Nintendo has been on record saying that when you buy one of their games (physical or digital) that you are truly just buying 1 license to play the game and that they can take that license away from you at any time for any reason. This reminds me of a Louis Rossmann quote: "If paying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing."
After Time = After Prison X = Xecutor I'm starting to think Gary Bowser wants to get caught.
As usual MVG explains it in detail. Some other videos are just garbage. I was reading the implementation of it from reddit threads and other youtubers justs go "brrr brrr new r4 for switch" without even mentioning the certificate checks. Thanks MVG. Videos are always informative and easy to understand.
From what I understood, this product is being sold from Russia, where certain piracy laws were suspended due to sanctions imposed by other countries. Nintendo can't do anything about this being sold in Russia, but can go after any reseller outside of Russia.
Awesome. I was just thinking yesterday, "I wonder how long it will take before the Switch has a flash cart"
The gamecard dumper interests me the most but not sure how useful it would be without being able to dump updates + DLC without use of CFW.
I imagine that this will create a serious headache for Nintendo if they were indeed planning on backwards compatibility and the same cartridge format for the switch 2.
MVG 11 days ago: Bye for now.... MVG 11 days later: Let's talk about this shady thing. Love it.
I talk to Gary and Max often. Gary I doubt has anything to do with it but he is very close for comfort. Max moves by the beat of his own drum so I cant say for sure. Both of them have been cool with me and I talked about what we discussed on the show last night. Your video was well done and you know the scene better than me. im just not sure if it is a good thing or not that I am in the "In" crowd. lol
I want one and not for piracy. I buy physical games because, we all know why, to own them. But it would be nice to be able to switch to any game I own without swapping cards. My kids have already lost 2 of my games (they never lose their own games) and having them backed up and put away and stored would be great.
I don't think I've EVER heard you drop the F-bomb on this channel. Honestly that's a HUGE thing underscoring how serious this whole thing could be for him. If he IS still involved and is still farting around with the crew that landed him in prison once, the odds are good he's not going to learn his lesson this time. Technical aspect aside-- this will be a very useful tool in like ten or 15 years when the Switch has been EOL and gear for it dries up-- he needs to Not Be Doing This Right Now.
So the worst thing is, I remember listening to an interview with Gary on the podcast Darknet Diaries. He went through his entire history before going into prison, and I thought to myself, man... hes done alot, and now hes out of prison. I hope he has a good life with his head low, maybe helping the homebrew scene or something... and... Nope, here we are again. (Also, would highly recommend the episode "Team Xecuter" by Darknet Diaries on whatever your podcast app of choice is, as it goes into technical details, and details about Gary's life in general)
If it is them then I have more faith in the quality of the product.
Soo... if Gary Bowser is actually involved in this and he uses the profit to pay off his debt, does that mean we're supporting Nintendo by pirating their games now?
Cool to see a flashcart finally being made, just gotta wait for someone else to clone it. Remeber, these are the same guys who will destroy your console if their software thinks you're trying to pirate their piracy tool. They've done this with several of their products across multiple consoles, including the Switch. I'm hoping this could lead to hardmod-less CFW.
I’m glad you continue to make content MVG. Always high quality and covering the facts in these cases! Happy New Year to you and your family 🎉
An f bomb in an MVG video?? Almost thought it was my birthday or something... Kidding aside, this is quite the discovery. I saw all the articles covering it, and I figured it was some new upstart group of hackers. Guess it pays to dig deeper. Happy New Year! Great way to start it out.
MVG hearing you drop the F-Bomb while warning someone is something that’s never happened, and it’s kinda scary, man.
Gary the absolute legend can’t keep a champ down😂😂
