Why isn't apple suing saurik for making cydia...
It's not what's being made that's the issue it's how the end user is using it.
They are technically a backup loader. They are not selling you the roms nor making them available. It would be like nusic and movie industry suing manufactures of CD and DVD writers because people COULD make pirated copies.

Illegal in the US and EU, elsewhere it's more complex.
Nintendo will go after the companies importing them, if they can identify shipments then they'll have them seized.
That is what they did for DS flashcarts. They sued lots of importers.
They fear Ping Long. They know what he is capable of so they choose not to mess with him.
There are more crimes in the world than stealing code. (For example, going to your house and stealing your food)
So, in some jurisdiction, maybe possibly Nintendo could sue TX, for something that isn't stealing code.
I'm not sure of the laws, but there are so many of them I bet one or two could be used as a good momentum for a legal case

And look at how much of a success Nintendo was at that too.
TC thinks Nintendo can just sue TX and this will disappear but really it won't, it will make matters even worse for Nintendo, this is why Microsoft allows homebrew onto Xbox One X and such, they have realised it's better to reach out than to completely fight hackers head on over and over and I know Xbox One is hard to hack but who needs to hack it when you can use homebrew and retroarch on it without hacking it.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
