So, since the DSi can't run old flashcards or DSi mode, I thought having a list of possibilities might give the hackers some ideas.
First a brief explanation of the different modes (so we don't get completely off the wall ideas):
DSi mode will let you access the cameras, ram, and any other DSi addons that were not in the original DS lite/phat.
This seems to be very similar to GBA mode.
Hence: You couldn't have GBA emulators (not to mention you wouldn't have the cart's hardware) and you can't run DSiWare from a current flash card.
So here are some of my ideas and I would ask that anyone clever enough to think some up should post them.
Most ideas will be contradictive. Let others clarify why it would or wouldn't work. If there are ideas that aren't contradictive then we may be on to something.
Idea:
Using wifime for sending some type of loader to bypass security and boot slot1.
Objection:
RSA (or whatever the hell the ds uses) has been updated since DS lite came out so wifime probably won't work anymore
Objection:
Maybe we could slip past RSA by injecting the loader into a XXXX - DS Download Play Dump. However, it would require having a second ds.
Idea:
Make a new passme but let it boot slot1 instead of slot2 (since none exsists).
Idea:
Finding a buffer overflow in the System Menu or Opera Browser.
Or trying a PSP tactic and modding the DSi's battery.
Objection:
I highly doubt the PSP idea will work but it was worth listing for brainstorming's sake.
Idea:
Swapping out the cards quickly while still at the DSi's menu (this might also work for old flashcards)
This has been used across various consoles (regionfree gamecube games on the wii, ps1 backups after using a legit disc, ps2 swapmagic)
Objection: Easily fixable with a firmware update, like the rest of them.
There's my ideas, how about yours?
