If an exploit is found and it's in a 3rd party game, Nintendo really can't just pull it the second the exploit is found. Doing so would more than likely piss off the devs behind the game. So they need to update either the system or the game, in an attempt to fix the exploit. If the exploit is still not fixed, then they pull the game.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They need to know everything about the exploit and also work with the devs to fix the issue. Most likely the delays with the DSiWare downgrades is because it required so much effort to setup and paid games. Which really bought them some more time to push out updates to the system.

What are you talking about pirate fieldrunner and use it to get a legit copy? The game was only pulled from Europe. It's still in the US as far as I know.

    i dont know why tv manufactures put the hdmi ports in dumb locations so the cables have to stick out, and then down, putting strain on the ports. Instead of having the ports along the bottom edge of the tv facing downwards.
