Please don't conflate an open effort to own your own hardware and data with a closed effort to literally sell access to copyrighted content under the table, and try to launder the profits and commit fraud. Yuzu and Bowser are not the same.

you mean the MiGSwitch, a device for dumping and preserving switch ROMs? I would love to have one for personal backups, and it pairs well with yuzu. Team Xecuter is credibly presumed to be the developers, so that's likely Bowser's current hobby.

No, I mean charging money for pirated copies of games

Bowser helped create and support online libraries of pirated videogames for its customers, and several of the enterprise’s devices came preloaded with pirated videogames.

This behavior was never condoned by the Yuzu developers

Piracy was never our intention, and we believe that piracy of video games and on video game consoles should end.

Also believe his (proprietary) software would brick switches if it detected other software, though don't quote me on that.
