The Gigaleak 7: Switch SDK from 2015/More Internal Documents

[dpad_5678]

This is really fucking aggravating.
Forced labor or face consequences?
Who the fuck do these pieces of shit think they are, seriously?

I still don't understand, though. Reverse engineering is completely legal, so what legal recourse does/did Nintendo have? Isn't it the same reason why Nintendo is completely unable to legally go after Smealum?

Nintendo is about to fuck our shit up!

 

[TheZander]

They were probably just looking for hacks themselves. I think around 70 percent of Nintendo employees pirate the games because of dev opposition to fulfill.

And to think they hired smealum..

I remember when he was approached by the ninjas and went on a long absence on Twitter, it was obvious they got him

But I never imagined it would be this.

Like, wow, that tweet where he was using the Homebrew channel in front of the Nintendo headquarters really did not age well.
It was a stunt to gain public trust and dang, it worked really well

Well, if you read the terms and conditions of the 3DS (Oh yes, I read them) there is a part that prohibits doing reverse engineering with it lol

This leaks are getting better and better.

in the next leaks you all know find out im cheating on @AmandaRose with @p1ngpong to find out what GBAtemp next moves are because i work for Nintendo. only for @AlanJohn to stab me in the back. with one of @Foxi4 soldering iron. where @DinohScene finds me and takes me to an underground doctor called @x65943 who happens to be a lover of @AmandaRose too.

Hey not my fault everyone loves me

It seems the entire security of the Nintendo Switch is useless now.
Anyone could produce their own game cartridge since the keys got leaked.

can someone make 32gb cartridges of some switch games like wolfentein 2? wolfenstein youngblood?doom eternal? oh i would like it very much and i would buy them for sure xD

We already know they do. They're welcome to browse this place for all they want.

Probably Nintondo's employees are even subbed to Gbatemp and perhaps they are even active tempers Among us:

Nintendo employee: Mods here kinda sus, many tempers sus too! they will never know we we are, let's find out how many leaks are on public?

This makes me wonder if this is not the reason why there has not been a lot of competition on the switch scene.

 

[Fred Molyneux]

I wonder how many Nintendo ninjas are watching over TX guys?

An insane amount of individual/team had the original bootrom exploit before it inevitability leaked

how many of those team had secret pep talks with the big N (with NDAs.)

Something being against the Terms and Condition doesn't automatically make it illegal, though.

Maybe the next leak will answer that

(just joking)

Which I believe would be an illegal term to put into T&C in (atleast) Europe, as people are allowed to do with their device whatever they wish.
Suing someone for reverse engineering a device they own would probably get thrown out of court.

 

[djpannda]

Maybe the next leak will answer that

:::sqiunts eyes::: anyone can be on the Big N's payroll at this point

True, but that can't legally jeopardize someone. That just voids your warranty.
I'm guessing either Nemoid was publishing confidential and/or copyrighted material, or it's another empty threat from Nintendo that will never work (like them sending a C&D or whatever they did to someone who handmade and used a logo that had the letters "DK").

Smea sold out? Where is your source

 

[deSSy2724]

WHAT!!!! They really think they can stop a hacker for doing his work, hacking things? Its like you want to stop water flow/existence..... even if the water evaporated, its location is till on Earth just in different form and it will come back (its always the same amount of water in existence, just different forms) and you simply cant stop this.

He should sue them, seriously.... that is unacceptable, doing things like that

NIntendo, if you actually did your own job/mind your own business, things like this (leak and all that) wouldnt happen.

 

[ZoNtendo]

Nintendo had the files used in the exploit and are from October 2014 (afaik), and the exploit was released in November
