Q: What is the purpose of this project?

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

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

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

Q: Any progress?

'''Q:''' Any progress?

A: ~~Not much~~ as ~~this project just started~~.

'''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, ther is [[Ugopwn]]

~~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:''' 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 does Team Twiizers dump dsiware?

'''A:''' Magic.

'''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.
