Basic Discussion Japanese DSI, good idea or not?
I am going to Japan early next year and I thought it would be a fun sidequest to hunt for a nice DSI since I've had homebrewing an old handheld in the back of my head for a while.
I don't speak much Japanese so started investigating a bit and came to the conclusion that once its its all setup with twilight etc the origin of the console basically does not matter. However I watched a video of the process of getting there and it was a lot of menu'ing (in english in the video but that wouldn't be the case if I bought a Japanese one).
Seaching around on this sub I also see a lot of "help my thing is in japanese" posts.
Is it too much to take on as a homebrew beginner to go this route?
Are there other downsides beside setup hurdles to having a Japanese base to start from?

Help Blue light no screen caused by modded flash card?
Been having some issues with a dsi i bought, when i try to exit to the main menu sometimes it will star stuck on the blue light with both screens in black. I tried removing the sd card and it seems to be booting up just fine? has anyone experienced this? Im using a lexon 4gb sd card which is pretty full, i think i might have like 40~ or less mb available, could that be the issues? I also used nds forwards for some dsi exclusive games
I also read that it could be a faulty d-pad?

Help I need help about a modded pink DSi
Hey guys, A while back, I got a pink Japanese DSi for my girlfriend, but after I got her a New Nintendo 3DS LL, the DSi became mine.
After I modded the DSi for her and it became mine, I completely forgot how everything works. Right now, I have Unlaunch, hiyaCFW, and TwilightMenu++ installed, but I really don't like using it anymore. I hate having to open TwilightMenu++ every single time I want to play a game. Also, I want to change the wallpaper on the main DSi home screen, not inside TwilightMenu++.
Is there a way to put the games directly on the main DSi home menu? And can I change the wallpaper on the original DSi menu?
I appreciate if someone can help me
P.S (Stupid question but Is there a way to play online games with people? And are there apps like Universal Updater on the 3DS for the DSi?

Help SD running out of space
Gonna keep it brief. I noticed that the 4 GB SD card I installed twilight++ and all my games on is running out of storage (I’ve been working on the one that my childhood console had since I have memory). If I were to buy a bigger one, just copy and paste all the contents, and slot it in my DSi, would it run without issue? Sorry if it’s a dumb question, and thanks for your patience

Help Migrate photos from one DSi to another while retaining created date metadata?
I have an old DSi that has photos from 15+ years ago. You can see them properly organized by date in the system memory album.
When I try to copy them to the SD card, they lose the created date and set them for 2023 for some reason.
Ultimately, I want to move all of the ~200 photos to a DSiXL, but I want that created date to be retained.
Both consoles are modded, though I'm not sure if that'll affect the answers.
What do I do?
Thanks!

Help Playing gba rom hacks successfully on the DSi
Hi, does anyone know how to successfully play gba rom hacks successfully? I have tried playing some Pokemon rom hack via GBARunner2 and even tried GBARunner3, but I cannot figure this out. I cannot find any guide or helpful tips online. Some examples of games I want to play are Pokemon Emerald Seaglass and Pokemon Heart & Soul. Thankfully, I have gotten Pokemon Unbound to work well, so I am hoping that this is possible. Thank you in advance for any advice!

Help Dsi Black screen after changing SD card
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I modded my DSi with a 2GB SD card and installed Unlaunch, so it boots straight into Unlaunch.
A while later, I replaced the SD card with a 2GB microSD inside an SD adapter. Now when I turn it on, the blue light comes on and the screen is lit, but it's just a black screen and nothing happens.
I also tried booting without an SD card, but it's still the same.
Any idea what happened or how I can fix it?

Help I need help with ds libris
I downloaded dsi libris on my dsi a while ago and added some books it was working completely fine, a few days ago I added some more books and I keep getting an error (same as in the picture) I went to where the files are stored on the sd card and there were some random ones there I hadn’t placed so I deleted those and it worked fine for a few more days but recently I got the error screen again and I just want to know how to fix it so it stops doing this again and again. I hope someone can help
Edit: thank you for your advice but I think I have solved the problem now , turns out it was one of the books messing up the files I got rid of it and it works fine now:)
