Frequently asked questions are here.
Q: What is the purpose of this project?
A: Getting unsigned "homebrew" code running on the Nintendo DSi in native DSi mode.
Q: Any progress?
A: Not much as this project just started.
Q: What is the purpose of running "homebrew" code on the Nintendo DSi?
A: The Nintendo DSi is a decently powerful system that has a SD slot, 2 cameras on it and a touch screen all in a portable system great for homebrew.
Q: Why not just rely on already available flash carts for homebrew?
A: The goal here is to run our own code via a software exploit, not a hardware one. Also, flash carts have a bad reputation. Finally, current flash carts only allow you to run DS-native homebrew, with no DSi features (such as the cameras) or increased power being available. Also, SD Cards for the DSi are cheaper than flash carts.
