Hardware Mig Switch on Switch 2

[the_otsutsuki]

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 hours to know if it works.

following for this

wait people own that thing??? i thought it was a scam NGL

Let me guess people here told you that correct?

 

[Xalusc]

I think it's been confirmed that it won't work as is, but might work with a firmware update or something

Still in line

Still in line

Thank you for the update.

Btw, supposedly the MIG wont work without an SD express card on it, not the regular ones from the OG Switch. I dont know if you saw that so in case it dosnt work, would you mind testing it with an SD express card

 

[RatchetRussian]

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 dumped immediately using nxdumptool using MIG's official recommended process. The Switch 2 is fully updated.

UPDATE June 10th, 2025: Migflash posted a video on their site of the system actually opening games using the migswitch. I eagerly await their update to test using only my own, legit game dumps to be able to test if I get banned.

UPDATE June 18th, 2025: My Switch 2 was banned. I did not even get to use the new MIG update. I was banned because of my attempt to use it on launch day. No other actions were taken since then. This means it might be possible to use the MIG without a ban if you only use it with the new MIG update. (I am not complaining. I fully expected to be banned. Just sharing a datapoint)

Thanks for the quick update, I also don't think it must use express card, they themself are still waiting for the unit to do further testing. It's just a false claim.

Game full dumped with 5 files inside the directory?

yes

 

[dasfteg]

yes

It looks like the switch 2 has a hardware check against MigSwitch. Do you have a Switch2 cartridge to see if it fits in the Switch1?

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 running tests on the cart.

I'm sure eventually flashcarts will be able to work for at least Switch 1 games.

What's your first impression about new console?

 

[SecureBoot]

At least you didn't get banned!

Just popped a threadmark on this so people coming into the thread can find it easily. Thanks for testing it out!

Whilst I agree with the consensus that this does not work and won't work without a possible fw update from Mig, Imagine if the game you dumped and tested is one of the very few Switch 1 games that doesn't work with Switch 2's emulation layer

Just thinking out loud

Oh hey more proof that MiG flash store are scumbags

Is that email from the official store or a reseller? That’s pretty egregious.

Some public libraries have Switch games, you can always check if your local library has video games.

It’s from an official store

Dude has been slimey since day 1. He takes 6+ months to ship orders (if he ever does) otherwise he just marks it as fulfilled and scams his customer

He sent multiple of these emails too, so it wasn’t a one off mistake. It was deliberate just like every other malicious action he did like..Sending false legal threats to competitors so that their registar gets shut down
