    The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch etc.)

    AFAIK no one has been banned on Switch 1 when using the appropriate precautions (untrimmed personal non shared dumps), despite 1.1.9 being detectable (on S1) when using trimmed dumps and 1.2.0 being always detectable (still on S1). I might be wrong tho, I don’t know what happened with ancient...

    Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

    Ok, reading your previous post I was under the impression you weren’t going to put your S2 online, strictly updating it offline through carts. It seems to me that’s the plan of multiple users for the fear of N banning them… but i don’t understand the logic: N threatens a ban which consists in...

    Is there much difference between 60fps and 120fps and full HD and 4K?

    You’re confusing two different facts: distinguishing details of a moving image at a specific framerate vs perceiving the difference in smoothness of the moving image at a specific framerate. An experiment objectively setting the average limit for 1 doesn’t tell you the objective average limit for 2.

    Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

    Let me understand: is your plan to never connect your switch online for fear of being banned?

    Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

    Up to MIG firmware 1.1.9 we knew a technique to distinguish MIG carts with trimmed dumps from original carts (but not with untrimmed dumps). This technique worked on Switch 1 consoles but * it seems N never used that on Switch 1 * it seems N detected MIG carts with untrimmed dumps on Switch 2...

    Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

    Nope, the usb dumper produces trimmed dumps, the MIG homebrew produces untrimmed ones.

    Well, actually mine was a rhetoric question 🤷‍♂️

    Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

    Are you super sure? I mean Nintendo can flag specific carts id as pirated (once they appeared online on two systems at least one time) and since that moment just using that cart id could flag your console. Just guessing, but, do you feel comfortable reassuring other people that being a safe...

    The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch etc.)

    I see, I mean, we can only speculate what Nintendo uses for effectively flagging MIGs (maybe speed isn't so accurate, I'm thinking to temperature variations, to give a ban)... but OOB reads are a speculation such as speeds. We only know that 1.1.9 were detected by Switch 2, 1.2.0 seems to not be...

    The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch etc.)

    It has been proved with different experiments you can replicate that using untrimmed dumps worked until firmware 1.1.9 (well except N was able to detect the MIG on S2)… with 1.2.0 they tried to implement OOB reads regardless of the completeness of the dump. And unfortunately their attempt can be...

    They’re easy to find: they’re in your original cart. 1750744787 Just insert the cart (either the original you dumped or the MIG) and update online, they (should) behave the same. But I’d be cautious until the OOB reading issue isn’t further investigated.

    The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch etc.)

    Because it reports trimmed when the cart fails with specific OOB reads. With 1.2.0 MIG tries to fake a correct response when the Switch does that and they partially succeeds, in fact it seems to confuse the actual Switch 2... but this new implementation fails when you try to read a large...

    The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch etc.)

    outside of the boundaries 1750673256 I mean, you can detect MIG "just" using nxdumptool too... try to produce an untrimmed dump of a 1.2.0 MIG... 1750674576 That was in 1.1.9, now, with 1.2.0, it correctly reports all MIG as trimmed, regardless of the used XCI... which is worrying to me!

    The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch etc.)

    With 1.1.9 there was no publicly known methodology for detecting untrimmed dumps, but Nintendo evidently found one used on Switch 2. Firmware 1.2.0 seems to trick Nintendo, but now there’s a publicly known methodology for detecting both trimmed and not trimmed dumps… it seems N isn’t using that...
