Does StreetPass still work if a DS game is suspended/sleeping in a 3DS?

Question

I am playing Solatorobo: Red the Hunter (which is a DS title) on my 3DS, and I often just shut the 3DS while I am walking around (thus suspending the game).

It seems, however, that I never manage to pick people up via StreetPass while I have a DS game suspended in my 3DS.

Is this actually the case? Is there something about suspending a DS game that prevents StreetPass from working? Or have I just been unlucky?

Answer

No - StreetPass will not work if a (regular) DS title is suspended.

StreetPass will work if a 3DS title is suspended with the system on, closed, and transmitting wireless. (I've had this happen with Ocarina of Time.)
