View Full Version : PassMe Support for New DS Firmware

New DSes seem to be shipped with new firmware that makes current PassMe not work. Loopy figured out how to circumvent the new protection, but the exploit is DS card specific and requires SRAM in the GBA slot (i.e. GBAMP won’t work). I can probably fit in support for about four cards into a single PassMe. Also, there will be PassMes with different sets of supported games. So what Natrium 42 needs to do is for you to run the attached .ds.gba on bootable DSes using different DS cards and tell him (Via MaxConsole Forums is ok) the numbers on the screen. This will help him add support for those cards.

So what I need people to do right now is to run the attached .ds.gba on bootable DSes using different DS cards and tell me the numbers on the screen. This will help me add support for those cards.

You need to run this from a GBA flashcard without any use of DS menu loaders, since they might clear or corrupt the memory that is being searched for the exploit. Consequently, there is no .nds version of the program.

Some PassMes (or clones) are not supported, because a specific bit in the header is set, resulting in scrambled memory. This bit doesn’t affect homebrew in any way, but it makes it impossible to explore memory left over from loading a DS card. This program will tell when a PassMe (or clone) is not supported.

Please post your results here or email them to me. I will then add support for most popular games and put new PassMes up for sale.

Many thanks!

Note: This program will whitescreen for a while before showing numbers. This is normal, since searching takes some time.


Please use the forum thread link below to report the numbers on screen, the download is also attached in the forum thread below!

First , i tried to get the file from maxconsole , seems their zip is damaged.

Then , it doesn't seem to contain PASS or DSBooter , so i had to hold A+B+X+Y when booting (i'm using Flashme). Then the white screen , i didn't think it was going to take like 10 seconds! Good thing you do mention it taking time!

My Cart: Flash2Advance 256mbit

SWI AF 00000000
SWI FF 00000000
SWI A4 00000000
SWI EA 00000000
BX LR 00000000
CRC 7D1ACF56
GAME 45464D41 00

The ds card inserted is metroid demo.

Hope this helps!
