    To top it off, I think the group in general was adding anti-piracy measures that could brick your Switch. So, it’s fine to pirate Nintendo stuff, but you can’t pirate the pirate’s stuff.

    (I might be thinking of the DS cartridge group but I think this one did too)

      It was the dongle they made that had it. It stole parts of Atmosphere’s code to run their custom SX OS and if you tried to reverse engineer it it would brick your console upon putting it back in.

      Most DS flashcarts had time bombs that would make them stop working after 2 years, though I think the one on the 3DS also had a prevention that would brick your console as well but I’m not sure
