AceKardTeam has shared via YouTube a video of their flash cart working on the Nintendo DSi in a LAB environment. However, they admit that even though they can get it running, it is almost impossible to make a commercial product out of it.
To quote: This is a lab work, it works ONLY in LAB. Even though we can go this far, it is almost impossible to make a commercial product.
There is a major problem that can't be resolved, at least for now. It seems DSi did many sanity checks to make sure there is no more fcards.. we will keep researching and good luck to all.
BTW: We assume there are more than one modes on DSi, we still haven't found any way to access the SD card slot in origin DS mode.
Just over a week ago we reported on the initial news of the Nintendo DSi being hacked.
Today, a new video is available showing homebrew running on the brand new Nintendo DSi courtesy of A252 via YouTube.
To quote: The famous Homebrew of Yasu now run on DSi.
PS: Take that Nintendo!
This is the site of the author of the Nintendo DSi exploit. Video below:
Nintendo has confirmed to MCV (linked above) today that flash cards such as the R4 will not with the Nintendo DSi.
This news does not come as a shock to most, and was suspected by many Nintendo DSi owners who reported on it last week.
To quote: Nintendo has confirmed to MCV that today's reports claiming that SD-card based piracy hardware the R4 will not work with the upcoming DSi are correct.
The platform holder was not able to confirm whether this is a deliberate feature of the newly redesigned handheld. However, judging by recent history it’s not unreasonable to presume this is the case.
Looks like all is right with the world again, according to the latest numbers from Media Create.

Yasu, the author of YSMenu, has posted a video on his YouTube account that claims to show the new Nintendo DSi running a simple homebrew proof of concept - the famous "Hello World!".
The video shows a bounding box on the upper screen showing the text "Yasu software Hello World!". The touch screen appears to be unused and shows just a white screen. There is no mention on how the hack has been performed, or from where the exploit is running (slot-1 flash cart? SD card? Wi-fi?), hopefully more information will follow soon.
If this is indeed real, it is surely fantastic news and means that the DSi has been exploited in just 3 days after retail release, with this hack hopefully being the stepping stone to greater things.
You may want to take this one with a grain of salt, and don't go jumping up and down until we hear more information on this hack and it's limitations. Stay tuned!

The November 1st Japanese release of the new Nintendo DSi has been a success.
The initial allocation of 200,000 retail units has sold out in four days, with most of the sales coming from pre-orders.
TechRadar notes that an additional 100,000 units are set to ship to stores in Japan over the next week or so. The site also notes that eBay is rife with scalpers offering the new DSi for practically double the cost of the Japanese recommended retail price.
Nintendo has yet to announce a firm release date for the Nintendo DSi in territories other than Japan.
Japanese site Watch Impress has recently got their hands on a brand new Nintendo DSi, and decided to take it apart to reveal a peek at the inside contents.
As previously mentioned, differences include slightly larger LCD screens, refined stereo speakers and the DSi CPU, which includes the 'TWL' revision stamped on it with a 2007 date.
The original Ninwtendo DS/DS Lite CPU was dated as 2004, with revision stamps 'NTR' and 'NTR B' respectively.
Those interested can check out all the dissection photos on their site linked above. Enjoy!
Nintendo has done what we all expected and blocked the Nintendo DSi from running what seems to be nearly every single flash card on the market.
If you have a CycloDS, G6 DS Real, M3 DS Real, Supercard DS One, iTouch DS, FCard, NCard, M3 DS Simply, U2DS, R4 DS and EZ Flash V don’t expect any of them to work.
It seems the DSi blocks both auto boot cards and ones that boot from the menu. If it’s auto boot it crashes and while the others show up in the menu, but once selected come up with an error.
Bad news for pirates, good news for Nintendo and bad news for legitimate homebrew. But how long till they bypass it?
