This list is designed to be a updated collection of current DSi mode homebrew.

Regarding the current state of DSi mode homebrew in general

There is currently no practical way to run homebrew in DSi-mode. Save game hacks exist, but these have severe limitations:

  • The SD slot and NAND flash are inaccessible.
  • The amount of code space is limited to the available space in the game's save file. (A few kilobytes)

Exploits

The Drunken Coder's savegame exploit

This exploit allows DSi homebrew coders to run unsigned ARM asm code in DSi-mode. The hack can be found here.
