I thought he was selling chips that let you do piracy

Either way, he and his descendants should be indentured servants to Nintendo. His lineage must be shamed.

yes that was what he was doing was selling Hardware mod chips that you could hook to it to be able to run custom firmware which allowed you to pirate games, the issue stemmed from how they were advertising the project. They weren't advertising the project as a run your own custom firmware/ backup solution, they were selling the product with the intent that it was being used to pirate
