The Switch Flashcart Thread (Mig Switch/UnlockSwitch etc.)

[TheStonedModder]

Remember how mass production “started” a month ago?

And yet all those “reviewers” that got early versions have as useful of a product as everyone else. This is looking more and more like a grift by the day. They don’t know how to actually make it work with the switch OS like the Mig.

But they have a bank account with multiple zeros ! Please understand

A balance of $0.00 is technically multiple zeros

If I get brave and update a game ( vice city) because that's the only one so far the requires an update to play , and I get banned will I still be able to play offline with the other games. I wiped one of my kids old switches that they don't play and made another account so I really don't care too much about a ban . I just use this for long car rides. Mig v1 on an unmodded switch.

That happen when you don't read/understand the documentation, the bans have nothing to do with the account, are per console. Wipe a console DO NOT prevent a ban.

I didn't realize updating games was a risk. Why is that risky if the dump is legitimate?

If dump is UNIQUE, YOURS and COMPLETE should be no problem on upgrade/download DLC BUT IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS your console will be banned

If the game isn’t from that public dump updating should be fine

I’ve been updating games from my MIG

Any news from Unlocked if they provided the firmware yet?

hmm... so strange.
Well I hope they release one soon. Still curious about it.

As I understand it, they will only provide the programming software for their device, so it will still be a paperweight without the firmware to run backups.

For context, check their twitter/x post. I am a new user, so I can't link it directly: /UnlockSwitch/status/1795196800397189218

I've seen it. I just still is baffled why they would send it out without any software.

Seems they only sell the hardware and the firmware will be «develop» by different independent groups, supposedly Open source.

Hello, I just got my migswitch and I'm having some problems.

I have dumped some games but I don't get all of them. I put about 11 games in their folders (.xci) and their data files, but I only get 4 games.

What could be the problem ?


Thanks.

No full dumps, invalid folder/files names (UTF-8 characters), damaged SD Card.

read previous posts.

rename files/folders to simple names


tests your sd card

Does anyone know anything about these groups? And why would they make such firmware for free? I have a feeling UnlockSwitch will try to trick as many people as possible into buying their "dummy" flashcards with the promise that the firmware will come later from someone else. I hope to be proven wrong though.

they probably think it will help them not to be sued if it has no firmware, or they haven't found anyone to change Migs firmware enough to look it like their own.lol

May be another light paperweight?

They have promised everything and not delivered any firmware or a working product for now! hardware that for now is not working!

Do you think anyone tried to see if the mig FW was compatible? Or is that a stupid question? I'm pretty new here but very fascinated.
