I was doubtful of this before any actual videos came out, but now I’m impressed by how they got past the cartridge protection system.
As for the reinsertion of the cartridge, as others have said, just don’t put 20 games on there and you’re fine.
I never understood people that liked having that many games at once… You definitely aren’t playing all of those.
I find the dumper is a weird accessory, as all it takes is one person with cfw and the nx tool to upload all the id’s and everyone else can use it. (of course, not for online, but if you don’t care about online, then it’s great)
Popping it in and out to get all the games loaded in sounds not great at all to me. I heard previously that it was necessary to get around some protection system, but surely there could have been a button we could press to short something and make the console think the cart was unplugged without physically unplugging it?
I’m gonna wait to see if there’s a v2 eventually. Or competitor products. Or in two week I’ll get tired of waiting and just buy it. I won’t know until it happened.
Still gonna wait for the official release instead of pre ordering. That and might be good to wait and see what Nintendo might do.
Given they can’t seem to have a loader, I know they have to somehow trigger the Switch to know there’s another game - but can you imagine having to do that several times to cycle to the game you want? The cost needed to repair the cartridge slot after too many pushes is definitely going to outweigh having just bought a Steam Deck and emulated the Switch instead.
If I were to get my hands on one of these, I probably wouldn’t put too many games on there, maybe just one or two that I’m adamant on playing at the time.
I do have some low capacity micro SDs scattered at home as well that should barely be large enough to house a single switch game. So worst case scenario, I could also just pop the cart out, swap the micro SD, and plug it back in to only require a single insertion.
Granted, this might not be feasible for people who just want to use the migswitch as a backup tool to put all their legal games on one cart, but for pirates like myself I’d consider it only a minor setback.
Not to mention the cartridge slot probably being designed to last a lot of insertions before failing
In the video, the solution looked to be a wireless remote that cycled the MIG cart to the next game, quite cumbersome IMO
Ugh… yeah… guess it’s cheaper than chipping it. I do wonder how quickly the big N will ban people all using the same game ID.
Copyright Mig-Switch 2024 - A product of Mig Switch, developed and produced in the Russian Federation
You’ll understand if I don’t contribute to their tax base for now.
I have the feeling it’s just a “cover my ass” situation, in this way when they receive legal requests they can redirect them to the trash can
While it’s possible that it’s developed in Russia because there are so many smart devs and engineers, it would be stupid to actually make the product in a country without the supply chain and they would need to smuggle everything from abroad and back for shipping to the rest of the world. And getting payments from the distributors
IMHO it’s actually made in an unnamed Chinese factory and in Russia there’s just a shell company (if at all)
This is just a theory/rumor (and partially a cope) but some people have floated the idea that this might not even be produced in Russia, and the overbearing Russian/Soviet symbolism is to throw off Nintendo and hide where it’s really being produced.
Afaik there’s no evidence to substantiate this, but if it were to be true, that would be hilarious.
Dude wtf. Russians citizen are not equal to Russian government. They are just people.

I know. I love Russians. I wish Oleg Strizhenov, Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn, Anna Melikian, and the gals from Pussy Riot all the best. May their government cease being made up of Mafiya members The West recognized in the early 90s as soon as possible.
I objected to the device being produced in (and hence paying taxes to) The Russian Federation, not being made by Russians.
I love Russians.
You sure don’t support them enough for how much you speak of how you love them.
Or maybe you mean you love , like love, them?
I don’t know, I’m American, I can’t really eat if I don’t indirectly pay money to the largest neo-imperialist empire in the world (who is currently funding a genocide btw).
There is no ethical consumption. You either consume unethically or you die.
Every government is partially founded by taxes, are you suggesting we should avoid economical transactions with every citizen of a state you disapprove? Or is it just a Russian thing?
