The never-ending legal battle that sees Nintendo face off against the latest copyright circumventing piracy device continues with two brand new lawsuits. On May 15th, Nintendo filed a couple of lawsuits involving entities responsible for reselling devices used for the "sole purpose of which is to hack the Nintendo Switch video game console in order to allow people to play pirated video games." The first lawsuit is against a group of websites and their respective "John Doe" owners, for anxchip.com, axiogame.com, flashcarda.com, mod3dscards.com, nx-card.com, sxflashcard.com, txswitch.com, and usachips.com, while the second suit specifically targets Tom Dilts Jr. and their company Uberchips.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURTNORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIOWESTERN DIVISIONNINTENDO OF AMERICA INC.
Plaintiff
,v.
TOM DILTS, JR.
and
UBERCHIPS, LLC, d/b/a UBERCHIPS.COM

Plaintiff Nintendo of America Inc., by and through its counsel, on personal knowledge as to its own actions and on information and belief as to the actions, capabilities, and motivations of others, hereby alleges as follows:

What all these sites have in common is that they sell Team Xecuter's SX dongle, which allows users to bypass the protection on the Nintendo Switch in order to load custom firmware. Nintendo alleges that these products are used purely for piracy. In the past, Nintendo's taken on TX multiple times, perhaps most notably in 2018 where they won a lawsuit against several people who were selling hacked NES Classic systems and SX chips for the Switch on Offerup.

Nintendo is seeking compensation for "irreparable" damages to the company, as all of the websites have warehouses within the United States, and thus fall within the confines of the law. The monetary demands amount to $2,500 per violation of 17 U.S.C. 1201 (a DMCA provision), as well as $150,000 per violation of Nintendo's rights under the U.S. Copyright Act, in addition to possibly requesting profits the resellers received from selling the offending devices.

I'm good with sx pro for now. Moving on to PS5 when it gets released, rumor is that FFVII is going to be ported to it so I'll buy that (oh heaven forbid me buying games *hides stack of legit Nintendo Switch games that are in my closet*)
Surely ff7r will work right away on the ps5, right?

Yeah, yeah.
Let's take one case and make it real for everything and everyone.
This, this and this. Enjoy.
Just as I thought. You read but don't think.

Look at your your so called studies. Where are studies specified for games? Gaming on console is very different from other media form. Not every piracy is the same.

Streaming movie, TV show, music you can move your account to new devices. The contents is the same. In long run pirate would purchase these content when these would be offered for dirt cheap, or via some kind of subscription. The

Gaming console has life cycle. New console would need upgrade to meet demand of improved graphic, improved gaming experience... Old game most of the time ain't compatible on new console in its original format. Letting piracy run wild, then game studios can't make money. No fund to continue on new console.

In light of this news, I think I better pick up a SX ASAP. Have a launch edition Switch on FW 2.0 with the microSDXC update and I take it I want the Pro and not the Lite/Core version, correct? Thanks

Depends. The Pro isn't a modchip, its an SX OS dongle. If you're taking that route I recommend using Atmosphere CFW with an RCMLoader OneB dongle. If you want a modchip, get the SX Core.

Actually not sure what I want, lol. Have not followed the scene, what's the latest and greatest option?
Purchased the Switch Day1, updated to 2.0 with the microSDXC update , downloaded a game demo and then put back into the box.

As of now, I'm using the RCMLoader OneB, it's pretty convenient, I'm happy with it. All I have to do is slot the RCM jig that comes with it into the right Joy-Con rail, boot RCM, and plug in the dongle. Also, I'm not absolutely sure so don't take my word for it and do some research, but I believe you're free to update to the latest firmware with no losses.

Gary I know you are reading this thread but no ill will toward you :D

When you read this one Bowser ask your boss max to post some photos of the TX production & packing line of this now defunct product
I bet you don't
and we know why you won't don;t we :)
Come on big boy Bowser let's see you disprove the fact of having the factory injuncted
I believe the programmers are due to be served sometime this week as well :)

Bet Max is sooo glad he ripped me off ;)

Remember kids if you have preordered this item do a chargeback now while you can it's the only way you will recover funds as you wll NOT ever be seeing this product

Fuck
Don't mind me, I'm just here to read all the comments by armchair lawyers talking vaguely about how evil Nintendo is and how the fact that Team Xecuter's SX allows you to do homebrew stuff in addition to pirating games makes them 100% in the clear.
Ohh theres always one of you around take her pompus head and shove it up ur arse... when we purchase a console we have everyright to do with it as we please... shit theyre just being greedy fucks 100$ for a fucking joycon that drifts in a matter of weeks.. no compensation no new design they know its fsulty no recall just keep pumping out that shit design ohh and they made a newer console WITH THE EXACT SAME FLAW ONLY THIS TIME THERE NOT DETACHABLE.. take your nintendo cheerleading a d SHOVE IT!!!!!!
