Are dumped Nintendo Switch 2 Edition cartridges safe to use / recognizable?
For example Pokemon Legends Z-A or Zelda Tears of the Kingdom cartrdiges like this (they work on Switch 1 as well):

As per https://github.com/DarkMatterCore/nxdumptool/commit/4c9989e59da787a1147bb587143ee974844dc6eb:

With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, T2 gamecards are now finally out in the wild. These use an alternate chain of trust model based on a per-cart RSA certificate used to control gamecard comms with individual blacklisting support, completely ditching the old titlekey area based chain of trust model (which means these gamecards offer no Initial Data area at all).Both Switch 2 and hybrid ("Switch 2 Edition") gamecards fall into this category whenever they're used under Switch 1

As I understand the Switch 1 can only see the Switch 1 part of the cartridge, and hopefully mig simulates that.
I just wonder if anyone has ever tried using a dumped Switch 2 Edition game and if they work at all or are not supported yet.

There’s no way to even dump switch 2 games

Def not emulate on mig. It would need all need hardware

I meant switch 2 edition games, not switch 2 games.
Supposedly nxdt can do that (meaning dumping the switch 1 part). Am I misinformed?
