I guess I am. You say that it would take an intractable amount of time to break a public key cyptosystem. I kinda think its not as impossibly long as most people think. My only support for this is opinion formulated after spending 5 months of class learning only RSA and the stupid thing about prime numbers. I can never prove it cuz I aint that smart.

In any case I think its fairly out of topic to be talking about crypto statistics in a topic about pirate DS carts.

As for the rest of the thread, why is everyone talking about Starforce and cracking? You think I would bother mentioning cracking methods here?

Point taken , and to steer this back to our topic, these DS carts are prove enough that the cartridge encryption is intact. Like Satanduck so skillfully points out, you'll still need your DS flashed to run any of these cloned "goodness".

djinn, i'm quite sure i saw this catridges back in malaysia in february. most shops in sw and mv carried it..

Kuching also got fake cartridge for ds.

can find fake cartidge for DS in kuching? or u r talking abt GBA? kenyalang kah ?

no, ds cartridge. saw one at wisma satok.
nintendog game. donno still available or not.

err wats the difference between pirated and original game?
what if i accidentally bought the pirated cart?

if your machine is not "flashed". it won't boot. (unless you got passme,superkey & etc)

Speaking of which, the pirates have landed. Saw the New Super Mario Bros going for RM 80 in Sungei Wang.

Don't worry about not being able to distinguish between the original and the pirated version. It's pretty darn obvious. The cover looks as if it was printed using a standard inkjet printer.
