Nintendo Switch Modder Who Refused to Shut Down Going to Court Against Nintendo Without a Lawyer

[John Elden Ring]

The alleged Nintendo Switch modder who refused to shut down their business despite a warning from Mario maker Nintendo now appears to be taking the titan on in court without a lawyer.

As reported by Torrent Freak, Ryan Daly, the alleged owner of modding company Modded Hardware, has denied any wrongdoing in court — even that he owns and operates the business at all. Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Modded Hardware in July, alleging it "not only offers the hardware and firmware to create and play pirated games" but also provides "customers with copies of pirated Nintendo games."

"Typically, when a customer purchases a hacked console or the circumvention services, Defendant preinstalls on the console a portfolio of ready-to-play pirated games, including some of Nintendo’s most popular titles such as its Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid games," Nintendo's lawsuit claimed.

"Indeed, because pirated Nintendo Switch games cannot be used or created without a hacked console and related software and hardware, it is only because of products and services such as those sold by Defendant that illegal marketplaces distributing pirated games exist and thrive."

>without a lawyer
why would you do this

 

[ethomaz]

It always the same excuse…

I didn’t created the mod to be used to play pirated games.
I didn’t create the emulator to be used to play pirates games

But all always had the same goal in mind… play pirated games.

Nintendo needs to fuck up these guys badly.

He says you’re licking nintendo’s boots

I'm a PlayStation fan... I don't play Nintendo games since Nintendo 64.
I wish Sony do the same with emulation and PS modders

Only people who pirate would say that lol.

Probably over 90+% of people dont own these games, yet have copies to play on emulation/pc. They have no right to play it

I agree with you, I was just trying to do the explaining
Sony didn’t do the same probably due to them losing a lawsuit against emulators back in the early years.

Not a lawsuit, multiple lawsuits
Sony v Bleem and Sony v Connectix solidified the legality of emulators in the US.
Though, if this guy really was providing roms with his hacks, he's fucked lol
no lawyer who in their right mind...

Nintendo's legal disputes are more entertaining than most of their games

Smart boi right there, indeed.

I'll immediately correct myself: Fucking megamind. Not even Saul Goodman would defend this idiot.

If I remember correctly these emulators checked the disc, no? Only original physical media could play on these emulators.

That played a big whole in the lawsuit.

Emulators today doesn’t care about running original media… they have no check or validation to block it like Bleem did.

Nobody today uses original media to use in emulation… that is basically illegal… and any emulator developer support of the use of dumped rom and even incentive it with tutorials.

I should say emulation should be legal and not even lawsuits couldn’t change that but there is no developer today that create legal emulation

Enjoy not being able to play games that you 'bought' because a corporation decides to shut them down, stop selling them, or bans them for reasons.

"But muh piracy". How does this personally affect you, though?
