    To be honest, seeing that the card uses an ESP32, they could probably very easily implement a small webserver to connect to using your phone and pick from that which game you want to play or in what order the games will appear.
    EDIT: The esp32 only needs a tiny antenna and some even tinnier passive parts(capacitors), the PCB looks like it has enough space to fit those. No you dont need an app to connect to it, just your browser on your phone. Also sending games with wifi is gonna take years cause the ESP32 is not fast enough for that.

      Because of this flash card we know each NSW game has a unique identifier. If Nintendo wanted to they could let you copy card games to your Switch without need of ever reinserting the cart because they would have the ID. If you sold the game (which is why console manufacturers don't want to do this lets be real) and somebody inserted it into their system it would ping the servers and lock you out of the copy.
      They could do this and it wouldn't be a security risk or lose them money. But they won't do it because it would have zero financial benefit for them.

    It looks like files are listed in the order that you copy them, sometimes due to this it ends being a mess if you copy multiple ones at the same time.

That on its own would be good enough for me.

    They're through-holes where the switch mounts. You could manage to DIY something more useful than this method for suresies. My main two first thoughts would be:
    Remove switch, solder on a ribbon cable of some nature (they're through holes so it won't be that hard) and let it lead to an external button on the console itself. Maybe run it through the backplate so it's hidden even, and then leave yourself enough slack to mount the button under the kickstand but still to remove the MIG and change cards. It'd make the MIG "permanent" but the SD card could still be changed.
    Alternatively, 3D print a MUCH taller button, nearly comically so, then remove a TINY square from the cartridge cover. Let the switch protrude through the cartridge cover on the console so it can be pressed both without ejecting or even opening the system.

    I wonder if a Tesla overlay home menu would be possible on a modded Switch to choose which game you want to load on the Mig Switch? It's not redundant if you have a modded switch because of having more memory. Now people can have almost 3tb of memory on their Switch with two 1.5tb micro sd cards. We might even have 2tb micro sd cards in the future.

    seems that tiny button can be a failure point and without being able to use the old method of popping it in and out once that button breaks the only option you have is to repair it. Using a multi port game switcher with remote was a great way to switch games on the V1 Migswitch but now thats not an option. Hopefully V3 will have a remote.

    20/06/2024: Clarification on button use on V2 card.
    With the feedback we received from the first Mig Card V2 users, we realize we had to clarify something about the game switching button.
    We use purposely a thin button because, as you can see in the video below, it is meant to also be used with the game card slot cover closed.
    We think it is more convenient and since you don't really need to open it once your games are on the Mig microSD, it is just cleaner and looks better.
    Of course, you can also use it with the game card slot cover opened.

      05/06/2024: Games sorting
      By default, games are sorted by the time they were copied to the microSD. This is because we believe most people want their favorite games showing first.
      But if you want to have the games sorted alphabetically, head to our Q&A section, we explain how.
      Also on V2, remember that a quick push takes you to the next game, and a long one to the previous game. For easy navigation.

  • @TriVoxel

    You could totally hard mod that little cartridge lid and add a little piece of plastic to let you press the button easily with the cover on. It might make it easy to accidentally bump but it would also make it easy to switch for those with many games.
    Maybe they can make a firmware update to always load in alphabetical order, or let the user define the order, and then let you press it a few times before it loads the ROM so you can kinda just remember your place and not have to wait a second every time you change game selection.
    IDK, design is getting better for sure. Whoever made this has a death wish!

    It does say on their website the order the games are is based on the order they were added to your SD card. If you want your games listed in alphabetical order, you have to add them as such, e.g. making sure games are being transferred one by one in the order you want, to your SD card.
