Yea you're right.
I think the passme3 is the same as a superkey right? If so, I'm sure you can because I just flashed my DS lite with my superkey and supercard micro sd like 5 minutes ago for the first time. It was fairly easy but scary at the same time. I'm glad I did it though!!!
i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.
I have a few of those boat anchors in my basement I tried giving away but no one wanted them, So anyone close to Columbus, Ohio area that wants them, (26", 2x 19") please come get, for free.
Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
