Releases: DS-Homebrew/hiyaCFW

v1.6.2

12 Jul 00:10

Choose a tag to compare

To update:

  • If you're using v1.6.0 or later, replace hiya.dsi on the SD root, with the one from the 7z file, in for SDNAND SD card.
  • If you're using v1.5.1 or prior, (re-)run TWLMagician, which will fix the free space bug.

Bug fix

  • Requested by @R-YaTian: System Settings are now reset when region-changing from Japanese (if the NAND dump is from a console of said region) in order to fix touch inputs not working.
    • If touch inputs are still not working after updating, change the region back to Japanese, save, and then change the region again to the one you're wanting to use.

v1.6.1: 4th of July Release

To update:

  • If you're using v1.6.0, replace hiya.dsi on the SD root, with the one from the 7z file, in for SDNAND SD card.
  • If you're using v1.5.1 or prior, (re-)run TWLMagician, which will fix the free space bug.

What's new?

  • RGB565 .bmp splash screen images will now display properly!
    • If the opposite splash screen image is in .gif format, the .bmp splash will be displayed in RGB555 mode to prevent flickering when displaying the .gif splash.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the DSi Shop and the 3DS Transfer Tool would still display an error after changing the region back to the original in the hiyaCFW config menu.
    • For the fix to take effect, change the region to a different one, save, and change the region back to the one you normally use.
  • Fixed where either the regular hiyaCFW splash, or a splash screen consisting of only one or two .bmp files, is not displayed at all if the splash screen setting is enabled.

v1.5.1

31 Mar 03:46

Choose a tag to compare

To update:

  • If you're using v1.5.0, replace hiya.dsi on the SD root, with the one from the 7z file, in for SDNAND SD card.
  • If you're using v1.4.1 or prior, re-run hiyaCFW Helper.

Bug fix

  • Changing the region on a JPN NAND will no longer cause touch input to not work!
    • This is achieved by clearing the TWLCFG files, which as a result, will cause the system settings to reset.
    • If the issue is still occurring, change the region to a different one, save, reboot, and then switch back.

v1.5.0

To update, re-run hiyaCFW Helper.

What's new?

  • RSA checking for /sys/HWINFO_S.dat has been patched out. This means the region can now be changed (for JPN, USA, EUR, and AUS NANDs), as well as NAND backups from any console now useable!
    • If you get Error: 1-2435-8325, the bootloader has not been updated with the new patch. If you have not re-run hiyaCFW Helper, please do so in order for the patch to take effect.
  • hiyaCFW will no longer function if SD card is write-locked.

Known bugs

  • Changing the region on a JPN NAND will cause touch input to not function.
  • When using ntrboot, modcrypted DSiWare apps are not launchable. Non-modcrypted applications are still launchable, such as homebrew (ex. TWiLight Menu++). This may be fixed in the future, either by hiyaCFW or an ntrboot .gcd file.

UPDATE 3/8/2020: CHN Launcher .tmd has been added. (thanks to @R-YaTian)
UPDATE 3/31/2020: KOR Launcher .tmd has been added, as well as a new launcher patch for KOR, and an updated patch for CHN Launcher that fixes touch screen input! (thanks to @R-YaTian)

To update, just replace hiya.dsi on the SD root, with the one from the 7z file, in for SDNAND SD card.

What's new?

  • You can now have both top and bottom splash screens!
    Call the .bmp files splashTop.bmp and splashBottom.bmp, and put them in sd:/hiya/.
  • If the Launcher .tmd is detected as larger than 0x208 bytes, the extra data will be trimmed out.
  • The blue and red colors have been added to the config menu!
  • Robz8 has been changed to RocketRobz.

Known bug

  • When (custom) splash is enabled, after exiting config, the splash screen has some partially overlapping tiles.

v1.3.2

UPDATE 8/31/2019: Added .ips patch for Chinese iQue consoles! Note that touch input does not work.
UPDATE 11/6/2018: Renamed bootcode.dsi to hiya.dsi for Unlaunch 1.8 (and later).
UPDATE 6/6/2018: Added AUS Launcher .tmd.
UPDATE 7/5/2018: Added Unlaunch 0.9 compatible bootcode.dsi

ATTENTION UNLAUNCH 0.9 (and later) USERS!

bootcode.dsi has been updated for HiyaCFW to work on latest Unlaunch! As of Unlaunch 0.9, Unlaunch now loads arm9 binary in a similar manner to official software. This means we can't skip loading something to the area reserved for arm9's decrypted secure area in arm9 ram. I've added a bootstub to arm9 binary and loaded the arm9 binary to a higher ram address (the bootstub moves it back minus the blank secure area data) to get around the issue.

Hopefully at some point in the near future we can just have it compile to use a slightly higher entry point in arm9 ram so we don't have to use a bootstub post compile. We'll probably wait until the next Unlaunch update to determine if we need to do this or not.

What's new?

  • Now checks for the size of Launcher's .tmd.
    If it bigger than 0x208 bytes (can be caused by having Unlaunch in the .tmd), a message will be shown, saying to replace it with a clean one.
  • EUR and JPN Launcher .tmds now bundled!
  • Now reads bootloader.nds from the hiya folder.
    If you have bootloader.nds on the SD card root, please move it into the hiya folder.
