    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Memory Pit is the exploit used to launch Twilight Menu++ from the Camera app
    Twilight Menu++ is a file manager and launcher used to launch DSiWare apps, DS games, and homebrew apps like dumptool and Unlaunch Installer.
    Dumptool is used for dumping the internal NAND which is mandatory for HiyaCFW installation as the internal NAND is in extremely poor quality compared to SD Cards and can break very easily especially if files are constantly written to them.
    Unlaunch is a bootloader replacement and allows booting any CFW from the SD card, which also increases reliability on the system.
    HiyaCFW and Lazy DSi downloader are Optional.
    UPDATE: The tutorial for HiyaCFW is no longer available at dsi.cfw.guide. It has now moved to wiki.ds-homebrew.com/hiyacfw/....
