is there any news actually in here?

I skimmed and it seemed like a 14min video of a rando whispering into his mic with a bunch of random gameplay.

Plus that thumbnail isnt even switch related...

I'm not 100% sure where I got the images, but I think that it was an aliexpress listing. But it's been a month or so since I downloaded them. They are also not in the video because YT doesn't like that stuff.

PCB is the same color

I know that doesnt say everything. But that already makes me believve its just another rebrand

Yknow like Unlock switch did with Mig Switch. @Unlockswitch or whatever your lurking account is (you where signed in, in ur screenshots) Maybe yall can finally admit things

i found a guy selling a mig flash v2 locally and i'm really excited to use it. i just can't seem to get it to work, hoping someone can show me what to do if i'm doing it wrong. here's what i have

i'm using windows 10 and an Onn 128gb micro sd for switch(realized i didn't have any extra cards so i grabbed this from Walmart this morning)
i formatted it to exFAT.
the first time i updated the mig i made the mistake of having game files on it at the same time, hoping that didn't' fuck everything up forever somehow.
formatted the card again and updated it to 1.1.6 with no other files on the card
i put one game on it to test, just straight from the big download with no changes so i'd think the structure is fine unless I'm missing something. I've tried it in the folder and no folder just on the root of the sd, as well as deleting the index file. either way it just gives me the card can't be read error. mig just flashes green on top

i'm waiting to download another game to try out and see if maybe that's whats wrong

thanks, any help is appreciated

That game size looks very wrong

Are you using it on an unmodded Switch?
Or are you running Atmosphere on top?

Could be a trimmed XCI which is fine

Try renaming the files inside the main .xci folder to ROM.xci instead of game name although it shouldn't make a difference.

Also latest mig flash update is 1.1.9.

Akso issue could be the poor quality microSD card you are using. I wouldn't trust any Walmart branded electronics like microSD cards. Get a quality card like Sandisk, Samsung or other known good brands.

i just got pokken dx to finish downloading so i'm gonna try that now

Are you using it on an unmodded Switch?

oh i forgot to say yeah i'm using atmosphere. does that change things?

Ive used it on both

I have also never gotten a trimmed XCI working. So I would just avoid those


Also be aware you are going to get banned for pirating games with it

If you have auto nogc set to enable no switch cart will work.

It depends, if your fuse count doesn't your installed FW.
Are you using an emuMMC? If so, how far apart is your sysMMC from your emuMMC?

Or let me ask this way, can you use game cartridges while running Atmosphere?
If not, then the error comes from some NoGC config.

If yes, then try another SD card in your MIG.

If that ALSO doesn't work, you can start to panic.

thanks, this was turned on in hekate. still getting an error tho so i'm gonna update the mig to 1.1.9 and check the atmosphere file in notepad i guess

I've honestly never used a real game cart. i did accidentally update to 20.0.0 when it launched recently so i'm assuming i blew some fuses or something there. i could never get emuMMC to work when i first put atmosphere on so it's all on sysMMC.

i might as well order another sd card to see. is there one that's known to be reliable for the mig?

Hopefully a bunch of clones come out, and drops the price to NDS flash cart price tier. I would so buy one for fun, if they dropped to like 20 bux.

if it hasnt happend yet i think its gonna be a while longer if ever

At this point there really isnt much point in cloning this with switch 2 being almost out

Anyone left is jsut going to mod that since it supports switch 1games when they can, or mod their older units now

Im sure there will be some whod still want this..but not nearly enouigh to sink the cost into developing now unless it also has switch2 support

Was the file name of the trimmed xci the same as the folder it was in? If the xci dump was named something like SUPER MARIO MAKER 2 [01009B90006DC000][v0] (trimmed).xci, then it will not work / be found. Naming it SUPER MARIO MAKER 2 [01009B90006DC000][v0].xci should work however.

That’s exactly what I was doing

Both the folder and XCI had trimmed in their names

That explains that

Yeah, removed the trimmed and it should work.

Fwiw, next version of sphaira will have an option to fix trimmed xci (either trim or un-trim) in place, without needing to redump the xci. You should be able to plug a usb / SD adapter into the dock to mount it. I needed this myself because I dumped all my games as the full size, rather than trimmed...then I realised trimmed files worked.
