Any way to hack a DS to work on a WPA network?

I'd have suggested Connectify myself if it weren't for that flaw. The developers of Connectify thought they knew better than all of us and omitted WEP support. >_>

I hate presumptuous people like that. Still Connectify works great if you have a DSi...so investing in one won't be a bad idea. I just wish there were more DSi compatible games.

No. This isn't the case at all.

The underlying issue is that the Wireless Hosted Network / Virtual Wifi technology that exists in Windows 7 and makes Connectify possible is purposely designed to only support WPA2 authentication, promoting security at the cost of some older devices (anything pre-2006, I believe) with poor wireless support.

Hacking a DS is not illegal, stealing games is, and that's only depending on your country. Referring to jailbreaking the iPhone, which is legal. I've hacked my DS, it's simple and does NO HARM.

I don't think you should go around preaching these things without backing up your statement. Last I checked it was common for a company to be very against people modifying their systems to do things they shouldn't.

Yeah, but it shouldn't be hard to simply omit authentication altogether. You're opening yourself up to leeches and other things, but there should be an option somewhere to do it regardless. It's up to the consumer to make a decision on such things.

You're not even allowed to do that.

To provide protection for the wireless communications between the computer hosting SoftAP and the devices connecting to the SoftAP, the wireless Hosted Network requires that all devices connected use the WPA2-PSK/AES cipher suite.

Yes, and that's what bothers me the most :(.
