Nintendo Switch hackers Team Xecuter leaders arrested, charged in federal indictment

I'm wondering, is it possible to buy a chip now from those aliexpress resellers or have they all gone underground? There must be quite some inventory left that wasn't seized.

And, more importantly for me having a v1 with SX Core, will it stop working on the next FW nintendo puts out even if I'm not using SX OS but loading Atmosphere via Hekate?

You start to wonder how many of the aliexpress sellers where actual TX themselves if they just said poof

You'll still be able to use Hekate/Atmosphere, people on Mariko aren't so lucky.

I seriously doubt any updates to SX OS will come up now, unless the remaining ppl at the site just release source code (but who are they and do they have access to all that?).

@masbass

You can't officially sell modchips on aliexpress, but you can sell a payment for your desired console

I also doubt this will significantly affect the future of switch chips, as has already been said (surprisingly not that many times) this is a product Designed and Made in """Communist""" China* with an existing demand and that most likely does not actually need frontmen

* a country that, due to the opinions of the president of the one involved in this topic, right now has even less interest than usual to be sympathetic

"for the selling of illegal hardware that facilitates piracy"
Wow such a crime....they literally didnt stole anything or damaged anyone. people choose themself if they want to pirate or not. I guess companie like nintendo operates on "virtual loss" and "damage" done to them by "pirates".
They actually serve public (gamers) tbh, not do damage!
But i guess they (big companies like Nintendo etc.) want monopoly over everything, even the "virtual loss" or "what if...".

Tbh i see Nintendo as a bad guy here. Like a mafia: They appear as good guys, family friendly, normal, do good stuff for the wider public, but behind the scene they kill people and hold monopoly, burn small businesses etc. LoL

So please...don't tell ME how they have every right crap...

People should and choose weather they want to pirate. If Nintendo doesnt want them to use pirate things, make it more afordable than, appealing MAKE FUCKING METROID GAMES! DOnt sut off support for Wiiu just because it "life ended" people still have ninteno 3DS and want to play games on it!

Anyway thats beyond the point... so yeah.... their politics is based on fear and force which is never good.
I love nintendo but its no wander people hack their servers and leak their content to the public. People feel sick of their bullying...Nintendo are assholes anyway imo! (except Iwata san)

They have. StargateNX sold games, also the CFW (SXOS) include copyrighted Nintendo code.

So please...don't tell ME how they have every right crap...

They do. You would also do the same if you where in Nintendo's seat.

You want them to support old hardware forever?

Nintendo wasn't hacked, it was iQue.

Well I highly doubt you. It's easy to be on the sidelines. If you see your products being taken without your consent you probably would have change of heart as well.

Can’t wait for SX products to disappear for few months then reappear with different sticker color and name(probably blue since it looks inocent). R4 drama all over again

I think the problem was that they were charging for the license not only they are allowing pirated games to run on the switch, but they are getting money out of it. I don't thin they will go after the other CFW teams so hard. Team X did things in a dirty way. I have a license but I haven't booted into a CFW in like year and a half. I am using my switch normally and playing games I buy or get as gifts. Piracy for me is just confusing because I can't decide what to play and it is hard to focus on just one game.

Yet, it has existed since the dawn of modding. This place cracks me up, you do know that this is GBAtemp right? They used to advertise selling GBA and DS modchips lol Let's not forget DRM on games. Back in the day they had PHYSICAL devices you had to plug into your printer port to run said game.

During GBA and DS Days there was no way around it, if you wanted to run homebrew you'd need flashcartridges. Flashcarts are actual tech products that enable homebrew. In the Switch's case, TX was only selling software that was available for free for the community anyway - and they still infest it with DRM.

Flashcarts are wonderful devices that breath life onto now old and dated handhelds. I'm still playing new games and translations on my GBCs and GBAs and I think they are wonderful tools.

Public companies have an obligation to protect their IP.

Kinda off-topic, but no, the hack likely didn't come from the iQue people, but from associates of Zammis Clark, who admitted to hacking the big N back in 2018 (evidence for this being that a decent part of the leaks are non-iQue stuff).

Cool, then it was a bigger hack.

A lot of discussion about the legality and piracy etc. but I think Gary and his mates should definitely be worried about "conspiracy to commit money laundering", "conspiracy to commit wire fraud" and "wire fraud". This has less to do with big N but with the US Government.
