The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch etc.)

[rayida]

They even required YouTubers to join a private discord for some silly reason

People like MVG declined for that reason alone

Didn't realise MVG had commented on Unlock, was this on one of his videos, the Spawncast, his twitter or somewhere else? A confirmation from MVG that the product worked as advertised would be priceless, and at the complete opposite end of the scale as "We're only accepting bitcoin" in terms of credibility.

Production of the UnlockSwitch PBS and the Xtractor kicks off this week, and yes, we’re stocking up ahead of time!

We’ve had a lot of discussions with the OpenMig team behind the scenes, and their firmware will be compatible with the UnlockSwitch . We can’t wait to see it shared widely!

So they'll provide the hardware for the OpenMig guys?

 

[metroid maniac]

No problem. As expected, I had to put in another game for the remote button to work and cycle between the games.

This begs the question - what if the other cartridge is also a mig?

I believe that it'll keep switching the games on both and you'll reach the desired game 2x faster.
For the best results, you can get the 8 game card reader and 8 MIGs. Imagine that insanity... (I think there's one with 8 game cards i.e. the one where the other four aren't just for storage.)

I wanted to buy MIG Switch initially in order to use it on my v2 Switch Mario Red edition, MIG Switch would be a perfect fit for it color-wise.

Someone on the MiG Reddit before it got shut down was doing that

He had like 4 of those cart switches all full with migs

Seemed hella inefficient but hey it’s not my life

Is the cost of 4 migs worth the minor inconvenience of manually ejecting a cartridge to change a game?? I did it a lot when setting my stuff up but afterwards I stuck on one game at a time for awhile.

It's just a flex I guess, 2 migs should do the same thing.

 

[impeeza]

I really do not know what to believe.

I just got 2 Migs V2 from AliExpress and relieved myself from those pretenders @UnlockSwitch

Considering you STILL can’t use sleep mode without the game ejecting itself. I would say no it’s north worth it one bit

This is the first I'm hearing of this, what's the deal?

It’s exactly like it sounds. Put more than 1 game on your MiG (it happens with 1 but not nearly as often) launch a game and put your switch into sleep mode

It will either still work when you go to play it in an hour or so, or wake up to a game ejected message. It’s VERY random. Sometimes I can leave my switch in sleep mode for a day or more, and others it can be asleep for as little as 5 minutes and it will eject


But a lot less so with only 1 game on the sd card at a time…which defeats the whole purpose.

Does this only occur with the v1? I'll have to see if I can replicate this on the v2.

I don’t have a v2 so idk anything about it

 

[retnuh730]

Ok I have both and I've never had this issue FWIW

I was about to mention that dude before I saw your reply. He was going use 1Tb cards in each Mig too, and even toyed with the idea of daisy chaining a second 8 in 1 reader on to the first. Mental. Wish I could remember his username so could follow how his project is going.

He surely had lots of money to spend.

Sercurity measures? Is this thing gonna have DRM?

Sercurity measures? Is this thing gonna have DRM?

Wasn't their whole thing being Open Source??

I think more measures to be able to extract the firmware from the devices, so, no so opensource after all
