I consider this highly plausible.

You're dumb as dirt. Look at the status codes on the domain. It is not possible for a domain owner to apply two of those codes themselves. The registar has to apply them, and they only apply them when there is a dispute between the registar and the domain owner.

I refer you back to https://gbatemp.net/threads/team-xecuter-websites-down.535042/page-24#post-8580420. New information must change what you think, or you are just useless as a person.

I recently just got a Switch, unfortunately it's patched. I just hope all this doesn't effect how long it will take for an exploit for patched systems.
TX said there will be in the near future. I took that to mean not until the new Switchs are launched (we don't want Nintendo patching a new exploit when they will have new consoles rolling out and have to find yet another exploit).
Maybe Nintendo are indeed coming down hard on piracy and especially the people making money off of it before they launch the new Switch, mid 2019 iirc, so we're not far from it.
CFW for ipatched consoles on 4.x is coming out very soon from what I’ve heard. TX isn’t the one releasing it though

sorry if anyone wants to find the "what im assuming is a backup site" go to modchip central and they have a way to download and activate the xsos.
Or you could have just read the OP of this very thread which has been updated with info about the new domain two days ago.

they enable it, they don't contain nintendo code though, go figure

True, but playing pirated games is technically using the developers code which you didn't buy not do you have rights to use without buying. So allowing said pirated games to run is in the same bucket as using Nintendo's code to run them. Still using code you don't own. Call it nit picking, pulling at straws or whatever you want, but linking to patches that allow you play pirated games aka using developers code you didn't purchase isn't any better than using Nintendo's code to run said games.

Plus what code exactly are they enabling to run the pirated games? Is it their own code that they developed or code that just unlocked Nintendo's "game launcher"? This is me honestly asking because I only use Atmo for emulation cause it does run better.

they code tx uses to run xci files is allegedly nintendo's code. this is the reason no other cfw runs xci because nobody can make open source code with copyrighted code.

Gotcha. So what code is being used to run NSP? Honestly curious since NSP are basically eshop downloads which I assume also need Nintendo's code to run.

Clearly if people are so worried about piracy, they wouldn't allow either since XCI are more likely to be backups people actually made from their own carts. Where NSP are 99% downloaded from the internet. Just seems kinda funny that only "some" piracy is allowed even though all piracy is allowing developers code to run that was not purchased by each person using it.

They're launched the same way as NCAs are normally launched

title installers """""install""""" them by opening the pfs0, copy the NCAs wherever, and registering them. It's probably a bit more complicated than that, never bothered looking into it because I don't give a crap about piracy shit, but eh.

They do use some of Nintendo's stuff, literally everything does (ex. everything uses FS for filesystem shit), but the difference is that none of this stuff includes any of Nintendo's code, unlike Gateway's xci thing

well the sigpatches are not part of atmos and are considered to violate copyrights.
I think the key difference is that free cfw devs act within the law as they create their own code.
Is best to leave morality out of the conversation as morals and laws have nothing to do with each other.

Please, shut this needlesss thread with it voting. It adds nothing to this Forum.

CFW in any form has been used for tinkering and or Piracy, Nobody is using Atmosphere etc for running the shareware version of doom on the switch alone, helle even Emulation is debatable for being Piracy. So please kill the drama.

Use what ever cfw you want , pay for is or not etc, just to note Team Executer is alaive and well, they had a site up from the moment the old one went down.

This thread will remain open. The rest of your take is unrelated to the topic at hand.

The topic at hand is the seizure (by either the registar or other entities, nothing else is known except that the siezure occured) of the Team-Xecuter (aka StargateNX, aka Gateway3DS, aka Stargate, aka True Blue, aka the scene group Paradox) domains. Another valid topic would be why one organization needs so many brands. Seriously, it's exhausting.

They clearly stated they are moving from their excisting domains. So I am on topic as this also what I stated, did you even look at the poll on this thread? Why so childish?

A bit like : "Here, I build a gun don't kill with it, yet this is what I build it for". same with cfw, it would be ignorant to think otherwise.
The 'legal" devs provided the "piratedevs" with something to work their "pirate" things on.
No excuse, it a conspiracy I tell you.

They never stated that. They pretended it was a normal server move. They never admitted that the domain was seized, so the topic at hand is 'why can't TX be honest with us?'

TX gets what their own actions merit. If they behaved vaguely ethically, none of this would be happening.

I am annoyed they're saying is just a server upgrade yet here we are 5 days later and still no "upgrade"
