Installing Unlaunch Standalone

You are about to install Unlaunch, a permanent bootcode exploit which gets installed onto the DSi console itself, allowing full control of the console on boot, and as a result, allows homebrew applications full access to the hardware without restrictions from DSi system apps or DSiWare titles.

DANGER

在接下来的步骤前，请按照 Dumping NAND的指引，将 NAND固件进行备份。 A NAND backup + ntrboot (or a hardmod, provided you know how to solder) would allow you to restore this backup in case the console gets bricked afterwards.

DANGER

Installing or uninstalling Unlaunch, while safe, writes to the console's NAND, so there's a small chance to brick your console!

WARNING

如果您现在没有一台电脑，或者你的电脑安装了 ChromeOS，请不要安装 Unlaunch。 A PC (running Windows, Linux, or macOS) is required to ensure the SD Card used is formatted in a way compatible with Unlaunch.

WARNING

Unlaunch 与 Nintendo DSi 开发机不兼容。

第一节 - SD 卡设置

1. Download the latest version of Safe Unlaunch installer
2. Delete boot.nds from the root of your SD card
3. Place unlaunch-installer.dsi on the root of your SD card
4. Rename unlaunch-installer.dsi to boot.nds

Section II - Updating DSi system version

TIP

If Unlaunch is already installed, skip to Section IV

1. In the DSi Menu, launch the System Settings application (the icon is gray and has a white wrench)
   • The version will be shown on the bottom-right of the top screen
   • If the version is Ver 1.4.2, proceed with performing a system update
   • If the version is not Ver 1.4.2, go straight to Section III
2. Touch the number 4 to go to the fourth page
3. Touch System Update
   • It is the third option if your console isn't in your native language
4. Touch Yes when asked to connect to the internet and update
   • It is the left-side option if your console isn't in your native language
   • If the version is already up to date, go straight to Section III
5. Touch the Next button
   • It is the right-side option if your console isn't in your native language
6. Touch the I Accept button
   • It is the top option if your console isn't in your native language
7. Touch the OK button
   • It is the bottom right-side option if your console isn't in your native language
8. Wait for the system to update, and reboot when finished

Section III - Installing Unlaunch

1. Open the installer by re-running the exploit that you used
2. Press the A button after the WARNING message appears
   • If the battery LED is red, it'll tell you to plug in the console. Select Yes to continue after plugging it in
3. If you want to change the default background, select [Custom background] and press A to select the one you want to use
   • Three custom backgrounds are included, but you can add more into a folder called backgrounds on the SD card root (create the folder if it doesn't exist)
4. If you want to keep both the DSi splash (with health and safety message) and the sound in the DSi system menu, select Enable sound and splash and press A to turn it on
5. If Unlaunch is already installed, select the Uninstall unlaunch or Restore launcher tmd option, and press A once it's done
6. Select the Install unlaunch option, and press the A button
7. Press the A button once installation is done
8. Press POWER to reboot your system

If you see Unlaunch's Filemenu screen at this point, you have successfully modded your Nintendo DSi.

• If you see a black screen or if nothing is listed, please take a look at the Troubleshooting page

Section IV - Post-Unlaunch configuration

Currently, Unlaunch defaults to launching its Filemenu on boot, but this can be changed to boot to the original DSi menu.

1. 摁住 A 和 B键 后，再摁下 Dsi 的电源键
   • 这应该能启动到Unlaunch Filemenu
   • If nothing is listed, or if only the NAND contents are listed (even after scrolling down), then you'll need to reformat the SD card
2. Navigate to OPTIONS, and select the NO BUTTON option
3. In the list that follows, select Launcher
4. 选择SAVE & EXIT来保存设置，然后关闭你的DSi

Section V - Cleaning up your SD card

TIP

这些步骤并不是必要的，但假如你需要回收一些SD卡存储空间可以进行。

Memory Pit

• Delete the sd:/private/ds/app/484E494A/pit.bin file from your SD card
• Rename tip.bin back to pit.bin, and leave it intact
• You can now restore the DCIM folder that was on the root of your SD card
• Delete the boot.nds file from your SD card

Flipnote Lenny

• 在下列路径里找到800031_104784BAB6B57_000.ppm和T00031_1038C2A757B77_000.ppm 文件并删除他们。
  • sd:/private/ds/app/4B47554A/001 (日区)
  • sd:/private/ds/app/4B475545/001 (美区)
  • sd:/private/ds/app/4B475556/001 (欧洲、澳大利亚)
