The Nintendo DSi came out in late 2008. Within days of the product's arrival on retail shelves, there was a reported hacking of the device by a Japanese YouTube user. While the information is in Japanese, it does not explain how the device was hacked. It does provide some evidence that it could be done, but the information has not been broken into the mainstream tech blogs.

Background
The hand-held Nintendo DSi was released in the fourth quarter of 2008 as part of Nintendo's efforts to combat piracy of their video games. The DSi was to be more secure than it's predecessors. Within days of the release, the Japanese guy behind Yasu Software released a YouTube video showing a proof of concept where he reportedly hacked the DSi. According to an English translation of his site, he has debated about releasing the information behind the hack and how it was done, but has decided against it.GBAtemp.net: Hello World!

Initially, third party flash cartridges were not compatible with the DSi. However, about a month after the DSi hit retail stores, Acekard released a DSi compatible cartridge. The cartridge allows the user to use homebrew programs and applications on the DSi. According to reports, it will even run Linux through a Acekard flash cartridge.Hack a Day: Nintendo DSi gets ... flash cart (December 3, 2008)
