FlashMe is a modified version of the Nintendo DS firmware that checks the Game Boy Advance slot for DS code, and booting it if it is present. It also removes the signature check in DS Download Play, allowing users to send programs that didn't have Nintendo signatures via WMB. | |||
=== Nintendo's fixes === | |||
Nintendo fixes the vulnerabilities present in firm version 4. They added range checks to the DS card startup code which blocked PassMe devices. They also used a new run address in the signed section of DS Download Play blocking WiFiMe. The BIOS still has a vulnerability that allowed redirection of execution the the GBA SRAM space. (It was also discovered that Nintendo Wi-Fi code overwrites an area of the firmware. The original FlashMe developers didn't know this and Mario Kart DS was bricking people's consoles. | |||
