The scale of the response in this case is what makes it remarkable, and something of a warning note from Nintendo: As well as, of course, the fact the guy's called Bowser.
The arguments here seem pretty cut-and-dried: While the whole 'preservation of game history' is a good case for messing around with older hardware, no-one could seriously argue an outfit like Team-Xecutor was out to do anything but enrich itself at Nintendo's expense. Dilts Jr subsequently took the site down and agreed to pay Nintendo $2 million in damages. While Team-Xecuter is the main focus, Nintendo has also been pursuing third-party retailers who sold the group’s products: Tom Dilts Jr, the Ohio-based operator of the website Uberchips, sold Team-Xecuter products until Nintendo filed a lawsuit in May 2020. Team-Xecutor member Max Louran has been arrested in Canada but is yet to be extradited, while Yuanning Chen has been indicted but remains at large. Some of his partners-in-crime have yet to face the US charges. He also administered a site containing ROM libraries that offered illegal copies of 13,630 games. It also created a custom firmware called SX OS which was sold through a network of resellers.īowser was in charge of the site, which served as a central hub for marketing the devices and customer support.

Team-Xecuter created and sold various "illegal circumvention devices" that allowed buyers to play illegal ROMs on their consoles, the most notable being the SX Pro modchip that allowed ROMs to be played on the Switch.
