Installing Unlaunch + hiyaCFW

您即將安裝 Unlaunch,這是一種永久性的引導程式碼漏洞,它安裝到 Nintendo DSi 主機本身上,允許在啟動時完全控制主機,因此允許自製應用程式完全存取硬件,而不受 Nintendo DSi 主機軟體或 DSiWare 軟體的限制。

Installing Unlaunch is required in order to use hiyaCFW.

DANGER

如果您尚未執行此操作,請按照匯出系統NAND進行操作。 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

安裝或解除安裝 Unlaunch 雖然安全,會寫入主機的系統NAND,因此有很小的幾率會將主機當機!

WARNING

If you do not have access to a PC, or if your PC is running ChromeOS, then please do not install Unlaunch and hiyaCFW. 需要一台個人電腦(執行 Windows、Linux 或 macOS)來確認所使用的SD卡格式與 Unlaunch 相容。

WARNING

Unlaunch 與 Nintendo DSi 的開發版主機不相容。

第一部分 - SD卡設定

  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

    • 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
