So I have used my Original Ds for a long time and still use it today and it is in perfect condition. My question does this game show any signs of feature exclusive to the dsi for example : using the camera to take pictures and such. I am upgrading to the dsi , I just needed to be sure that I can still use my old ds with this game.

The Japanese version of PSZ came out before the DSi and so was not developed with any of the DSi-specific features in mind. It is highly unlikely that Sega would add features to PSZ for the US release

What I want most is for PSZ to use WPA encryption for Wi-Fi connections (it has to be done at the game level. Just because the DSi will support WPA doesn't mean a thing if the games were not coded to utilize it). I have still never been online with my Jp copy of PSZ because of the DS only supported WEP.. and if you use WEP you might as well just turn off your Wi-Fi security


A sneakier way I'd like to use the DSi's SD card feature is if someone could find a way to back-up the Jp PSZ's save data and then convert it to US PSZ save data so I don't lose any of my characters when I get the US release. But this seems unlikely since saved data is saved on the cart itself and not the memory card (like the PSP does)

I use WEP and pretty much nobody hacks into my wireless system. Then again, it's probably because people around my area don't really have the knowledge or the patience to try to hack into the security I have on it.

Fortunately, I can monitor/log what traffic is hitting it...but I do know what you mean. I'd love to use WPA across the board, but I have too many devices left that don't work with WPA.

WEP at least offers some protection from people trying to connect to any open Wi-Fi network they can find, but if someone actually wants to get into your network it offers next to no protection. I'm not talking "they can break in after an hour of packet sniffing", I mean "they can break in in seconds"

I don't think in my area there are the kind of people wondering around who like to access other people's wifi hotspots just for fun (other than my former roommate), but it feels comforting to at least have some kind of security than none at all. Like locking your door with just a chain lock just because you live in an area with trustworthy people vs having a real lock on your door

The Nintendo DSi was released almost two months before PS0 in Japan. However, as said, there aren't any exclusive features. It'll be the same whatever you play it on.

As for WPA, only DSi specific content will be using it.

Erm, what PSZ download?

Was there something released for PSZ as an update? I don't recall hearing about this...

Any details would be appreciated!

I suppose it is possible there might be a second PS0 down the road that would utilize the DSi's upgraded features better, but I wouldn't hold my breath entirely for it...

I'll be getting the dsi before I get this game, thanks for the news, albeit bad, it was helpful. ^_^

I wouldn't keep your old DS because most Gamestops in america will give you 50 bucks off of your DSi if you trade your original DS in for it.
