_08 Fifa '08]. Several people are currently working on this hack.

=== Yasu's hack ===

Inthegray has posted a video on Youtube showing homebrew but it is not known whether it is a real exploit or just a flashcart.(he should obviously show if he is) Yasu is credited as the programmer.

=== Dub-T's Nintendo DSi Shop Hack ===

Not so much of a hack as a conundrum. Hacker Dub-T has captured packets through Wireshark. While he captured the packets he downloaded the Nintendo DSi Browser. Using the "Export as HTML Object" he saved it to file. The file has no extensions and is named "00000000". This matches the name of a "compiled" Browser. eg: "484E4745.bin" What we need is someone to find out the encryption and replay the packets to trick the DSi to download and install the faked browser. This is just a suggestion and is not known if possible. To download a .zip with both the "00000000", "484E4745.bin", a file sorting file (Seems to tell the DSi what to show to the user.), and the .pcap capture file, go to:

http://www.mediafire.com/?4eyimjdnh0o (File is 31.4MB)

Due to the fact that the files may be encrypted by RSA, it may be nearly impossible to encryt the files. But if so edit this page to tell if so. It may be also possible to resend this file to a DSi and succesfully giving the DSi a "authentic" file to install. This can be useful because now we will be able to "donate" our dumps from Wireshark and reupload them to our DSi's for FREE!!! Without the DSi encrypting them first! So this can be a way to run homebrew.

If anyone knows how to fake a site and get the DSi to connect and download our file, edit this line and please explain how.

== Working on a hack ? ==

If you are working on a hack for the Nintendo DSi and need help, feel free to talk about it on the talk page or update this page to write informations on your hack. Please only do this if you have actually made any progress, and have proof (for example a video or some technical information on what you have done or what you have found out from doing it) proving that you have. This is not a list for possible ideas or team recruitment.

Jwario: /* cpu speed */

Any chance of getting a similar shot from the DSLite and PhatDS for comparison?
== cpu speed ==
ARM11 cpu (319-512 mhz) Really that powerful huh? damm [http://dsibrew.org/wiki/User:Wolfmanz51 wolfmanz51]

== Re: cpu speed, and other ARM issues ==

Actually that would seem to be in error -- we need some better sourcing on this, and some more investigation of the actual specifications of the CPU. According to ARM's own website [http://www.arm.com/markets/home_solutions/armpp/24807.html], the DSi contains an ARM7 and an ARM9, much like the original DS (so we'd have to assume that both of those are incorporated into the single chip). I've never seen the claim of ARM11 anywhere except on this wiki.

As for the 133mhz, that does seem to be confirmed -- an employee from Opera who worked on the browser for the system mentions that clock speed in an article here [http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2338736,00.asp]. It's still unclear, however, which processor we're talking about -- I've seen it claimed that it actually has an ARM7 running at 66mhz and an ARM9 running at 133mhz, but no confirmation I can find from a legitimate source.

I would also like to know if there is any real confirmation of the existence of a "compatibility mode" in which the CPU is essentially throttled to half speed. That certainly makes sense, given what we can gather of the CPU's abilities, but I've never seen any source for it.

We really need to sort these basic hardware questions out.
