Is there a precise understanding of the function of each of the .bin files yet? Which of these are unique to each cart?

According to certain Russian forums, it is known that Initial Data.bin and Certificate.bin are required to boot a game. Any of the following scenarios will result in a bootable game but a ban.
  • Card ID Set.bin or Card UID.bin are missing.
  • Card iD Set.bin or Card UID.bin come from certain public dumps.
  • Certificate.bin is exchanged with another dump.
Is it possible to swap Card ID Set.bin or Card UID.bin, and if so, will it result in a ban?

Yes, these are known online as "mixed" dumps, and they result in a ban 100%.

Hi guys

What about if i have modded switch with pico for offline play on emunand and i want to play online games too.
Can i boot into sysnand and go to 19.0.1 firmware then go online and play some titles bought by eshop.
That is clear for me but ...
what about games that i have on my migflash v2 ? From what i have read i can not update xci games on mig ? That only is true with xci + 4bin from internet/torrents becouse it can be mixed or bad ? what if i have some private switch games and i will copy it on my migflash in xci+4bin format. Can i update this games with migswitch in my console like original one ?

What is the difference Xci from torrent and Xci cloned from my personal collection ? All that metters is that, my personal collection cloned xci is clear and not mixed ?
And that only 1 copy is online at time ?


Am i understanding it right ?
if i don;;t get mixed files and only copy ori carts i can update games like normal ?

Sorry 4 not that good english as i want it to be

If the games on the mig are your games and no one else's, you should be fine. The torrented files aren't unique like a game you backup that is only yours, since if you don't share it. Nothing to ban you with.

So no downloading pirated games to your mig unless you wish to be banned.
