# Hello! I’m planning to make a Homebrew DSi app! If you’re not well introduced, Homebrew is a form of Jailbreaking systems. DSi Homebrew apps are coded with C/C++ for what I’ve been able to research. This app I’m trying to make is supposed to emulate .UF2 files. You know, like those MakeCode Arcade files it exports? I have preparated some graphics. The app icon is ready as well! I hope you can help! ![New Piskel (4)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/9/997f3bb06eb2f00e4cbc2d74581654fa5a25645c.gif) ---

I’m telling you guys, the app has **not** started development. The graphics have though. I need someone that can code C or C++. For what I’ve heard, that’s the language DSi HB apps are coded in! I really need help on this. ---

By the way, I’m coding an app (for MakeCode) that saves inputs that are “Nametag” “Region” “Language” and “User Description” using the “Better-Settings” extension and “Control” by @Sarge (@S0m3randomguy) for the user to then, enter the device _(if that’s how u do it)_ and rip the save data, and tell the user if their ram size is WAAYY too small for the program to work like intended. ---

I forgot to say this, but there is a program called “ds game maker” where you can make ds games (you can use C or a visual programming language). ---
