Are bin files swappable between games on the MigSwitch?

[upfromtheskies]

So I'm seeing some reports that the bin files from one game can be renamed and used to play other games on the MigSwitch, while others are saying it won't work. What's the consensus? Has anyone confirmed this on video?

Yes, it works just make sure the file names match

Awesome. I was worried they weren't swappable and I'd have to wait for someone to share bin files from their own cart, or dump each cart myself.

rename and use different bin files with different games

Just make sure the XCI and initial data file come from the same game and all of the files have the same and proper names
