    Hacking More Info Regarding Switch (Mariko/Lite) Mods by Team-Xecuter

    They have also jumped the gun in the past and claimed things that were wrong. There are valid reasons to be cautious, especially considering this recent "proof" is that they have a mod chip running on old hardware, and not the new Mariko units that are actually the point of concern.

    Hacking Team-Xecuter Solution coming soon for latest Switch models

    They harassed a developer to try and buy the rights to the Open-GL retroarch. Which is illegal. Don't be daft. They're a shitty company. auto I mean, so far, TX haven't been able to actual hack the Switch without using tools and methods created by the open-source community. XCI and USB...

    Hacking How can you play 3DS roms on a 3DS without Homebrew ?

    I don't get how illegally downloading and playing 3DS ROMs is worse than Homebrew, which is 100% legal. But you're right that no one can force anything on you. However, if you want to play 3DS ROMs, you'll need to hack your device barring using a very crappy flashcard that will definitely get...

    Homebrew Question The REAL Reason why no XCI support outside of SXOS

    The problem with XCI files is the loader makes use of ripped data from a game card that is absolutely copyrighted and 100% illegal to include. I'm sure an XCI loader could be written, but it would be as illegal as the one SX OS uses, so no one is going to make it. NSP files require no stolen...

    Hacking Question Wouldnt it be violating some law to restrict access to downloading the rest of games like L.A. Noire

    I’m going to say that you’re entirely wrong for one simple reason. It is not reasonable to expect a company to maintain servers forever. If you bought this game 10 years from now and the servers didn’t exist, there is no way to reasonably expect access to the full game. You can’t tell a...

    Hacking EU Users: Super Ban - GDPR Template

    Taking that to it’s extreme, is Nintendo required to maintain servers forever because you might need to download data at some point in the future? The answer to that is obviously no. Just because you bought a game that requires a download doesn’t mean anyone is obligated to provide you means to...

    Is Sharing Illegal ?

    Pretty sure you don't actually grasp this. A company doesn't care about a stolen item. That's true. It was already sold, and they don't care anymore. They do, however, care if that theft resulted in an additional quantity of that item existing. The reason piracy and theft differ is because...

    Is Sharing Illegal ?

    That's a terrible analogy, that has literally nothing to do with piracy. Piracy doesn't affect a consumer. You didn't spend time and money designing that car, nor did you set up the manufacturing plants to make it. You wouldn't care if one was magically created for someone else, but the company...

    Hacking Switch Got Hacked?! Should I Buy OR Wait?!

    Seems pretty obvious that he's saying an Nvidia Shield can do anything that hacking a Switch would get you (Homebrew games, emulators, etc.), which is pretty damn accurate.

    Things are getting worse - Mexico and Trump.

    And? That wasn't the point of my post. They weren't going to win, despite continuing to fight. That's kind of the point. The Japanese government gave zero shits about it's people, and were fully intent on following their god-king of an emperor to death for zero gain. They lost well before the...

    Things are getting worse - Mexico and Trump.

    I don't think you actually know very much history... Germany had surrendered well before we dropped the bombs on Japan. Japan had no intention of doing the same, so they continued to fight well after their cause was beaten. In all honesty, America (And the rest of the allied forces) could have...

    Pokemon Prism Rom Hack gets C&D'd by Nintendo

    Making a patch does not, in anyway, remove the swaths of infringement from Prism. Promotional material used the Pokémon logo, any additional assets added to the game (Pokémon from later generations) would be in the patch (And the dev would have no legal right to distribute them), among any other...

    Pokemon Prism Rom Hack gets C&D'd by Nintendo

    Can we stop blaming Nintendo? It's not their fault trademark laws are fairly strict. The real problem here was a dev who decided that their project, which uses properties and assets that they have no ownership of, needed to be advertised to the internet at large. Nintendo doesn't need to defend...

    Hacking Any Progress On The 300 Title Limit?

    And if it gets to the point where a majority of users are finding that to be an issue, someone might be motivated to find a workaround. But until that point, there's little reason for someone to make the effort.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
