Nintendo's Masato Kuwahara, project lead on the Nintendo DSi hardware, revealed that games playable only on the latest revision Nintendo DS were in the works at this year's GDC. Those first DSi-only games will hit this fall, sources tell Kotaku.
Software that will only work on a Nintendo DSi will join titles playable on a Nintendo DS or DS Lite that also feature DSi-specific enhanced capabilities, like Ubisoft's Jam Sessions 2 and My Healthy Cooking Coach. Games and apps that will only be playable on a DSi will be visually distinct from past product, sources say.
Those DSi-only games will be packaged in all-white game cases, making them stand out from the standard dark gray cases of currently available Nintendo DS games. Those cases will sport a warning that the software is only compatible with the Nintendo DSi. DSi-only game cards themselves will use a similar white plastic, but it's unclear if those re-colored cards will have any difficulty fitting into a DS or DS Lite cartridge slot.
Another unknown is if DSi-only software will take advantage of the expanded tech specs unique to the Nintendo DSi.
It appears that, like Wii MotionPlus, that Nintendo will be letting third-party publishers take the lead in offering DSi-only software. Nintendo itself has offered plenty of downloadable DSiWare games that are system specific, but it has yet to announce any DSi-only retail games as part of its future lineup. Still a risky proposition, considering the comparatively smaller userbase of the DSi platform and the possibility for consumer confusion.
We contacted Nintendo for comment on the introduction of DSi-only games this year, but the company did not respond to requests before publishing.

DCEmu Forum Member Predator messaged me with news of a DS Game not here on DCEmu and maybe not known to most Homebrew sites.
First off a looksy at the picture
Protista is an interactive toy where player-created creatures compete for supremacy of the Petri dish. Protista, an experiment in interactivity, challenges both the right and left sides of the brain. The creative side is unleashed to design and build an assortment of creatures in a full-featured creature editor. Protista tasks the analytic side to program the creatures with a graphical programming language. Then, the whole brain can sit back and watch its creations battle it out in a struggle of microscopic proportions. To Play Protista, you will need a DS and be able to download onto a chip!
Clark Morse - Physics, race mode, and battle mode
Corey Ross - Graphics, game framework, and creature editor
Jonathan Bryant - Input, menu framework, and AI editor
This was found at Digipen which seems to an excellent resource for PC Homebrew Games, theres over 200 to choose from, im off to check them all for more Console Homebrew Games.

News/release from Dion:
While busy doing all kinds of stuff I somehow quite spontaneously decided to go back and polish Dojo Rumble some more. Previously soundless, it now not only features sound, but also some kickin' tunes, a few updated sprites and a new 'endless' mode. Also new is a small reward for finishing easy or badass mode: namely, a red outfit with matching rumbling-red shurikens.
If you are not familiar with any rumbling in the dojo:
Fight on both screens to kick the monsters out of the dojo before your master comes back. Use your shuriken and dashes to increase your chains and fill up your 'badassery meter'. When your chains go high enough you can activate 'rumble time', which allows you to chain even more precise.
Have a look-see:
Game by Dion Koster.
Music by András "slyspy" Kövér.
Various sound effects picked up from Freesound.org and by:
Syna Max
Mich3D
Schluppipuppie
Abyssmal

Sven a member of Team Hackmii posted this on his site regarding DSI Hacking:
Lately I've been playing around with a new toy of mine - a Nintendo DSi. Since games are boring most of the time anyway I bought it with the intention of hacking it.
I tried to solder wires to my DSi's nand flash like scanlime did, blew a fuse and repaired it just to figure out that I somehow broke more stuff - it gets stuck at a "0000FEFE" error screen now 
Since a SPI EEPROM on the wifi board is somehow invovled in the boot process I decided to dump it and compare it to others using a cheap FPGA board I bought and a FTDI chip.
However, FTDI's mac drivers seem to behave pretty odd for me (random kernel panics, the port suddenly disappears,...) and I'm apparently not the only one having these problems.
Luckily, there is libftdi which is a userspace library for various FTDI chips - this means no more kernel panics for me 
Apparently there's also a python binding but I was unable to find it so I just decided to write my own. It was a nice project since I also learned how Python actually works and how you can write extensions for it. After a few hours of hacking my small wrapper was already working fine.
marcan was nice enough to host my git repository on his server - feel free to clone and test it.
I still want to write a PySerial wrapper class so that I don't have to rewrite my Python client. (This is also the reason why the wrapper registers pyftdi._core - I want to put the emulation class inside the pyftdi namespace).

Nice Article from Hackmii member Bushing:
Manufacturers of consumer electronics are constantly revising their designs over the lifetime of each product, generally for four reasons:
Yield improvements — fix flaws that caused lots of warranty returns
Cost reduction — use cheaper or fewer parts, so that profit margin increases or the retail cost can be lowered (or both)
Part refresh — sometimes manufacturers stop making parts (for example, 64MB memory chips), so they’ll start using “better” chips because they are the only ones now available
Security — anti-modchip modifications
Most people only think about the last one, but the first three are far more common. I think Sony has most actively revised their designs — aren’t there something like 30+ revs of the PS1, 15+ revs of the PS2, and several of the PSP and PS3? Microsoft had 5 or 6 revs of the Xbox1, and 3 of the Xbox360. Nintendo has had relatively few — perhaps this is because they have never sold their consoles at a loss, so they have less incentive to retool their factories to bring their costs down. (It’s rather expensive to redesign a PCB and then retool your factories to make new ones, and you add some risk of creating new hardware problems and increasing your failure rate.)
Focussing back on our Wii, we can consider the following things as being more or less independent:
Updates to the disc drive
Updates to the “big chips” (Hollywood, Broadway)
Updates to the main PCB
We’ve seen several updates to the disc drive; these are so well-known that people even put up entire websites that track them! Off the top of my head, there was DMS/D2A, D2B (like D2A, but changed mask ROM on one of the chips — probably for reason #1), D2B with cut legs (reason #4), D2C (reason #4), D2C2 (reason #4), D2E (unknown — reason #1?), D2E + epoxy (reason #4), “D2nothing” (perhaps reason #2, but most likely reason #4). Clearly, these were mostly motivated by anti-piracy concerns.
We have also seen a few revisions to the Broadway and Hollywood chips. The oldest photo I can find online of these chips is this one, dated November 17, 2006:

Newly released today
features
One of the first survival/horror games designed specifically for Wii, Cursed Mountain creates a terrifying setting in a stylized, atmospheric manner
With advanced graphics, Cursed Mountain places the player in a realistic Himalayan environment. Players will immerse themselves in the local Buddhist traditions and rituals. Everything in the game is based on real world facts and research…except of course for the outbreak of restless souls
As players ascend the mountain, they will clearly see the summit in the distance, a looming reminder of their final destination, and they can also look behind to see how far they’ve come
Designed to mimic the physical aspects of sacred prayer rituals, mantras, and gestures of Buddhism, combat is comprised of gestures that release the spirits from the curse. In addition, Cursed Mountain takes full advantage of Wii functionality, supporting the Wii Remote speaker, rumble and motion-sensitivity in a variety of triggered action events that mimic natural movements, such as climbing, running and balancing
Players investigate the disappearance of their brother who vanished while searching for an ancient relic in the Himalayas. Players climb to the top of Chomolonzo to discover the fate of their brother as well as to stop the curse that’s interrupting Samsara – the Buddhist concept of reincarnation
As players climb higher, the mountain itself becomes an enemy. Prone to the travails of altitude sickness and oxygen deprivation, players may not be able to tell the difference between real enemies and hallucinated ones
description
Standing in Lhando, the eerily deserted village at the base of the Sacred Mountain of the Himalayas, Chomolonzo, an icy chill hits your veins. The summit looming in the distance holds the answers to your brother’s disappearance, and you plan to bring him back – dead or alive. Cursed Mountain is a survival/horror game designed specifically for Wii. Players will take on the role of Eric Simmons as he tracks down his brother, who went missing on a trek into the Himalayas to find an ancient Buddhist artifact. A sensible man, when Eric first encounters the angry spirits of the dead, he dismisses them as hallucinations caused by altitude sickness. But as he ascends the mountain, it becomes clear that something is very wrong... A curse has been placed on the mountain; the dead spirits of the local monks and villagers are trapped in the realm of the afterlife or bardo, unable to reach Nirvana or start a new life cycle. Stuck in limbo, the restless spirits are very angry...

Bushing posted this on the Hackmii website:
A few months back, we started getting reports of “unsoftmoddable Wiis”, aka “LU64+” (among other things). Normally, I wouldn’t care, but we discovered that our HackMii Installer would not work on any of those Wiis. I started making the claim that this was due to an innocuous hardware change, coinciding with the release of boot2v4, but I never really explained why. Here’s my explanation.

WiiCrazy/I.R.on has updated Crazy Intro to v0.8
Crazy intro is an autoboot homebrew to use along with Preloader.
You can use Crazy intro to customize the opening of your wii. You can display your selected picture and play the music of your choice at each start of your wii. Also you can assign your frequently used channels to the directional buttons on the wiimote. You can use B button to quickly access homebrew channel.
Changes
0.8 - 28/08/2009 - http://www.tepetaklak.com/data/CrazyIntrov0.8.rar
Visual settings and button configurations separated. Now you can build & share themes. Each theme has their own folder under crazyintro folder in the sd card. You can select the theme used by editing the crazyintro.xml configuration file. You should use folder name of the theme. Now crazyintro.xml file only contains stuff like shortcuts & selected theme and so on.
All wiimote buttons are now configurable. You can even control what to launch with A and B buttons. Also +, -, 1, 2 buttons are configurable.
You can create complicated shortcuts. Say you don't want your kids messing with the dangerous applications, you can create hidden shortcuts to those applications. They can be a hidden channel or a dol/elf on the sd card. For ex: pressing HOME followed by Left, A, Right, A would take you to any title deleter.
Autoboot function for mp3 playing themes. Boots your chosen shortcut, be it homebrew channel, system menu or any title on your wii... (of course when music stops)
Experimental dol/elf loading feature added, beware there are some compatibility issues in some applications at the moment.
Code is now open source : http://code.google.com/p/crazyintro/
