Stop to buy anything from Nintendo
Is he stupid? Just start an AI company and say he's training his models with Nintendo's games.
The Mig Flash Dumper creates pirated copies of Nintendo Switch games from cartridges.
In the same way a camera can create pirated copies of famous paintings from museums
- It's only piracy if you distribute it, otherwise it's just format shifting.
  
  I use the word “archiving” because it’s a universally understood concept that even survives translation.
  
  Exactly. The author seems biased towards Nintendo here.
- You're right, and I don't want to criticize, but most museums do actually have rules banning photography.
  
  Every museum I went to allowed photography with flash turned off.
  This included every major museum in NYC, the Lourve in Paris, and Picasso's Museum in Barcelona.
  
  I thought of that after I posted, and I also saw somebody commented something similar on the article itself.
Guess it's time to check if i have a first edition switch now...
Besides the Mig devices, Nintendo also claimed that Daly sold pirated games and hacked consoles to customers.
Is this true or is this something just added by Nintendo just in case Daly chose to settle, Nintendo has an excuse for their PR department?
- It's true. He sold modded consoles and would install mods on your console if you sent it in, if I remember correctly. Side note, this dude ripped me off (probably due to the legal issues). I ordered a mig switch from him and never got it.
  
  Thank you for the info. Sorry you got ripped off. Hopefully you can get you credit card to reverse transaction.
Did they make more than 2m profit on mig hardware?! 🫢
And this is how I learned about the shutting down of NSW2U
- nooooo
Did they open source the design or were they dumb dumbs who made a Nintendo project public before it got decent traction.
