With banned switch 2 and migswitch... can you still update games

On an unbanned Switch 2, games can be updated locally via the second Switch (hacked Switch 1 or Switch 2).
On a banned Switch 2, games can only be updated locally via the second (unbanned) Switch 2.

Banned switch means more piracy. My switch 2 got banned. Got banned not because I used a migswitch or modded but because by mistake I bought a game account. Well does Nintendo think I would cry over this and just throw away my switch 2 ?

No

I did buy several switch2 games from the eshop which I still play and the ban and arrogance that nintendo uses gave me the incentive to order a migswitch and download a huge amount of pirated games. I always believed that if you cannot go thru the door you can use a window. There will always be a way around. Arrogance never wins!

Gary Bowser was arrogant and got three well-earned years in prison for his hacking/thieving/pirating arrogance. (Ask him how much fun it was for a manchild like him to be locked up in a sex-starved prison. ) That sort of arrogance clearly does not win. Nor does the arrogance of stealing and then claiming that you only steal because Nintendo is evil and/or arrogant for refusing to just let you steal without repercussions. Either grow up and stop stealing or embrace the piracy flag and admit you are a thief. Only complete losers steal and pretend their theft is some kind of crusade.

So, you have
- 1 airplane switch 2 with fw 20.1.1 (unbanned)
- 1 Updated Switch 2 with fw 20.1.5 (Unbanned)

You have a Mig Game (downloaded xci via torrent for example).

Insert game on Sw2 FW 20.1.1 and not open
Insert game on SW2 FW 20.1.5
update game on SW2 FW 20.1.5 pressing + and update game (without open game).

Then, Update SW2 game via local update with SW2 20.1.5 to SW2 20.1.1

Then you can play game on Switch 20.1.1 with mig downloaded game?

Thats the way is working?

thanks for your reply

Yes, locally between the two consoles SW2 the games should update without problems. But there are two BUTs:
1. On SW2 20.1.5 you will not be able to update the game online, because the console will require updating the firmware to the current 20.2.0.
2. If you update the game from a torrent via online on Switch 2, you risk getting a ban.

I understand, about point 2), i dont know if bans are applied for launching games or loading games to home screen, but when you only use the game to be revealed on home screen and update maybe ban risk is lower.

I doubt Nintendo cares. If they detect it was from a illegal copy or a backup they will ban you.

You're just giving Nintendo more reasons to ban the Mig cart.

 

[SecureBoot]

What's the current concensus on bans after the update? If I'm understanding correctly, those who were banned were only banned if they put the cart in before the switch 2 update

 

[HardMind]

You're just giving Nintendo more reasons to ban the Mig cart

Then we just need an easy way to update games and add dlc on the cart or a way around.
Then ban means noting

 

[dolpf]

before the switch 2 update

Before the Mig update.

 

[umanno]

Did anyone manage to update No Man's Sky from the torrent on mig using a switch 1?

 

[chubbysquid]

Can anyone confirm if Mig Switch still works on the newest firmware updates on Switch 2?

I'm specifically talking about 20.2.0 and 20.3.0.

 

[switchy99]

Can anyone confirm if Mig Switch still works on the newest firmware updates on Switch 2?

I'm specifically talking about 20.2.0 and 20.3.0.

MigSwitch with firmware 1.2.2 works flawlessly with 20.2.0 and 20.3.0.

I have like 30 dumped games and use the MigFlash Card every day. My Switch 2 has never seen a real Switch 2 Cartridge

Sounds like you're making it to be piracy. Can't say I blame Nintendo, then.

 

[HerrBios]

I really not get the point why spend so much money, just to get the switch 2 banned at the end, no good games yet for it.... just buy a cheap used switch one and use the migswitch there ?!

No need to be afraid my friend. You don't have to use it if you don't want to.
