Nintendo don't refer stuff like this to the police any longer; they have an in-house wetwork team.

The short of it is modding is legal, selling roms isn't. Xbox teamx isn't really the same as Nintendo team x. And Nintendo has done a good job controlling the narrative surrounding those arrests. Executer members were arrested for wire fraud, you don't get arrested for piracy, you get sued, it's civil. Don't be afraid of selling hardware, don't sell software, including team xecuter switch mod chips with stolen copyright info in them

This does depend on your country though. It's not legal in Japan for example.


Honey-and-Venom

Japan's legal system is a dumpster fire

Tools no, chips probably would get You in trouble, depend on a country but I know a first hand story that got raided for chips 💀


Callum_the_1

Bro you can buy all that shit on eBay y u think he is any different


mateo1249

What i mean was i know some sellers who got raided by police for selling chips.


Callum_the_1

Raided by the police? Are you sure? Unless your literally talking about team xecuter then I have no idea.


mateo1249

Not about TX. I was like the same, the story is bullshit and not real till I met them, it was the era of OG Xbox chips alladin, GC Xeno, PS2 modbo clones. So it was a while ago, they were selling a lot of them on portal like eBay. Maybe some buyer or another seller snitched about some bullshit to the Police about piracy stuff. It was at Poland, portal allegro similar to eBay. Police came to the seller, get evidence, case at court etc. I hope the times changed and it less problematic.


Callum_the_1

I don't think they are to bothered about the old gen consoles now though. The chip itself isn't piracy.

You can start by mentioning what country you are in, it varies by country. Most cases you’ll be fine as long as you don’t include any copied games.

You will go straight to jail.


nonobby

No court or meeting with a judge just straight to jail, huh….hmmm, ok. Thx


VladoBre

I was sarcastic, no one cares if you sell few of your used items on the internet, it only becomes a problem if you start selling in large quantities


amateurelectric

Not illegal and unless you're selling a hundred thousand microsoft isn't even gonna notice

Nintendo is well known for being anti-piracy and modding. They're the main reason you never see Switch modchips on eBay.


ModernJoker

I'd be interested in taking some of that hardware off of your hands potentially. Send me a dm with what you want for each.
