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]

The DSi Nintendo Zone client might have a bug that can used to run some homebrew. This could mainly be used for dumping RAM etc, as Linux is required and only certain Wifi NICs can be used with hostapd. Yellows8's nzoneurlstacksmash might work on DSi Nintendo Zone, but it's unknown if DSi N Zone has this bug. This exploit can't be tested with DSi until Nintendo Zone AP captures are obtained, to clone a Nintendo Zone AP at home. Nintendo Zone is only available at Nintendo World Store in New York City, and Japan.

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.
