The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch etc.)

[kshank]

I'm on Windows 11 24H2 and am running into the disk collision issue with the MIG Dumper. I just got the Dumper and the Flash the other day. The Flash is already on 1.1.6, so I'm assuming the Dumper is as well. I can see the disk in disk manager and it's showing the collision issue. I tried following the steps in the link provided by impeeza in a previous post (can't supply link due to new account restrictions), but when I run "online disk" I get an error about The object is missing. I checked the ID with "detail disk" after running the command to change it and it's still the same ID as it originally was.

Anyone have a solution for this? Should I just get linux on a USB and try to use it on Linux?

I installed Windows 10 on a separate HDD just to update to firmware 1.1.6 on the dumper. That seemed to work in the sense there is no longer any windows 11 disk collision issue. However, much worse, no game cartridges are being read now. I can only ever see the "System" folder in the root directory no matter which system mig flash is mounted including w11, w10, macos catalina, and chromeos flex. Admittedly, I am a bit panicked by this sudden critical loss in primary functionality. Wondering if I should roll back to 1.1.4 or trying something else altogether.

If yours (mig flash dumper) shipped with 1.1.6 firmware I would think the disk collision would be a non-issue. Since that is not that case for you, perhaps it means an additional windows 11 update broke 1.1.6 too.

Edit: Downgraded to 1.1.4 (last known working firmware) and the dumper will still not read game title folders (xci) after the cartridge is inserted.

When my dumper stopped reading games its because the pins inside the actual cartridge reader on the dumper got all messed up. I have zero clue on how to push them back down


maybe you have a similar issue?

Likely on to something I think. How could you see the pins were messed up? Is there any example of a "normal" reader to point to?

For anyone that has the collision issue, first check if the Dumper is working properly on other operating systems. Mine worked without issue on Android, Linux, and iPadOS. To fix it, I tried running the diskpart commands that @impeeza mentioned in post #1797, but it didn't work on the computer that was having the issue. I then tried running it on a different Windows computer that didn't have the collision issue, and though the command didn't seem to run, the issue was fixed once I reconnected the Dumper to the computer that previously wouldn't read it.

Just aim a flashlight down into it, you should see a bunch of pins laying flat like they are sleeping in a bed

And likely a few that have morning wood if this where your issue it should be obvious with a decent flash light

Push them down flat with a set of tweezers, ensuring that they're not too close together.

Or a sewing needle

Or a sewing needle

Maybe if you're quite careful. The top is quite sharp.

I used this tutorial to help me set up my MIG switch was a lot of help and answered all of my questions

Legit?

sounds like pure BS

Sounds like the best way to get banned

Fake asf unless it’s a program like rookie sideloader that oculus quest users use

They just used an rclone gui to show the contents of a server to download the games from and automates the extraction/copy process. So this could be similar

That being said it’s going to get you banned

Any/all public dumps will lead to a ban

Edit: he says it will download directly to the console this has to be a troll this ain’t possible without a modded console … and even if the console was modded you still can’t access or write to the micro sd card inside the MiG

some shady news: russ bros managed to update mig games from private server just by changing dns settings
at the moment they managed to update all 100 games copied to their mig device v2

Too good to be true, but we'll see. For me, since I already have a modded console, updating games isn't all that hard, just a bit inconvenient.

There’s no way. The games still need to talk to Nintendo at one point or another. The consoles aren’t modded

The title update won’t be signed properly if it don’t come from them…unless they cracked that which I doubt fully

Skepticism is fair. But you're assuming that nintendo implemented a perfect client-side validation of SSL certs though, yeah? I could imagine they figured out how to packet capture a real update and replay it (all of the signed traffic from nintendo remaining untouched). or they could have their fake-nintendo-server proxy part of the connection and replace the clientside communications that identified which device is receiving the update.

Seems like an awful lot of what ifs and maybes just to get banned anyway

You have to manually do a custom DNS server as you’re activly setting up a wifi connection and NOT after the initial connection setup

Otherwise it’s just gonna connect and send Nintendo all of those dirty logs before you can even configure the new DNS

I am not native English speaker, can you please explain to me the meaning of that twits?

They promise to deliver some way or other. You just wait... )))
