Not only was he selling modchips, he was selling modded consoles. He’s fucked.
That is definitely not good. A saying among the legal community is that a lawyer that represents himself has a fool for a lawyer. If he is going to stand up to Nintendo, he should at least be crowdfunding for a professional legal defense.
I wish you strength and might warrior.
Many such lawsuits have ended in settlements outside of courts, so I’m guessing many legal claims have not been validated or invalidated in court yet. This can be good or bad of course. But now, if this guy goes to court, I’m actually concerned because it may give an unchallenged path to Nintendo’s legal arguments and assuming the court decides he’s guilty, there will be precedent of these legal claims having been vetted in court. Would that not be worse for anyone in the future who would want to challenge Nintendo’s legal claims?
That would be a nice legal loophole for a corporation. Bribe someone to lose a court case without council, and then use that case as legal precedent for future cases.
Dude is fucked, but I’m rooting for him all the same.
Fly you fool
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to become Nintendo.
Brave, but foolhardy.
The title, worded like that, sounds like some brave man waving a sword at a mighty dragon…
Upon reading the article the situation is more like a bafoon waving a toothpick at an elder god
Who is gonna end up fucking it up so bad Nintendo gets the precedent they need to shut down all emulation forever.
Yea, so many other occurrences I wish had gone to court, this one not only doesn’t stand a chance, but will set bad precedence.
Rule #1 about going to court against a large company with good lawyers: don’t represent yourself, since there’s no way you’ll win, and the judgment will likely require you to cover at least some of Nintendo’s legal fees.
The legal system is an irredeemable joke.
Rule #1 about going to court
against a large company with good lawyers: don’t represent yourself,since there’s no way you’ll win, and the judgment will likely require you to cover at least some of Nintendo’s legal fees.This is only true if you prioritize your own well being.
If you prioritize authentic truth you must go in alone and accept that the system will swallow you. No one knows your honest perspectives better than you, a lawyer will compromise your morality in order to protect you because for them this is just a means to an income, they don’t share your passion for justice.
Basically become a token/martyr.
What you gain is observable truth that the system is broken and makes you its victim trough bureaucratic oppression, giving you an ethical reason to rebel further against it.
I very much DO NOT recommend this but in another way i feel like the ethics of the system are not frequently enough challenge by actual good.
“The man who represents himself in court has a fool for a lawyer and an idiot for a client.”
It is likely that he is going to get shit canned, but, I hope he purchases a bulldozer and modifies it during all legal proceedings.

good luck to him even though it seems futile. nintendo really needs to get fucked then pound sand after, but this doesn’t seem like the one. Hopefully it doesn’t just end up benefitting Nintendo more.
At that time, Daly agreed “both verbally and in signed writing” to refrain from these infringing sales, according to Nintendo. It was only after months of Daly continuing those sales and largely ignoring further contact from Nintendo that the company says it was forced to file its June lawsuit in a Seattle federal court.
if that’s the case, I can’t see it going well for him…
Heck, he’d probably have been fine if he just stopped selling cards with roms preinstalled, but kept the normal modding stuff up
He was selling chips preloaded with pirated games. No wonder he’s representing himself: no one bothered to defend him.
Highlight from the comments
It sounds like His defense might be ChatGPT, Throwing everything at the wall.
I fear his previous counsel was ChatGPT, and it noped out.
Maybe he has something up his sleeve we don’t know about
Like maybe he’s going to prove that Nintendo was emulating his work all along? (/s)
Maybe he doesn’t want to spend 50k for a case he’s losing anyway.
