=== Conflicts with Nintendo === During the N64's lifetime, Nintendo revised the N64's model, making the serial port area smaller. This slight change in the N64's plastic casing made the connection to the Doctor V64 difficult to achieve without user modification. This revision may have been a direct reaction from Nintendo to discourage the use of V64 devices, and may also explain why Bung decided to discontinue the use of this port in the later Doctor V64 Jr. models. Nintendo made many legal efforts worldwide in order to stop the sale of Doctor V64 units.<ref name="V64" /> They sued Bung directly as well as specific store retailers in Europe and North America for copyright infringement. Eventually, Nintendo managed to have the courts prohibit the sale of Doctor V64 units in the United States.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nintendo.com/corp/press/122399.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930040127/http://www.nintendo.com/corp/press/122399.html |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |date=December 23, 1999 |archive-date=September 30, 2007 |title=U.S. FEDERAL COURT AWARDS JUDGMENT TO NINTENDO AGAINST HONG KONG MANUFACTURER OF VIDEO GAME COPIER DEVICES |access-date=January 31, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://archive.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2001/08/45906 |title=Pirates on Game Boy's Bow |magazine=[[Wired (website)|Wired]] |author=Benner, Jeffrey |date=August 13, 2001 |access-date=January 31, 2016}}</ref>
