Nintendo is getting attacked from three sides. 1. Custom Firmware 2. Emulation 3. Mig Switch. After Nintendo's recent shutdown of Yuzu and Citra, I don't feel sorry for Nintendo. The seven seas is waiting for everyone.
Well yuzu team was shady af. Their product was never emulation, more like hacky patches to have games running. Unfortunaly they had best 3ds emulator and only working one, which was sad it got in crossfire.
Except these cards can't even really be used for piracy. You'll need an legit signature and obviously their servers would be looking at suspicious activities such as the same signature being used at the same time on different consoles
Ordered mig switch the day they went live for preorder and still haven’t received. Don’t really need it since I have a hacked v1, but still pretty bummed 😔
A push button game changer would be nice if one was built into the Mig Switch would be better then trying to solder a connection should one mess up their Mig Switch.
I don't think this is very practical yet. Hopefully it will get to a point where it is more like a traditional flash card. I had a modchip installed in my switch oled while on holiday in asia for about 90$ and I am super happy with it.
If it’s from a place of having a usable copy of games and wanting to use an unofficial back up copy. Then you could buy a suitable micro SD for two or three specific games. I don’t know example… buy a 64gb card to have BOTW, TOTK and Skyward Sword on. Take out the Mig swap the Micro SD card to a 32gb Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario 3D All Stars, and Super Mario Bros Wonder loaded Micro SD card for example. If you know what I mean? That way you aren’t having to cycle through 30+ games in one go and mess up that cart port.
@@billballmar6003 migswitch are made in Russia and with what’s going on with war they are looking at new ideas to hack people..Nintendo aren’t going to stand by and let this item go on forever ..once it’s fully out they will push an update to block it and you could end up having your Nintendo account banned….dont trust it you have been told…get one and you’ll soon find out..that’s even if you get hold of it
I preordered ordered a Mig Switch and Dumper from Modded Hardware back in February and it's still pending fulfillment. I checked their website and everything is sold out on it. Lol
Im the same. I filed a CC Dispute on that one. Im not confident Ill see an order from him. Still waiting on my order from one other supplier. He at least communicates with me though
I ordered my stuff back in January, be patient. I got my cart on march and still waiting for the Dumper that i as-well preordered in January. This is not Nintendo or Microsoft. you're pre ordering from non license seller/private seller who is a reseller not manufacturer. The Manufacturer relies on Chinese factory to produce them and then shipped to the Manufacture in which he/she ships the inventory around the world to resellers.
So, on the 25th of May 24, mig switch V2 is now out and has a button to change the game...quick push to go forward and a push and hold to move backward.
@GearsAndTech yea sadly I am waiting for mine...I ordered it like 5 days ago so I guess I'll be getting the V2 which is cool, but probably going to take longer😥
I don’t get why it’s limited to one game at once??? For the FNAF physical release, it puts all five games onto your home menu at once when you pop in the cartridge, couldn’t a flashcart display games in groups of 5 or something similar? Is there some kind of software restriction?
Your switch will show all the games on your home screen, but you have to cycle the game to get the one you want to play on top. New knockoffs are coming with solutions to these problems
These idiots seriously thought they could make money by stirring hype and mystery. Never trust the Chinese [with keeping secrets]. They should have gone ahead and open sourced the design and software files. All they did was hurt the consumers [with teasing and false advertising] and slow everything down.
Then you should sell anything you own including the clothing your wearing "were do you think they came from?" No one was hurt if so please provide supporting briefs for all to read and backtrack the validity of the claims.
@@billballmar6003 there are massive leaps in logic in your reply (I'm not even sure you're replying to the right comment). I wasn't criticizing the Chinese, but the migswitch team. 3 months later and we still don't have the dumper except for 1 single youtuber, some people don't even have their flash carts which they preordered back in January and the people who think they ordered both will only get the cart without a refund. That would not have happened if they had just open sourced the design. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful that we are finally getting a switch and wii-U flash cart and the work they put into the project. Corrections in my original comment will be marked with [ ]
I'm holding out for one with buttons, on the top. Idk if you remember the sky 3ds, but I absolutely love the design of that cart. I only hope that an updated version of the mig will accept simple nsp and xci files. I haven't thoroughly researched it because I quickly lost interest due to the inconvenient way of cycling through the games.
Me too, i cant wait. We will eventually get a classic Flash Cart like we already have for DS and 3DS. It will be the Flash Carts where we can actually play Roms
If there is a firmware update thay contains a file that has a complete certificate file list for all switch games and xci compatibility would be awesome. So you add your xci file and it knows your backup file name and runs it due to the inbuilt certificate.. Or a certificate generator for backups..
Cert generator would be better Need signing authority to do that though. If migswitch wanted horrible attention they could add a lookup file you can drop into the device storage and have it merge the file you need No point for them to do that though
Thanks for jumping in on the conversation. I believe you about how many you've seen. The chip being widely known is the first step to knock offs coming The second step is not taking all the production capacity of the place that makes them. As soon as that happens the extra capacity gets filled up by 3rd party and all of a sudden you have direct copy clones running around. They are on the horizon.
Button would not work for me as I use the Switch docked. Remote would work better for me. Don't think this is something I will buy until after the next Nintendo console comes out. I just don't like doing anything 'funky' on current hardware. I will wait and probably eventually mod (I know the MIG isn't really a mod...).
@@GearsAndTech proof of 18 working is out but u didn't provide it. u shouldn't claim something if u dont know it. (clearly u don't know it works by this comment).

I'm not sure it will be. Nintendo is going hard after everyone involved in these things
I think it wont since the Card back then was avaible during prime DS times. Switch is in its final stage now

Will do!
Funny that esp32 is being used
If it works....
I hope we get some US clones. :)
They are coming for sure
@@GearsAndTech What I want to see the most is the "Dumper" that will be a game changer when it arrives.
They just need to release an android APP that allows you to pick the game you want. It would be better than the remote
That would be cool. Probbaly not that hard if you use Bluetooth to connect
If there is a firmware update thay contains a file that has a complete certificate file list for all switch games and xci compatibility would be awesome.
So you add your xci file and it knows your backup file name and runs it due to the inbuilt certificate..
Or a certificate generator for backups..
Cert generator would be better
Need signing authority to do that though.
If migswitch wanted horrible attention they could add a lookup file you can drop into the device storage and have it merge the file you need
No point for them to do that though
@@GearsAndTech better to wait until the clones come in and switch has left the market.. then it's on for young and old.
