This is ironic because this is the same thing PlayStation did with their PS1 Mini, remember? The emulator that was on the SXOS was called Atmosphere, which was licensed under the GPL, the same as what Sony did. And people were mad at them for charging for this.
But yeah, Red Hat is a version of Linux. And yeah, they took the free and open source Linux software and suddenly started charging for it. And there's been quite a lot of controversy over that. Like, why are you taking other people's code and charging for it? You didn't write that. But Red Hat's like, look, it's free to use by anyone and it's licensed under the GPL. So it's cool.

And again, I think this argument is going back and forth between the letter of the license versus the spirit of the license. The other thing that people were getting mad about is that some users were reporting that their switch would become broken after using the SX Pro. And yeah, they were.

Because what Max did here is that he didn't want someone else trying to understand or steal the software on the SX Pro. So if you were detected trying to crack into it or poke or prod at it, it would send a signal to completely break your switch. And I think that's going too far.

Like, sure, this never happens as a normal user of the SX Pro, but if you poke and peek into it too much, it bricks your system. Yeah, setting your pirated software to destroy your Switch is just not cool to me at all. But despite all these complaints, the SX Pro did very well. A lot were being sold, and the reviews were almost always positive.

And as its popularity grew, SX Pro was making someone else really mad, Nintendo. They were like, wait, what? You're charging for a device that lets people play pirated games? You're making money from our hard work? We've got to stop this. So first they patched it. All Switches made after 2019 were no longer vulnerable to this attack.

And then they started trying to find and stop this whole team executor operation.

So, at any point, do you feel like you were a member of Team Executor?

I don't know if I would feel like I'm a member of this at any point, you know? Just being a member, you'd be a member of maxconsole.com and feeling like you work for them, but not so much a member of Team Executor.

To do all this. And you have all three. You have the know-how of modding chips. You have the opportunity of doing it because you're doing it. And you have the motive because you like doing it. So you seem to be the perfect person to create this, to improve upon it, to come up with ideas, all these things. You'd be such a great value asset to the team.

I'm surprised Max didn't ask you for more stuff to do.
