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.

Hello
So, i've had this trouble for a long while with Hyrule Warrior AoC and haven't any other for this long while, so i only though it was a bug with the game, but it now occurs also with Crysis that i just bought...
I explain, i'm used to use the gyroscope to aim at precise spot and the joystick to move the camera faster.
But mixing both seems to be buggy with my switch, because randomly, when i go for the gyroscope, it just doesn't work, the camera doesn't move at all with the gyroscope...
I always have to move the camera manually with the joystick to make it turn back on, however, it doesn't always work...
Like... sometimes, i have to budge the joystick many time in order to turn the gyroscope back on...
Is it normal? Is there a way to fix this? Do i have to sens it to nintendo?
Is it a lifetime warrenty like the joycon drift?
If it isn't, how much is it worth to fix it?
And is there a free way to fix it first?

Thanks for your answers
