WFC in Pokemon

    Sorry if this isn't supposed to be here, but I'm really not sure where else to ask this question. I suppose it does relate to flashcarts however.

    See, I've had Pokemon HG for about a year now (downloaded it from Romulation), never bothered trying to hook it up for anything online. Recently though, when I tried to set up WFC with the game, I'd get one of these:

    ERROR CODE: 51300
    Unable to connect to an access point. Confirm Nintendo WFC connection settings and access point settings. For help, visit support.nintendo.com.

    I'm running the game on a DSi, and I find this strange because I can connect to the internet easily when NOT playing the game, but whenever I try to set up WFC with Pokemon, I ALWAYS get this error. I've double-checked the password I've been entering, the SSID, everything. I can't understand what's wrong. Why would the DSi itself be able to connect to the internet, but the Pokemon game be unable to? Is it some ROM issue?

    Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

    Sounds like anti piracy, I heard this happening.

    It may need a patch, which I got no clue on or where, just going from what I seen in the past.

    Oh yeah...

    DSi can be connected to the internet using WPA for surfing net and all

    But playing a DS game you would need a WEP connection..

    Thanks for the quick replies, I'll check out if there's any sort of anti-piracy patch online. Pretty much, I CAN connect to the internet via DSi, Opera Browser and all works with my WEP key. However, whenever I try to set up the WFC with HeartGold, I always get the 51300 error. I've tried changing my WEP Key, tested it out, nothing happened.

    So yeah. DSi can connect online, but HG refuses to accept the same WEP key.
