My guess is that once the key is out, there is going to be a scandal of similar proportions to the HD DVD AES key leak. Anyone who remembers the event a few years back, the key was leaked online and was short enough to write on a single line. Fearing the "legal gray area", both website owners and lawyers of copyright holders began to take measures against it being available online, deleting posts, banning members, or threatening non-compliant websites with lawsuits. This triggered the Streisand Effect, in which people took huge force in further distributing the key en masse, putting it up in pictures, vids, and some people were even reported to have tattooed it on their body. Anti-pirates just gave up because there was no way to control something like that, and the key had spread so far and wide that it was most certainly compromised.
The leak of a public key, though legal gray area, would quickly sway in favor of having it up. The key is afterall, just a number. And who in the world can prevent that number from being said or written over and over?
I am very excited about the news. If it is possible to encrypt or digitally sign files, then we may soon see the possibility of custom DSi firmwares, and if code is written to run software off the SD slot directly, the death of flashcarts.

If it is possible. A creative way to install custom firmware is to create a DNS bypass, like the GTS exploit, and make it download from there. I doubt that'd work, though, since addresses are hardcoded in the BIOS, but it might, seeing as it is the same for the games.Searinox said:
Okay I've read the past pages. If it doesn't allow digital signing it's kind of pointless. So apparently the PRIVATE key is the holy grail. At least I'm hoping that with this key we're one step closer to the ultimate hax. And when THAT key makes it public, THEN the aforementioned drama will ensue.
well 1 baby step at a time i guess..... although finding the common key is not exactly a baby step since it took so long. At this point I really do not even care if it runs pirated games I would be more into it for the home brew that I have yet to experience since the two flash carts I have bought did not work.... like they were actually broken no joke.
From what I can remember, the DSi actually talks to the cart, asks for the password, and based on the 'response', it decides whether or not to allow access to dsi mode.solofrags said:

No, the way I worded my post is a bit off, now that I look at it.t377y000 said:
For the life of me, I can't remember(WHERE, or WHO said) the post concerning how the DSi decides to allow a game to access DSiMode.
It's a challenge. The DSi supplies the cart with a string that is encrypted, and the flashcart must decrypt the string and send the result back. I wonder if the key can at least be used to add DSi mode support "en masse" to flashcarts.

Well i hope so if someone can find that "password" somehere in the system files or something i then we will get flash carts in dsi mode.

Right now you completely made me start thinking of This picture (For the record, there is an f-bomb in the text.. no clue why I put up a warning.. XD ) and start laughing at itProtoKun7 said:

What's the point of "confirming" games you know will get released. Like Nintendo "confirming" a Zelda sequel. "We can't be sure Nintendo is working on a new Zelda game, or if a new Zelda game will ever be released, until they officially confirm it."+1 -
