I've seen this repeated by many people on different sites, so don't take this as me questioning you personally, but is there an original source for this claim that the switch logs persist through a factory reset? Maybe someone dumped the internal memory after getting a modchip?

I've got some experience with OS dev and my understanding was that factory resets are conventionally designed to get it back to an actual literal clean slate (besides the device specific partitions for stuff like serial number and wireless hardware MACs). Leaving some files through a wipe creates a risk for bricking longterm and can make it much harder for service techs (though I guess nintendo might give their techs jtag-like hardware debugging methods)
Unfortunately, I can't link you to the source of the "logs persist after a factory reset" claim, but Switch banning hub might have an answer for you. @Draxzelex might be the one to ask for the source.

Surprised it took this long for someone to reference the R4 branding. The plus side of the clones means we will have much more real data of what does or doesn't ding you with Nintendo

From UnlockSwitch's Telegram group:

For the launch, as planned, we know you’re eagerly waiting for the UnlockSwitch Solo priced at 24.90$.

It will be available exclusively to followers of our Twitter account.

(Your Twitter account will be required during checkout in the shopping cart.)

Quick reminder:

The UnlockSwitch Solo (without WiFi antenna), Purple Edition, comes with its programmer and cables, just as shown in the pictures attached to this post.

Stock is limited to only 10,000 units. After that, we will only sell the UnlockSwitch PBS kit. Once sold out, there will be no further production!

No pre-orders available!

Product in stock = purchase available

Product out of stock = no purchase possible

The online store will be activated and announced 24 hours in advance on Twitter.

So yes, production is in full swing :)

I still wonder if we'll see the working unit reviews before they announce the sale... I'd like to get the full kit so thankfully it'll be available after the flashcarts are sold. Limited availability is what worries me a bit. ^^

How is following them on Twitter enforceable? Bizarre requirement.

Is MIG still the best if so where is the best place to purchase for a person from Australia? thanks
Probably AliExpress. They had one store for the Australia called MIG Switch AU and they're apparently out of stock, according to their website.
If you aren't in a hurry, I'd wait for the UnlockSwitch to see if they're product works or not. It should be much cheaper than the MIG Switch and the Dumper.

Just to clarify, if I buy UnlockSwitch Solo without WiFi antenna and I don't use my own cartridges to play the games, my console will be banned as soon as I connect it to the internet, is this right?

I believe so, yeah. Unless those dumps are full, complete dumps that you personally dumped or got from a friend in your "cart sharing group", you should be fine as long as two or more of you aren't playing the same game at the same time. Again, provided that UnlockSwitch works as the MIG Switch.

Makes sense. Regarding the telemetry, would this be wiped during a factory reset?
Post automatically merged:


This is basically what I was referring to. Just comparing migswitch (which I’ve already purchased) with a picofly. Does the system store logs that upload to Nintendo servers when you connect to the internet like they do with the mig?
There is no difference. Since your emunand will never go online nothing will ever be uploaded and sysnand stays clean.

Assuming they even use emunand

It’s such a pain to keep up with. Mine just boots to a black screen now, it’s easier to just not use it and be careful

From the UnlockSwitch's Telegram group:
After careful consideration and especially after reviewing all your feedback on our recent post, we’ve decided to produce two batches of 10,000 units of the UnlockSwitch Solo.

Quick reminder:

The UnlockSwitch Solo (without WiFi antenna), Purple Edition, comes with its programmer and cables.

Once half of the first batch is sold, we’ll immediately start the second production run.

Following that, our focus will shift to the UnlockSwitch PBS kit, which includes a 2-in-1 setup: UnlockSwitch with an integrated WiFi antenna, its programmer, and the Xtractor.

We hope this news excites everyone. Wishing you all a great weekend!
