Modding My DSi


I just saw this beautiful DSI at my local op shop that had a screen protector installed and was kept in a dsi purse and as I broke my 3DSs charging port. when I brought it home and went to play a game but then released I had managed to lose all but 1 of my DS games so I decided I needed to mod it

modding the console

I followed the guide on dsi.hacks.guide opting to use the stilehax method which uses a browser exploit though I found a few issues so I did as follows:

First you must copy twilight menu, dumpTool, and unlaunch to the root of your SD card

Then you visit the website stilehax.net on your dsi which should run the exploit. if it does not restart your system by holding the power button and try again

Once it launches tm++ press start and use the right and left bumpers (R and L) to locate the unsplash configuration and change the background to black

After exiting the configuration menu launch dump tool and dump your nand to your sd card

then reboot and redo the exploit to relaunch tm++

Run the unlaunch installer and select install unlaunch

After that press and hold the A and B buttons and press the power button once

After it boots into unlaunch select option, and change the boot preferences. I have no button set to tm++ and a set to launcher

After this I copied all my game dumps from my 3ds so I can play all my games (you may find other sources for these but I dumped mine)

I built a website template
