DS Misc > Bomberman ds download play

My friend has a supercard but uses it for reasons of which shouldn't be discussed here however;

My DS lite is now unflashed ready to be sent off to Nintendo for repair and
another friend has an unflashed DS lite. The host used a backup bomberman (patched for supercard) and both unflashed DSs downloaded the game fine.

From what I understand there is an RSA check for DS download play to prevent piracy or unofficial code. Doesn't this mean a modified bomberman could run through wifime on newer DSs, or am I missing something?

I see no way to answer why it worked without teaching others how to pirate.

Oh, so it's not unique that it works on unflashed newer firmware DSs? I thought backups/pirates had a problem with DS download play because of the RSA check.

Thought I'd found the solution to wifime2. Oh well!

All I can say is that it is possible that some of the pirate patchers are smart enough to know how to leave DS Download Play segments unchanged.
