Hmm...
Hmm
It'll be interesting to see if Nintendo has blocked it out.
I genuinely want to see what happens if you shove it into Switch 2.
AAIIIIIIIIEEEEEED Nintendo!!!! Sue this CHUD!!!!!!!
Itll brick the console and then send a police cruiser to your house
BIG MIG NEWS
Console bricked. In debt with Nintendo for life.
Nintendo nukes you.
But what about Sukhoi?
battery detonates
Mario comes out of the screen, beats you up and rapes you
And yet, MK World and Bananza already look more fun than Doom Dark Ages or Death Stranding 2
I genuinely want to see what happens if you shove it into Switch 2.
I bet it will work flawlessly.
Some say that it's shit. Anyone knows why?
Its indistinguishable from a real cart so it will work on the sw2
use mig 2
get banned
can no longer download game key cards
90% of library is now impossible to buy or pirate
Switch 2 will be effectively unpirateable.
can they detect the cart? I don't know much about mig
they have probably spent countless manhours to specifically detect this one and rape you if you use one
a new version will effortlessly come out the day after launch
If they could, then it would already be blocked.
They can tell if you downloaded a game from a public torrent though.
turn on airplane mode
never ever banned because it can't report jack shit to HQ
Japan invades Hawaii
It works, probably. The trouble will come from the fact that if you play a pirated game on a Switch in any capacity, whether installed or on a flashcart, Nintendo knows and will ban you nearly instantly. So flashcarts aren't actually useful in any capacity but as cartridge backups while you keep the original cartridges. Since if you think you're being clever and sell your physical games after backing them up to a flashcart, now there's two games with the same cartridge ID in existence, meaning one of you is running a backup and therefore a flashcart, so both of you are banned.
Switch logs everything you do and sends it to Nintendo when you connect online.
You gotta connect eventually to use those key cards.
You gotta connect eventually to use those key cards.
factory reset
no logs to send
connect to web, update firmware for any game that needs it
airplane mode again and continues to pirate
factory reset
no logs to send
Not how it works, going by Switch 1. Thing is fucking air tight, the only thing that really allowed piracy and homebrew to happen was that joycon rail exploit. And that wasn't even their fault, it was Nvidia's.
The logs are preserved even after factory reset. If you somehow manage to erase the logs from your console, meaning they no longer match what's already been uploaded, that's also a ban.
I know shit about Switch, but can't you just turn off Wi-Fi, do your stuff, then reset everything? Auto detection can only work so far boxed
not MUG switch
Oh got it.
it would be extremely painful
so to sum it up, just get a pc and emulate it instead of going through the trouble, got it
Couldn't I just not connect my console to the internet?
she thinks there will be an emulator
xhe thinks there won't be
No. That isn't possible.
xie thinks there's any shared hardware in Switch 2 that would allow for an emulator to pop up with any speed
Switch 1 games run in a translation layer like WINE or Proton on Linux for Windows applications btw
That's kinda besides the point, you'd need to hack the console first to dump unencrypted games, and that's not happening any time soon.
What do you mean it isn't possible? Does the thing require a constant internet connection to work?
xue wants to actually dev, not play
and to reverse engineer a day after launch
That's effectively banning yourself. I don't see any technical reason a MIG-Switch card specifically wouldn't work, since it reports itself accurately as a Switch 1 cartridge, BUT you need to allow for the following things
You have not sold or otherwise gotten rid of your real Switch 1 cartridges, so nobody else is using them
You are not playing pirated games on your MIG-Switch. Cartridge backups you've made yourself. Only. No exceptions.
You have made double sure that your cartridge backups are "full" backups, i.e. they have all identifying information dumped in addition to the actual ROM
You accept the idea that using the MIG-Switch could result in your banning at any moment in the future, even if it seems to work and you aren't banned after one or two play sessions
It's just not.
So banning doesn't brick the console?
you'd need to hack the console first to dump unencrypted games, and that's not happening any time soon.
what's stopping dumping them from a modded switch 1?
Why not you stupid bastard.
No, bans don't brick the Switch. It's much stickier with the Switch 2 due to how online-dependent it is (we have no idea if you'll be allowed to download Game Key Cards if you're banned) but it doesn't render you unable to use the console.
That's how you stay unbanned, yes. But if the Switch 2 doesn't allow you to install system updates from a card then you're basically out of luck.
MIG just kind of sucks.
You can only play cartridge backups. No DLC, no updates, and it has to copy the certificate from the donor cartridge.
Russians not even once.
ikenai
If you can load pirated games onto the flash cart wouldn't that sidestep the ban issue entirely? Just pirate all the keycard games.
they both look shit downgrades from the last in their respective series
Some games (physical carts not the keycards) will require a hard firmware update or the game won't launch at all, and if that update isnt installable without connecting online, then youre fucked, until a workaround or something else is found.
If you're in a position where you're pirating Switch 1 games it's probably more worth your while to just run them on an emulator or consign the Switch unit itself to piracy and buy a second tablet off of Ebay for safe/online play anyways. Additionally Nintendo will probably be able to tell you're using a full cartridge version of a game key card, doesn't exist, so you're banned.
You can't load eshop games onto MIG and keycard games will likely be in eshop format or something similar, not cartridge image.
So if I decide to go innawoods and cut myself off from society my Switch 2 would effectively be a useless paper weight because it requires me to be online at all times to monitor me in order to play games and the device I purchased? I think I'll pass.
1. Because of the way it mimics a real switch cart, it doesn't have any custom firmware or UI for selecting which game to load. You have to cycle through each installed ROM by repeatedly ejecting and re-slotting the card until it loads the one you want. Sometimes it's finicky about cycling so you have to do it even more times.
So it's mildly annoying to use.
2. Cartridges have unique serials, and the console's telemetry will report to Nintendo which specific cartridges you've been playing. They can then ban your console if you've been playing with a cart serial that's been marked as pirated. Wither from it being a public dump, or by you playing a self-dumped ROM and then giving the original cartridge to a friend and playing them at the same time.
So by using it you either accept that you won't be using any online functions from now on, or you could only use it with dumps of your own cartridges while also keeping the originals for yourself. Going back to 1 for the latter case, it's probably then more convenient to just swap out the real cartridges than to go through the ROM cycling procedure. I can understand a sense of security though if you were for instance traveling with your Switch, and wanted to leave your game collection at home so you don't worry about any of the original carts getting lost/stolen.
You don't have to be online at literally all times, but if you plan on literally never having internet access ever again then you would get fucked when Mario 2027 says it won't launch until you update the system firmware from your 2-years-old version, yes. Console games have had firmwaare checks like this since thhe PSWii60 days.
NIG SWITCH
LMAO
have to randomly add games tothe Switch by ejecting cart and reinserting it
sounds awful
the risk of bricking a switch 2 just isn't worth it, so most people won't attempt it. rich youtubers however will get 6 switch 2s and try hard to make it work. that's the only reason i buy consoles at launch, the vulnerabilities are always in the release version
The difference being that 360 games had the updated firmware on the disc.
