Hello guys, this is my first post here! I just got a MIG Switch card out of curiosity and I was tinkering with it. For those who don't know, it's used by placing XCI dumps as well as other game specific bin files in the sd card of the MIG Switch, and are obtained from the original cartridge by using an app like nxdumptool. Two of these bin files are mandatory to get the game to boot: Initial Data.bin and Certificate.bin. They stay the same for every cartridge of a specific game. Now, if you want to use an XCI dump from a shady website it's impossible to get it to work without those files. By using the Certificate.bin from another game it has no problem, but this does not count for the Initial Data.bin. So I looked for a way to obtain this Initial Data from an XCI file and read a bit of the XCI file documentation from switchbrew dot org. Here's what I understood so far: The Switch checks if the cartridge is valid by doing a challenge–response authentication on the Initial Data. The Package ID is contained both on the XCI and the Initial Data, on positions 0x110 and 0x0 respectively. The Initial Data hash is on the XCI at position 0x160. It is calculated by doing a SHA-256 hash on the full Initial Data content. So I was wondering, is there a way to to construct a functional Initial Data file starting from an XCI dump? I also tried a reverse approach by editing the Package ID in the Initial Data from another game, generating the Initial Data hash and putting it in the XCI file but is not enough to get the Switch believe it's a real game. Sorry if this may seem stupid but let me know what you think.

mig switch not working/updating??

Joy Con Mod - Eject Button as Switch for RCM

Looking for Joy Con mod to be perfect without damaging Joy Con's appearance and activating
RCM mode without having to use the Metal Clip, I decided to make one that was PERFECT, and I decided
to share with you, so that they too can do their best and their way.

Necessary materials:
SMD TACT SWITCH 0.6mm
AWG32 Wires
Welding with tin
Soldering iron with temperature control set to 200 ° C
And be very good at dealing with soldering iron and be very careful.

Just follow the photos and do as the pictures show.

If you want to buy SMD TACT SWITCH 0.6mm, follow the link:
ICSTACK

* SMD TACT SWITCH 0.6 mm as shown with green color circle, number 2 in the image in the last figure of this tutorial. *

Because I was inspired by their project that he created and so I decided to use his project to make it more practical and accessible to everyone.

STEP 1: Turn the SMD TACT SWITCH button under the eject until!

STEP 2: SMD TACT SWITCH Welding on Pins 10 and 1

STEP 3: Be careful not to break the ends of the wires as they are fragile.

STEP 4: Pins 10 and 1

STEP 5: Do not pick up the soldering iron over the dots as this can damage the soldering point.

STEP 6: Insert SMD TACT SWITCH under the EJECT button until it snaps into place.
If it does not fit under the EJECT button, cut one of its edges to be perfect then
use SUPER GLUE Like SUPER BONDER or any glue based on "cyanoacrylate" to fix the button in place.

STEP 7: Positioning the SMD TACT SWITCH

STEP 8: Solder point on SMD TACT SWITCH

STEP 9: And this is the SMD TACT SWITCH 0.6mm twice as thin as a credit card.

And to use is it just press the sequence at all in same time for just 1 second when you Nintendo Switch is Powered Off.
"EJECT + VOLUME (+) + POWER BUTTON

AND SEE HOW IT WAS AT LAST, TOTALLY INVISIBLE.
