The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch etc.)

[SecureBoot]

Have you tried a different microSD card? It could just be incompatible or a fake.

Not yet. I'm in the middle of moving, but I may swing by Walmart tomorrow to pick up a sandisk. This one says SanDisk on it, but I'm not sure where it came from so it could be a fake

You can use something like H2testw to verify the microSD card is fully functioning.

Imagine taking your MIG Switch flashcart to the one of the conventions where people could try out the Switch 2 before release. Can they even access the game card slot?

Switch 2 Stolen From Factory

Tried with a brand new san disk micro SD card and still no dice. I think this unit is DOA

Just to verify one last thing. Have you ever hacked this switch to run homebrew? I had an issue on my banned Switch due to the game cart slot not being allowed to update.

or the NOGC setting on hekate

That's what I was talking about. Couldn't remember what it was called. That setting caused the Mig Flash to give the game card read error.

Nope, this is an unmodified switch lite. I've reached out to the seller to hopefully get a replacement

Hopefully it turns out well and you get a working unit.

Perfect,

If you setup the line autonogc=1 OR kip1patch=nogc (this one needs patches.ini file) on SDMC:/bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini that «disable» the Game Cartridge slot so you can not access it from HOS nor Homebrew.

Also atmosphere can block the Game Cartridge using the file
sdmc:/atmosphere/config/stratosphere.ini adding the line nogc = 1 to it

Wanted to get a Mig Flash before the Switch 2 comes out, but was having a hard time deciding where to buy. Everyone said aliexpress, and had posted bad reviews of the official resellers. I ended up trying to order from two vendors on Aliexpress, both got cancelled/refunded after waiting a week.

I finally decided to risk it with a US reseller, migflash [dot] store. It arrived within a week, and was even cheaper than aliexpress (they emailed me a code for $5 off, MIGSWITCH5).

I hope this isn't seen as spam, not affiliated with them in any way, just hoping to help anyone else that's in my situation in the future. Since the reviews everywhere just seem awful lol.

I bought from the other 2 that were originally listed on the Mig Flash US resellers website. Modphoria took 2 months but Mig Switch United was much quicker.

I see that 2 new resellers are now listed. I can't vouch for those.

Is there a reseller that is closer to where you live? International shipping sucks sometimes.

Geographically they are the most near, but have no sense that high cost of S&H

US Domestic shipping has gotten ridiculous in the past year.

A 13 ounce small package from the US to Columbia is $35 for me. 5 ounces is $20.

Is it not possible to cycle backwards with a double click of the button? Pretty sure they had this feature on sky3ds
