I could probably cut a tiny bit of the space at the top I didn’t even consider it tbh

@spinal_cord if this case is still to thick lmk but on the bottom half of the shell where hte PCB sits. There is only 2.5mm of plastic until the LID....only 2.0mm of plastic if you account for the port holes. Which could be built into the lid


The cart reader is THICC

So i've tried both just having just the update file, and have also tried with game dumps from the dumper. Down below are pictures of the SD card during both scenarios along with a picture of the files inside the xci folders from the dumper. In both scenarios when inserted into the switch the led is red for 2 seconds then turns off and switch displays a cartridge can't be read error, and when I tried to update the firmware with the dumper the led stays red and doesn't seem to do anything.

In the second image with the blacked out folder titles - what is being blacked out the name of the game or the specific rom id shown when dumping a game?

Nothing important is blacked out

People are paranoid

Updated to Sequioa and the same thing still. Are you using a C-C cable? Starting to test a couple different things to see.

Im using a C to USB A cable that came with my elgato

Changed to a reliable c-a and still got the same thing. md5 comparisons come back valid on the files that are copied, it just craps out around the .bin files. But i'm able to copy those over separately easily as well. Honestly might try 1.1.4 and see if the issues go away haha.

EDIT: now 1.1.4 is finicky too. 1.1.5 is more reliable at reconnecting after the error out. just am stuck copying one file at a time for best reliability.

Didn't Unlock Switch say a month or 2 ago that manufacturing was starting early September and shipments starting end of September? No announcement yet it seems.

I generally take everything they say with a grain of salt, even if I would like it to be true.

See it from the positive side. No preorder means no one got scammed if this turns out to be trolling.

If you convert and XCI file to NSP, is it possible to play a digital game using MIG?

No...

MIG Switch and alike does not allow you to run anything but full (or incomplete but with donor certs) XCI dump(s) and that's pretty much it. No homebrew apps, no exploits, no digital games - nothing. It's primary purpose is to allow you to play your own game backups on a single cart. It's a "decent" flashcart for a banned console, though, provided you have another unpatched Switch that you can use for updating your games on the banned console by matching the game versions between consoles connected via LAN.

New update from UnlockSwitch… using pics that look very similar to the ones they posted 2 months ago.

Isn't the Xtractor PCB supposed to be purple?

That was probably just a prototype.

Seems they joined forces with a new group that not only claims to have fully decompiled Mig Switch's firmware, but also made improvements of their own and willing to go open-source with it. I wouldn't be surprised if these OpenMig guys are just some of the actual Mig Switch team joining forces.
