It’s official: the Nintendo DSi has already been hacked a mere days after it has gone on sale in Japan. Though no current generation DS homebrew flashcart will work on the new DSi, this video proof shows that there is definitely some weakness in the DSi that can be exploited to run custom homebrew. Though it’s not very fancy, I’d still give mad props to anyone who can hack a DSi to display every hacked device’s first words: “Hello, world!” The hacker to credit? Yasu, the author of YSMenu. Check out his YouTube video above to see it in action. Nothing interesting is happening on the touchscreen… yet. Like a tiny seed grows into a magnificent tree, this little app will soon be blooming beautiful homebrews left and right.
