Yeah he definitely isn't. Especially after the gofundme was made so people could assist him in turning his life around.
He's right though, Nintendo will absolutely ruin him if he doesn't cut himself off the project ASAP.
Yeah... and the error page is them denying that Near was actually harassed by them and tries to justify why.
What I personally find even more disgusting is that Josh claims Kiwi Farms "is an entertainment site". Even if we ignore what happened to Near, there's the well documented case of Chloe...
An update to the situation:
Marcan has gone to the police department (who are conducting an investigation into this) and they have confirmed that Near has passed away.

Absolutely disgusted at the people who contributed to the Kiwifarms thread and harassed Near for years to the point of suicide. Some of them even mocking his death and showing no remorse to anything they've done to him and his friends. I genuinely hope this comes back to bite at least some of...
If it's worth anything, the exact same day the update came out. Nbayoh teased a new exploit for the 3DS.

Hmm, could be a different set of programmers (as suggested as hexkyz).

Either way seeing this pop up kinda shocked me lol
Is this directed at me? If so, then no. I don't agree with the ethics of TX and they definitely had it coming. I also dislike Garyopa. There's no denying they made advancements in some areas of the scene but they got too comfortable for their own good.
Yeah, that's most likely what he's done...
One thing I do find interesting is how Garyopa mentions the time he tried to get m4xw to cooperate with TX and how he "sent his work to a rival hacking group" when m4xw refused and worked with libretro instead.
Welp, rip TX. Honestly didn't expect it to end like that.
It's bittersweet imo, they definitely had it coming and I don't agree with their ethical practices but they've still contributed to the scene's advancements in other ways (like the Mariko modchip).
Thought that might happen. If you can't go after the manufacturer you have to go after the reseller.
This may hurt TX a bit as resellers will be more weary of selling their products because of this.
If I had the choice I'd probably go with the PS5 for two simple reasons.
1. It has more compelling exclusives (at least in my opinion).
2. It's UI will likely be significantly better than the Series X (the Xbox One's UI genuinely feels painful to scroll through and it has the audacity to plaster...
Whilst that was a very interesting read.
I find it a bit odd that the original link was taken down and I can find nothing else like this online (about calling out the Super NT for being an emulator).
That's a pretty stupid mindset to have. There are some games that simply do not work with emulation or have major graphical bugs that render it unplayable. No emulator is (and probably will ever be) 100% accurate in every game without workarounds.
Granted, it costs a lot. You could say it costs...
There seems to be quite a few people in this thread who don't understand what this device is for and why the price is so high.
This is a FPGA system that is 1:1 with original hardware. This isn't emulation. If you don't care about this then this handheld device likely isn't targeted for you...
I don't know why you all think boycotting this game was a good idea (because the boycott would've failed anyway).
But let's say the boycott succeeded and the game doesn't hit sales expectations/is a failure. Who would've suffered more in the long term? The employees. Because it puts their jobs...
I do recall Nintendo planning to go after UltraHLE (a revolutionary N64 emulator from 1999 that quite literally changed the emulation scene forever) because it was able to run commercial games. Apart from that though you're right. They haven't gone after any emulators simply because it's not...
