FIRST PRIORITY: Identify what it is that is making specific Flashcards make the game believe it is being run on a legit cart.
I cannot stress how that is probably the single biggest thing people should be looking at.
SECOND PRIORITY: Figure out at what point in boot-up the game goes "Hey, are you legit?" and what memory file is used to store the answer "Yes" or "No".
This probably cannot be done through hex-matching. Hex memory is USUALLY randomized, which means everytime you boot the game, identical things could have different addresses; at least, a lot of games work like this right now, as a way to prevent hacking because a single guy spread the address you have to change. However, if this does not apply to DS games, then more power to whoever finds this address.
THIRD PRIORITY: Find the event counter.
This should be as easy as running a memory check of all values. Scan again for UNCHANGED values, five or six times, to eliminate as much noise as possible. Then go into a house. Then scan for values that have gone up by 1 since the last scan. Leave the house. Scan for values that have gone up by 1 again. Repeat this a few times until you narrow it down to only a few values, and begin testing.
Anyway, that's all I've got. I'm not a hacker, just a noobling programmer. Those're my thoughts.

Is it possible for someone to edit the first post with just a few lines of: "The game already works for such and such card" so people won't feel inclined to hop in here just to say whether or not there card is working?

Has any one been bold enough to dissasemble a cartridge and see if the cartridge has any additional part in it , that might be talking to the pokewalker? Also does any one know if a pokewalker will interface with a "pirated"copy?

I agree with you, I'm mostly only caring for the NDSTT-working patch, as unintentionally selfish as that sounds.

Has anyone thought of this yet?
