Here it is, the first DSi CFW!

Video by Alex S (with TWiLight Menu++ (previously known as DSiMenu++ and SRLoader) installed):


Video by @Apache Thunder (When RocketLauncher was planned for a release. With WarioWare Touched (DSiWare version) installed.):


(NOTE: Since hiyaCFW has been released a few days ago (as of posting this), and no official thread has been made, I decided to go and make it, despite not making the actual patches for it. )

With this CFW, you can run custom DSiWare, alongside region free and 3DS-exclusive DSiWare (WarioWare Touched), on your SD card, via NAND to SD redirection!
You can also run blocked flashcards (such as R4 Ultra).

FAQs
Q: Can I use a custom splash for hiyaCFW?
A: Yes you can. Place it at "sd:/hiya/" and name them "splashtop.bmp" and "splashbottom.bmp". Make sure they're actually saved as .bmp files, with the size of 256x192, with no color space info, and is 16-bit (A1 R5 G5 B5, or X1 R5 G5 B5). .gif files will also work instead of .bmp files.

The big dummy file is only for getting around the "An error has occurred." screen.

Try running HBChecker.
If no issues are found, try another SD card.

I followed the guide and everything went perfectly, thank you so much!

I have one question regarding:

1. Power off your console, and turn it back on
   • HiyaCFW’s settings screen should appear
2. Change the settings to your liking, and press (START) to continue

I didn't change any settings, left it at default. Should I have changed something, if yes, is it possible to do this now?

You can change the settings by holding SELECT while starting the system. You probably don't need to change anything, it's up to you.

Ok, thank you. Good to know.

Great, I just got this installed on my Japanese dsi. How do I now switch the language? The CFW didn't add a language switcher.

You'll need to use TWiLightMenu++ as well to get an english interface. There's no other language option on the japanese version of the DSi.

Use TWiLight Menu++.

EDIT:

I have a Japanese DSi and would like to change the language, if possible could you tell me how to do it?

 

[RocketRobz]

Eu tenho um DSi japonês e eu só queria mudar a linguagem, se é que isso é possível, você poderia me dizer o caminho?

English please.

As I said two posts right before yours, there's no other language option on the japanese version of the DSi.

 

[biannorj]

yes, I've solved this part, the best of all is not to need the R4 card to play

My gba is asking for a bios, does anyone know where to find it?

Turn on title autoboot in HiyaCFW configuration.
Hold SELECT after pressing power to open it.
