Running Nintendo DS Homebrew

Deeper into the passthroughs
Now there are a few things you should know about the different methods of *Me’s. I will try not to get technical since that would only confuse people new to the scene.

PassMe and PassMe2
There are two versions of PassMe: the original PassMe from Natrium42, and PassMe2. A PassMe(v1) only works if your DS has firmware version 1,2 or 3.

A workaround was made and the PassMe2 was born. There is one difficulty with the PassMe2 and that is that it requires SRAM (memory) on the GBA media that you boot your homebrew code from.

  • PassMe/PassMe2 leaves your warranty intact.
  • PassMe and PassMe2 require an original DS game to work (PassMe2 needs to be flashed to the original game you use).
  • PassMe/PassMe2′s are made by different companies under different names, SuperPass, SuperKey, NeoKey, etc., but if you can, try to buy them from a developer and thus supporting homebrew development
