[Release] HiyaCFW - World's FIRST Nintendo DSi CFW!

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. :P )

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.

is there a cart in the dsi (if trying to boot hiyacfw) for some reason (dont know if this is on 1.2 of the cfw) if the cart is in the system while booting to hiya cfw the screen will stay white. also i can't boot from the card slot even with the cart loaders. nitro hax sees it but when trying to boot it it just freezes at a white screen same with ntr launcher. but oh well i have a 3ds that can convert my carts to .nds so i can try to play them on srloader on the dsi if compatible.

I have a Japanese DSi LL on 1.4.4. I have never installed an exploit on here but I DO have Flipnote Studio installed. Can I use this yet?

Not yet, As of now the only way for people with EUR or JAP DSi's to hack is to do a hard mod, but soon there should be a proper alternative.

I stuck at the boot screen ( white screen appears after turning it on ). Take out the sd card --> it will boot normally again. How can I fix it?
