Doesn't really fit the size on the scratching

I thought so too, looks photoshopped. It would be sad if somebody ruined their MIG Switch by replacing the chips over.

Like others have commented also. It is on a brand new X account, so bet it's the Dev team trying to push everyone off the scent.

Just so dumb. Anyway with Eprom technical know how will know how to probe these chips.

that has to be legit. now people can dissect and figure out how much it costs them to make it. probably about 10 bucks or so idk

The chips are quite blurry in the photoshop edit.

I went and got another photo from a reviewer video, to compare it also. Def different chips. Def photoshopped.

Just so I'm not following this thread without sharing my two cents...

I don't get the point of faking the chips. Eventually, everybody will have access to the Mig Switch and therefore know what exactly is being used. It just seems like they're trying to delay the inevitable to me.

I mean if someone crack the .s2 file, they already will have all the info. Plus they need to open the .s2 anyway to find that info needed to emulate the cartridge

It does work with normal .xci.
They simply are marketing it as you need to supply your own dumps to avoid legal actions from Nintendo. That's all.

So Do normal SCENE XCIs RUN?
Dont you need other files?

Need the initialdata.bin too.

 

[zebrone]

Need the initialdata.bin too.

So are useless or you can extract 'initial data' from a scene xci?

I remember at the beginning of the Nintendo Switch hacking scene, the tests indicated that the unique certificates were interchangeable, obviously 2 identical certificates online would ring alarm bells and lead to the ban of both console serials. If, with the advent of the migswitch, certificates began to circulate, it would be a massacre

If so, this explains why Mig Team ha released this card in the endlife of Switch.

nop....XCI on internet don't have this information

The one on the left looks like it could be lattice ICE40UP5, the one on the right could be Expressive ESP32S2, the retail for both of them together is like 11$, if bought in large quantities it would be much much less I suppose. We could expect Chinese knockoffs for half the price in 2 or 3 months, since the margin on them is so high.

Do you have to use the certificate dumped from the original game or can you use a single certificate with all games?

 

[TomSwitch]

In theory, if you did this offline, then ejected the cart, then went back online, wouldn't there be red flags transmitted that you did this? Telementry saved and sent? (ban) I know it all speculation still right now.

I suppose if you used a known pirated copy it is technically possible for Nintendo to catch you when you go online as it is possible to remember every cart played on the console but I have close to 100% confident that they won't do it. Anyway you are going to only use your person original copy right? There is no way Nintendo can do to detect a perfect clone other than seeing two appearing online at the same time.

Or get telemetry data that can get flagged as well

I imagine there is a few ways to see a Mig, one is does your console constantly play duplicated certificates, and then pair that with data on how fast titles switch if they gather that, maybe pair that data with the constant use of duplicated certificates. If you have a console that only plays duplicate certs and switches games quickly, it would be a console using a Mig. But maybe they have easier ways. We will have to wait and see.
