Seems 0.6 can still result in bricks. Launcher SRL needs the write protect flag too. But this one is recoverable. Seems exploit still works because Stage2 doesn't even get far enough along to check that the SRL even exists. TMD file is loaded first.

Makes sense since TMD file determines file name of the .app file. It's how it would know what file name to expect for the .app. ;)
is it necessary to update from unlaunch 0.6 to 0.7?
do i need to uninstall it first ?
dont! I think 0.7 has some issues. I got bricked from it despite following the correct steps!

Just run the 0.8 unlaunch installer as bootcode.dsi on your SD card. It will upgrade/replace an existing Unlaunch installation just fine.
I personally can’t boot to the DSI menu. It gets stuck on the Unloader splash screen. If you press any buttons it says a error has occurred. An identical thing happened to another user with the exact same color DSi XL (the burgundy one) also on Unloader 1.7.

You don't need to boot DSi menu to update Unlaunch. As I said, just download unlaunch.dsi and rename it to bootcode.dsi. Put to root of SD card and then start DSi. Unlaunch will launch that instead of DSi Menu where your error was coming from.

Ohhh. Alright. Would it be possible to use bootcode.dsi to finish the HiyaCFW install if you lost your SD card? Just curious.

Is ugopwn ever going to come out in other regions than USA? I really feel like they just abandoned it all, and I still check the announcements in the DSiBrew Discord server daily. No announcements. Nothing at all.

Hey I attempted to install unlaunch and succeeded but I actually didn't like the splash screen when you power on the dsi. I was wondering if there was anyway to disable that and restore to original dsi boot or to uninstall unlaunch completely.
Thanks if anyone knows

Also I already deleted the dsi boot

you mean the unlaunch one? no way to remove that but uninstalling unlaunch, but if you mean the hiyaCFW one, yea, you can disable that, which you can even disable every splash screen, so that it boots straight into the menu

I was trying to install hiyacfw but my nand didn't have the no gba footer and I couldn't complete the download
Also by straight to the menu do you mean the nintedno bot menu or will it show the unlaunch or jiyacfw boot screen?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also how do you create the NAND with the No GBA footer?

once you boot into emunand, you get to choose whatever you put at startup, whether it be the hiya splashscreen, the the DSi splashscreen or both
