DSi exploits
This page's 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 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.
