Install unlaunch on development units (pandas)

This goes without saying, but BACK UP YOUR NAND FIRST! Backups are especially important with rare hardware like this.

For reasons beyond my head, unlaunch will fail to uninstall on dev units. It sounds like it's something to do with exploitable titles blanking out a register and unlaunch not being happy with it. Thankfully you don't need exploitable titles on dev units!

  1. Download a DSiWare type homebrew capable of booting an SRL off of the SD card. I suggest godmode9i
  2. Download maketad.exe. This can be found in any copy of the TwlSDK (TwlSDK/tools/bin/maketad.exe) or your favorite archive of dsi development and factory software (you should probably put exactly those last 7 words into google)
  3. Run maketad like so, replacing "input SRL" with the path to your homebrew: maketad.exe <input SRL> -s -o program.tad
  4. Copy program.tad to your DSi SD card
  5. Download and copy the latest unlaunch to your SD card
  6. Boot TwlNmenu on your DSi and install program.tad
  7. Boot your newly installed program and use that to launch unlaunch
  8. Install unlaunch
  9. Sucess!

tl;dr boot a copy of unlaunch from an installed homebrew (specifically set as a system app for full NAND access) and don't use exploits.

If you're wondering why this guide doesn't install an unlaunch TAD directly, unlaunch is missing the TID needed for maketad. Hex editing is a bit too complicated for some people, so using another app to boot just makes more sense.

WARNING: Unlaunch sets the launcher as read only, so you'll need to uninstall unlaunch in order to update via TwlSystemUpdater or TwlNmenu.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
