Share a screenshot of the files that are your sd card

Are you using pirated or privately dumped games that you own? Show their files on your sd card as well

Vaguely. It's been months since their last announcement. At this point, who knows if they'll ever release their product (well, software).

Funnily enough I had the same thought myself a couple days ago too. I think 30 days is the longest they went between tweets and today matches that. Not looking good for anyone that still thinks this isn't vaporware.

MIG uploaded this video of a screwless v2 enclosure. Does anyone have their hands on one, and does anyone who knows CAD intend on making a model for it?

Has anyone had issues updating the Mig Flash dumper? Mine came with 1.1.4 and I cannot get it to update to either 1.1.5 or 1.1.6. Their flash cart had no issues updating or downgrading using the same update files.

The link in the first message of this thread looks like it's only for a V1 though, I don't see a cutout for the button.

Oh rip I thought I uploaded it lmao

I will get that fixed this weekend I’m trying to also figure out how to get these on pcbway so people can just order a replacement

They charge about $20

Well it turns out that for whatever reason the update mechanism in the dumper only works in a Windows PC and not on a Mac like I use. WOW. Just wow.

That’s likely just a newer copy of the cart that got dumped and not a modified xci

Newer cart revisions usually get released with patches on them, especially for first party titles

Does anyone have a problem with dumping some games when other work fine? I'm using Windows 11 and Ubuntu (even tried on Android Phone), dumped like 30 different games I own, but can't seem to dump Metroid Dread and Pokemon Legends Arceus. Copying always hangs at 392 200 192 bytes and dumper stops blinking.

I had no issues dumping Metroid Dread (Just dumped mine last night). Are you using a USB 2.0 or 3.0 cable? I'm using a USB 2.0 cable as I've heard there are issues when using a USB 3.0 cable?

TBH I think I already tried everything. USB-A to USB-C 2.0 cable, USB-A to USB-C 3.0 cable, USB-C - USB-C 3.0 cable. On several different machines with USB2/3/C ports and result is always the same. As if my dumper was not able to dump those 2 games at all.

Funny thing that it blinks continuously during dumping, then stops, gives out a few bursts of 2-3 blinks and then transfer fails.

Edit:
I even found a reddit thread where ppl had some similar problems, but with the games I've already dumped (Mario Kart, Pokemon Violet/Scarlet).

 

[ccfman2004]

I assume you have updated the dumper to 1.1.6?

 

[adwil]

Yeah, dumper/cart updated to 1.1.6, I even reapplied update now - no changes.

I have another game that does not want to be dumped - Pokemon Shining Pearl, which is especially weird as I bought it as a 2 pack with Brilliant Diamond and I dumped Brilliant Diamond without problems.
