The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch etc.)

[DandareBR]

First of all do legit carts work?

Yes, they do

Are you SURE the SD card is formatted in exFAT and the update.s2 file is in the root of the SD card? It is recommended to use the official SD Card Formatter from: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

This will properly format the card in exFAT and give the card its best performance.

Use a blank card to firmare update

Tried again using an old 4gb Micro SD. Formated it exFAT and copied the 1.2.0 firmware to the root of the card. Inserted it in the Mig Switch and inserted the migswitch in my Switch 1. It flased 3 times while/pink light and I got an "Can't read the gamecard" error message

The Switch can't read an empty Mig Flash. Check the SD card for a hidden file called .nxindex in the root of the SD card with a Hex Editor. It will show the installed version.

Ok, now remove the small card and put back the card with games, make sure you do not have the upgrade firmware file on the root of this card and try again.

At the end of this file I have "1.2.0 >> Migflash.com" So it seams that the Migswitch is updated. Now I need to know why it cant see and read my dumped games.

I'll try dumping another game

I wonder what exactly was changed in the firmware for the mig to get it working.
Hoping that it wasn't a dirty fix that will be detectable, for this reason I'm going to stick with the original carts on the switch 2 for now.

Someone has been banned apparently I would avoid mig on switch 2 until more bans happen he coulda made bad dumps or something theres no way of knowing, he says he dumped his own games and put them on there, i went online with mig on switch 1 on newest fw at the weekend and am fine so far there

That "hopefully" at the end sounds like a huge red flag.

I wouldn't expect anything from this.

Release the firmware already...

 

[ccfman2004]

The person who had their Switch 2 banned for supposedly using the Mig Flash, they didn't say if their dumps were trimmed or not. It could be that Nintendo is now checking ROM sizes now.

Does the dumper trim files?

 

[ccfman2004]

Both the Mig Flash USB Dumper and their NRO dumper trim dumps. Nintendo CAN detect if a ROM is trimmed but didn't seem to ban anyone on the Switch 1 for it. I wonder if they are now enforcing it.

ok question has probably been asked a million times sorry i couldnt see it


can migswitch v2 play dlc/update files of games? how would that work

does it still work in nintendo switch 2?

and does a migswitch work same pretty much as a modded paper clip switch 1

1. Mig Flash can only play retail updates/DLC that you got from Nintendo Online. You cannot use fake signed packages.
2. DO NOT use on Switch 2 until the scene figures out how Nintendo is detecting the Mig Flash.
3. NO. Mig Flash can only play properly dumped retail games from carts. You cannot use modified ROMs.

theres probably something on the cart that was unused on switch 1 but is now being used on the switch 2 hence why they werent working from the get go, i am wondering though regarding these bans we have no way of knowing if these people got banned for using with the update or got banned from trying to use the mig on the previous firmware which resulted in an error message and probably produced logs, bans normally take like 5 days to happen in my experience

This should make perfect dumps, no trim or such.
