which will be unveiled?

Who knows maybe the unlock switch man himself will also finally stop lurking and post an update from the account he’s been stalking under.

I hope it’s real but I’m not going to hold my breath. Especially when he never proved to have a real working v1. Are we supposed to believe the guy who couldn’t get a v1 firmware running is magically going into have switch 2 support before the actual MiG team does?

If it’s real great, I’m wrong. But the odds are not in the dudes favor

The official MIG Flash website now shows a video of the flashcart running on Switch 2.
An update is coming

UnlockSwitch began their livestream few minutes ago.

EDIT: So they've finally managed to get it working on Switch 1? Unless I missed something, that's what I saw. Still doesn't work on Switch 2, as expected. Good to see that they've finally managed to make it work.

Check from 14:48 onward. I might be wrong, but didn't they show a few games running a minute after that (Snowrunner and FF game)?

Doesn’t work on switch 2

It is almost like it has the same exact behavior as if they did another reshell…again

What's suspicious to me is that they've made a 30 minute live that could easily fit into 5 minutes or so. And yeah, it could be a reshell. Or maybe they've finally figured out how to make Switch 1 games to work on their hardware? Did testers get any software to flash their flashcarts with?

Can someone give me a tldw? Was it just another no show and continued bragging?

basically, 30 minutes for two test of 20 seconds, they show a game working on Switch 1 and errors on SW 2

To iffy... It's just to de solder the chips from mig and put on the purple card.

From the official FAQ:

There is no ROM on the micro SD card or the (EXFAT) filesystem of the microSD card could not be read.
Make sure your microSD is formatted in EXFAT filesystem.
Make sure you have a valid ROM present on microSD card. This means you must have the following files:

• ROM (Card ID Set).bin
• ROM (Card UID).bin
• ROM (Certificate).bin
• ROM (Initial Data).bin
• ROM.xci

In some earlier firmware versions Unicode characters in the filenames were not supported. Try renaming using only Latin characters or digits.

I think you can put a very small push switch inside and cutoff the 1 pad of the connector, but i think the firmware of the cartridge need to be replaced.

There is a Russian guide floating around showing how. It should be on the mig homepage too since they shared it a few mineshaft back

You need a NC button which is not easy to find on its own. I pad to buy a pack of 30 from china

Here is the link to the guide: https://dzen.ru/a/Z4ODpnoJExv3cV8Z

And here are some links to buttons similar to the one used in the guide:

The button used in the MIG v2 is this one.
