mig dumper home bru app?

[ulao]

I'm looking to buy a mig switch cart, and I get that you need a dumper to put data on it. But at the price, its got me wondering? I already have a hacked switch, I just want to get the mig switch for my unpatched console. Is there no way to use my hacked switch and dump right to the mig cart from there? Do I really need to buy a dumper?

If you've got a hacked Switch you can use the Mig Dumper app to dump your legit games. You can't just put any pirated game on the Mig as your console can get flagged. It's been said many times already that using a Mig can put you at risk.

Your console is hacked already, so it's recommended to setup an EmuNAND if you're going to play your backups, and make sure that it is fully offline.

My consoles is already banned, I do not use it for online gaming. I also run emuNAD. My concern is not dumping games, its putting them on to the mig card.

Once they are on the card I hope to use that on my unhacked switch ( off line ).

If I understand this mig card 2 will hold x amount of games, and I can change them via a button. So I could just turn it on, make sure its not online, and play the game? But the main question is, can I put games on the mig card from my hacked switch.

If you don't have your own dump of the game you would get banned.

Well, to be honest I could care less about banning. But I have my own games and I'm good with dumping them. Once dumped can I put them on the mig card without a PC.

Still the question I want to know is can I put say 7 dumped games on to this card, via my hacked swtich?

You can if you want, kinda waste to use a mig switch with a modded switch.

I'm failing myself here I think?? -- not going to use it on my hacked switch, I put games on it wit my hacked switch.

I have 1 hack swtich
I have 1 normal swtich

I have a need to buy a mig card for the non hacked swtich

I want to:

Take my mig card put it in my hack swtich
put games on it
take it out, and put it in my non hack swtich
Play games

The point in all of this is to not buy that damn dumper. I think its pointless if I can use my hacked switch as a dumper. But can I do it? IS there any home brew app that lets me put games on the mig card?

You would need a pc to transfer the files, and also to update the firmware on the Mig itself. You can read more about it in this thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-switch-flashcart-thread-mig-switch-unlockswitch-etc.651852/

I believe NX shell supports usb drives so OP may be able to get away with plugging in a usb to sd adapter either on the tablet itself or switch dock usb port and copy the files that wa


Worst case scenario a mobile device will also work. I use my iPad and a USB c to sd adapter

You can use nxdumptool (the rewrite release) to do full cart backups with a modded switch. It dumps the card's contents (XCI), header, certificate, initial data, cardIDset, the HashFS partition and some other information as well. On a modded switch, the XCI is all you need to run a game. I think the MIG needs some of the additional data to "emulate" a valid game cart.

This is as good as it is going to get. With the data obtained by the tool you ought to be able to create a legit image for the MIG. Basically a clone of your existing cart. Granted, I am not familiar with what sort of data an XCI on a MIG needs to be able to run games on an unmodified console. I hope it is not some sort of proprietary format where only games from their dumper will work or something.

Either way, nxdumptool dumps pretty much all you can dump from a game cart, and if that data is not sufficient to create legit XCI images of your carts then you may have to go and buy the dumper.

Does the MIG come with any sort of documentation on how to piece together valid XCI files with the data output by nxdumptool? Considering you have the carts certificate, header, initial data, cardIDset and the hashFS partition you should, in theory be able to utilize it with a MIG. Maybe someone in the community has done the process before and there's a tutorial or tool out there somewhere on how to create legit XCI files not using their proprietary dumper.

You don’t need to pit the files back together. The MIG can play the files as parts as they are dumped

They have their own rebranded fork of nxdumptool migdump

Well, to be honest I could care less about banning.

Right but your games and whoever borrows them might be banned too if Nintendo finds out.

Basically you can't share your dumps because the license key is unique to each cartridge and Nintendo will revoke the license of any cartridge that is used on multiple consoles simultaneously. Once that license is revoked they know whoever has that copy could also be a pirate and may ban them too. This has happened to some people, games would be dumped & returned and then normal customers of game stores would get banned and have their copy of the game flagged.

So that's something to keep in mind if you lend anyone your games.
