Launching the Exploit (stylehax)

We'll start by first launching our exploit. For the best Unlaunch-free experience, or if the DSi camera is broken to install Unlaunch, we recommend using an exploit called "stylehax" which takes advantage of a flaw in how the DSi Browser application handles webpages.

Requirements

  • Nintendo DSi Browser installed on your Nintendo DSi
    • If you do not have the DSi Browser, then use Memory Pit instead

Launching the exploit

  1. Ensure your SD card is inserted into your Nintendo DSi
  2. Boot your Nintendo DSi and launch the DSi Browser application
  3. Touch the Go to Page button
    • The button will have a green www icon
  4. Type opera:about, and touch Go to load the page
  5. Touch the HOME icon
  6. Touch the Go to Page button
  7. Type stylehax.net, and touch Go to load the page

TIP

The exploit should take 21 seconds to take effect. If it takes longer than 30 seconds, then reboot, and try again.

WARNING

If the top screen turns green, you do not have boot.nds (which is dumpTool in this case) on the root of your SD card. Follow the prep work again.

If the dumpTool menu appears, continue on and make a NAND backup. This can potentially be used to save your console if anything bad happens in the future.

TIP

Continue to Dumping NAND
