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.
controlled by a modded switch
Er, wait is that a killdozer reference?
I like to think of it as a modification of a killdozer reference.
the reference is definitely crushing it
Dude is fucked, but I’m rooting for him all the same.
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to become Nintendo.
Fly you fool
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.

True, but it’s especially true when they’re up against Nintendo.
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
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.
Let the man cook!
Brave, but foolhardy.
Rest in piece you brave soul.
This isn’t a smart play, but it forced Nintendo to spend more of their legal team’s time on him, rather than the emulation community, so I support his suicide mission.
He will literally die
Fuck Nintendo. Come on, someone grab* this pro bono… There has to be some bored, rich af partner out there who wants to tilt at windmills.
Client is too crazy, and it’s Nintendo. Lawyers won’t touch this.
Nobody’s going to go against Nintendo pro-bono lol
At best you may be able to find a lawyer that’ll work on a contingency basis, but they tend to only take cases that they’re fairly confident they’ll win (since they don’t make any money if they lose)
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.
You know what they say about someone who represents themselves in court?
They have an idiot for a client.
