    Nintendo wins another lawsuit over MiG Switch reseller, defendant ordered to pay damages

    This is always the common denominator among idiots who get sued by Nintendo. It's them pre-installing pirated software. I have been installing modchips in switch systems for years and get asked almost daily if I will install games on the system after modding it. It's so common that I wonder if...

    Feedback Best place to get a V1 (Unpatched) Switch?

    What is your version of cheap? I charge $70 for v2s and that is on the higher end. Check your local classifieds/repair shops. A V2 switch is a 30 second soldering job. Triple digits is only reasonable for OLEDs.

    Feedback Best place to get a V1 (Unpatched) Switch?

    Don't underestimate how easy/cheap it is to modchip a v2 switch. The benefits of longer battery, better overclocking, and better cosmetic condition are well worth it in my opinion. Unless you get a great deal on a v1 locally from someone who doesn't know they have a v1, you will end up paying...

    Pricing and release window for budget-friendly Android handheld MANGMI AIR X announced

    I don't have any interest in this, but I wouldn't say it's any more likely to end up in a landfill than a switch or any other portable system. A kid in a less privileged country would probably get an entire childhood worth of enjoyment from a device like this. In Russia, we grew up with little...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    I recently stumbled into a system which fails to boot (*== error) only if it doesn't have 5 seconds to rest between reboots. To elaborate: The system boots successfully 100% of the time as long as I wait more than 5 seconds from the time I turn it off and turn it back on. If I don't wait 5...

    Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

    This is a good datapoint. Out of curiosity, is Breath of the Wild one of those games? Can you check? That way we can know if it is a game-by-game problem

    Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

    I created a video sharing my experience with trying to use my newly-banned switch 2. Based on my experience, the ban hits harder than it did for the Switch 1. Using Breath of the Wild as an example, I am completely unable to play this game on my Switch 2 after the ban because it requires an...

    Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

    I updated my previous comment, but for anyone wondering, my Switch 2 has been console banned because of my attempt to use the MIG switch on launch day. This is despite using a clean rip of my own games

    Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

    No, I was honestly really hoping that the Mig would work and I would have games to play without buying any haha. The switch 2 probably checks data transfer speeds of the cart or something. There is a long pause of maybe 10 seconds on a black screen before the error appears where it might be...

    Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

    I can confirm that the MIG Switch does NOT work on the switch 2. I don't have an express card to try, but I think this suggestion is MIG Switch propaganda. The Switch 2 should have no way of telling what kind of SD card is in the MIG This was tested with a newly opened Switch 1 game which was...

    Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

    I am in line at bestbuy. I plan to open and update my switch 2 in the parking lot before testing it with my MIG. I made sure to use a clean game copy which has never been duplicated before in the mig to make sure they aren't just blocking common cartridge identifiers. Check my profile in 2...
