DSi exploits

This page is dedicated to the listing of exploits used used to run homebrew on the Nintendo DSi. Anyone may contribute to this list, as long as any exploits added are explained and verifiable.

DSi-mode exploits

Team Twiizers have found a DSi-Mode Exploit and have managed to use it to run DSi Mode homebrew. However it has not yet been released. More details at : [1] The additional hardware is just required to get a connection to a computer so that things like ram dumps can be created.

Wintermute has made available an open source DSi hack. The exploit works on DSi enhanced games, allowing you to run custom code from a save file. Instructions for using the exploit can be found here: [2]

Stuffman has released a DSi hack that runs through the DSi Web Browser. The hack doesn't have much purpose yet, but it instantly runs the DSi out of memory and stops the transmission. It is an Opera Browser buffer overflow and always has a wierd effect on web browsers. The site is here: [3] On Internet Explorer, it will give the "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?" message, and when it loads, it has an error. On Mobile Safari (iPod Touch and iPhone), it crashes and returns you to the menu. On DSi Opera Browser, it runs out of memory and gives a "Transmission Stopped!" error.

DS-mode exploits

This type of exploit is undesirable because all DSi functionality, such as usage of the cameras, is unavailable to homebrew.

Blasteh (Blasty) has posted a video on Youtube showing code being run in DS mode on the DSi using Fifa '08.
