No mixed ones, only the ones with their own bin files?

Thats corrects no mixes

Glad to hear that! I'm really tempted to try it out on one of my spare Switch consoles so I'll probably give it a whirl once I buy a new SD card for the MIG Switch flashcart.

And you haven't been banned on your Switch 1 yet? Playing all public roms from torrent sites, and no private roms?

I dont have switch 1.... my switch 1 was v1 so it was hacked with clip and cfw not migswitch.
Switch 2 only was used with mig switch and i was not banned yet.

I was going to ask if being banned prevented users from using key cards since no account was needed for those, but it seems that way. Which I find crazy.

Key-cards don't require an account, but you won't be able to download the game via a key-card on a banned Switch 2, as the servers from which the game is downloaded will be blocked.

Today, I decided to sell one of my Switch 2 consoles because I have fully completed all the Switch 1 games I wanted to play using Mig Switch. I’ve realized that Nintendo will likely not release more enhancement updates for Switch 1 games on the Switch 2.

So, I turned on my Switch 2 (which I’ve been using with Mig since July 2025, 100% offline with fully updated Switch 1 games), formatted it twice, and tried to go online. To my surprise, the console was not banned. I've been playing Mig games for a year completely offline and haven't been banned.

Remember: the risk of a ban is always present.

Two months from that post. Not ban yet. So, russian games with cert no ban? No online, ganes updated from another switch 2 (not banned 100% online).

I'm curious. Why two Switches 2 consoles?
One for playing offline and the other just for updating the games? But you're using the cartridge on both of them.

Isn't the risk the same on the console thatdownloads the updates even if you're not playing those games?

thanks.

Because the second Switch 2 that I used for updating games was used solely and exclusively to update games (without ever opening them — perhaps this is the key to why it doesn't register the game). Additionally, this Switch was my official console for playing my original Switch 2 games online (Mario Kart World, Mario Party, etc.)

So a Mig Switch and 2 Switch 2 consoles, one offline the other online to update the games.
Interesting workaround, whole setup price around 800 euros if you buy used consoles (at around 350 each) and a mig switch plus memory card, so about the same as 1 console and buing around 12 new games.

Biggest downside is, no Switch 2 Games via Mig Switch - only Switch 1 and S2 update. Had i not played most interesting S1 games on my switch 1 v1, that setup would be not a bad deal.

This seems like it maybe getting the hopes up of many. Ofcourse the offline Switch2 is not banned yet, because it stays offline. Once you connect it online though, ban hammer time.
