Hacking Proof TX used code stolen from #reswitched

[kamesenin888]

Uh, it was always open sourced.

nope the first version wasnt open source, I was there man, I never used it because it lacked the important thing a backup loader

 

[Pickle_Rick]

at first it was closed source guys, then they used a different approach, but whatever

It was not meant, at the beginning, to be open-source, so you can expect some messed up code here.

It's the original rxTools source code (just with a bunch of improvements over time.)

God I hate you GW fanboys who have their dick shoved so far up your ass. I didn't even say anything negative about GW in this thread. You're just salty because you're wrong and you know it.

Is hacking the switch considered illegal? (Not talking about TX, just in general)

 

[MadonnaProject]

Well, if you'd hurried it the hell up, maybe TX wouldn't have bee so popular. But whilst the scene babies were whining and moaning and playing all "I have too many morals to release a backup loader" someone took their thunder.

Depends on the country and what you're doing with the hack.

Against ToS, but not illegal.

What you do with it then can be legal or not.

Should someone in ReSwitch Team locate TX member then call the police, problem solve. For now just shit talk,

Again, Gateway was in a similar situation to TX. Now with free and open-source alternatives, Gateway hasn't provided support in years. Now I'm not saying TX will stop supporting their product like Gateway because they've got a better reputation and history, but being first doesn't always equal the best.

Cool and awesome. I'd be fine if they were stealing code if the product was free, but it isn't.

The CFW is free, the backup loader is not. AFAIK the stolen code isn't in the backup loader. :x

Okay, so apparently I have to explain this comment. Since people love connecting imaginary dots for no reason at all. Notice how he said-

I was being facetious and pointing out that the CFW is free and the backup loader was not. I never mentioned, implied or even remotely hinted at that being an exception to the rule. Seriously, this forum.

Gateway was spotty with support since its birth.

Again, that's not how the GPLv2 works.

Show me where I implied it did. Thanks.

Scene "babies" as you call them are at least producing something that tries to be fair to everyone (including Nintendo) while trying to involve a whole community.

Their "moral" is what keep a scene running legally. If you wonder why not everything is always released for the public look no further, it's because of TX behavior and comments like yours.

 

[Centergaming]

Seriously, I'm getting a bit confused and what is the meaning of "open-sourced" code?

 

[Draxzelex]

Gateway was spotty with support since its birth.

I won't argue that and TX is already up to 1.2 in about a week, but its still a fallacy to say that they're the best because they were first.

That it is.

IDK, the fact you dismissed it because "the cfw is free". You still have to provide attribution and make the source available.

Funny how most of you complaining about this are using sx os to steal/pirate Nintendo code.
