Try to make DSiWare work (YOU NEED A 3DS WITH HAX!)

So I've been working on some DSiWare things, and I've been able to patch Flipnote Studio and some other things; here's how

You need:
  • A 3DS with Luma3DS CFW running (most likely A9LH with sysNAND)
  • FBI on your 3DS
  • An NDS copy of your DSiWare (if you can get the CIA, decompress it and get the APP file with an NDS header (should be the ONLY app file in there)
  • make_cia for the 3DS
  • AdminalCurtiss' WfcPatcher
First, make the initial CIA of the DSiWare, by running "make_cia --srl=FILE.NDS", and install via FBI. Then, go to the titles section and find it; look for the title ID and note it somewhere. In my case, it's 000300044b475556. Then, run the NDS file through the WfcPatcher (it will tell you there was an error, ignore it!). Then, copy it to your SD. Next, go to SD, press A on the file, and click copy. Go to TWL NAND -> title, and then break the title ID in half, so in my case 0003000 -> 44b475556, then go to data, and rename the APP file to <name>.old, and then hit a on <current directory>, and select paste. REname the NDS to the previous filename (without .old), exit FBI and launch.

If you're wondering why the hell it's this convoluted, the answer is I do not know; trying to use a patched NDS to make the CIA made a white screen CIA for me, always.
FUN FACT: DSiWare uses the 3DS system settings internet UNLESS there's a DS connection in it's settings, in which case it'll use DS Connections.
