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.
Guess it’s time to check if i have a first edition switch now…
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.
Yes, but format shifting is a legally defined term in the US that originated when VCRs came onto the scene.
fun fact, Mr. Rogers testified at the Supreme Court to save format shifting, in a landmark copyright case:
“I have always felt that with the advent of all of this new technology that allows people to tape the ‘Neighborhood’ off-the-air … they then become much more active in the programming of their family’s television life. Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been ‘You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions’ … I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.”
the Court agreed with Mr. Rogers and cited him in the majority Opinion.
He’d be unimaginably sad to see the world today.
Mr. Rogers was better than we deserved.
Exactly. The author seems biased towards Nintendo here.
People don’t even realize anymore they’ve adopted corpo speach. They’re getting told it’s “professional”, “neutral” and all that jazz. Especially the “neutrality” bullshit, perfect breeding ground for manipulators to plant nonsense. And we all know all those corpos perfected the art of mass manipulation to the point they employ whole departments to do it and pay politicians to dance by their fiddle.
Notebookcheck.net tries to report “neutral”, and it fucking shows.
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.
at a museum in the US, a security guard yelled at me for taking a photo of a Miró painting. he pointed to a sign saying that to respect the owner’s copyright, photography was strictly forbidden.
pretty sure I had the legal right to take the photo, but that they had the legal right to trespass me if I kept doing it. :/
Leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. You could probably find a better resolution copy of the painting online anyway.
I’ve been to multiple museums in Japan (which is somewhat relevant because Nintendo is Japanese) that either flat out ban all photography (e.g. Ghibli Museum, Aomori Museum of Modern Art) or have some exhibits that you’re not allowed to take pictures of (e.g. Tokyo National Museum). One exhibit I wanted to take a picture of had a “no photography” sticker on it, but it was on the opposite side from where I approached so I didn’t see it, causing staff to run up to me when I pulled out my phone to point out the sign.
I’ve also heard from other tourists that “no photos” seems to be rather common there.
Btw, I’m not at all saying that they’re justified at all, just saying that there are indeed places that forbid photos for copyright reasons. In my opinion, no photo would ever match seeing the exhibits in person so it is entirely pointless to ban them. Even professional, official scans of pieces don’t come close.
Current Japan is the literal definition of a corporate hellscape. The only place that is more controlled by cabals is South Korea. They don’t even view Cabal as a negative term there (officially, I recognize that the citizenry are not that stupid).
I thought of that after I posted, and I also saw somebody commented something similar on the article itself.
Did they make more than 2m profit on mig hardware?! 🫢
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.
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.
