God damnit, Nintendo. I wasn’t even gonna do piracy with the MIG Switch in the first place. I just wanted to back up my Switch titles for emulation without having to hardmod my Switch Lite.
If anything, it's rather pointless in trying to use the flashcart for piracy. You would have an easier time with a modded switch if you're really wanting to sail the seven seas. Though, I've been using my mig switch cartridge only with my own backups nearly exclusively for 4 months now, and haven't been banned yet.
The number one rule is to only jailbreak a console or handheld when it stops being supported like the PS vta. I still haven't jailbroken my PS3 yet til Sony stops supporting it.
@@-Vob- I think I might buy another PS3 to jail break because I was on eBay just now to buy wolverine and they want 70 to 100 dollars 😱 I tried to find it on ps store and they took it off.
Dumping your own games is perfectly legal. People are getting banned because they are pirating widely accessible roms instead of using their own copies. This product does not exist just for piracy, but to make legally backing up your games more accessible. it is not illegal to mod your switch or dump your games that way. Also, they are getting lawsuits for spreading pirated games and spreading hardware for use of pirating. Also also, Nintendo said that pirated games only thrive because of selling the premodded hardware but I think that is absolutely incorrect. Plenty of people mod their switch themselves and then pirate games. Yes, being able to buy premodded stuff helps but I feel like that's not the main source of piracy.
Do you think corporations care what the laws says? They'll go after you anyway. More often than not a judge will just say "the law is wrong" & side with the rich people.
When Nintendo get a lawsuit on a person, it’s game over for that person. It’s very rare for Nintendo to lose a lawsuit. Backing up your own games is up to each individual’s decision.
@@YinYangTK nintendo aint even fun, its just another budget looking unoptimized piece of hardware which has over priced games which aint even 100% fun to play due to the weird controls and other stuff. What nintendo could do instead of suing people is ban them from Online use in the nintendo firmware. Which id rather not use there firmware anyway id rather use linux or android on it lol for the emulation
i feel like nintendo is suing people cause they wanna be a rich as psn an xbox, cause suing people would get them instant high amount of money, they find literally ANYTHING to sue someone over, nintendo needs to be black listed from suing
I’ve modded my PS3, PS Vita, and 3DS XL. There’s a reason I do not mod anything that is considered relevant in the market right now. PlayStation can tell if I’m using modded hardware, but doesn’t really care about it. Nintendo is a different story and I will likely never mod my Switch at any capacity
So the best way to handle getting banned for piracy on a modded switch is get a 2nd modded switch and don't pirate with that. Now you can use a save dumper like jksv to backup all your save data and restore it on the new unbanned modded switch. Basic stuff like modding games, using cheat codes or save data backup is perfect safe on a modded switch. So continue as normal from there As for the banned switch. Don't throw it in the trash. It's actually perfect for more piracy. Format it to remove all account infomation. Add offline accounts and continue pirating. What are nintendo gonna do about it? Ban you? Oh yeah they already did that so they can't any more. I have 2 switches and this is exactly how I have iv been running them like this for about 6 years
@@NotAdachiPeople Iv never modded smash so I can't say however I have modded, mario kart. Pokemon lets go eevee. Breathe of the wild & skyrim on my still unbanned modded switch. The switch was still connected to the internet too. Basically all my save files are modified. So this is probably untrue. For monster hunter rise. I actually have all the paid cosmetics without paying for them (I paided for the base game & the sunbreak dlc tho). I installed the latest update, the dlc and added all the cosmetics on my banned switch. Transfered my legit save file. And loaded it on the banned switch and that gave me all the paid cosmetics then I just save the game, backed up save and restored back on my unbanned switch and it worked.
Nah, we need more people reverse engineering Nintendo. Cost them as much as possible, let the PC Decks steal the handheld market, and Nintendo can go under as they should have years ago.
@@chrisman2100 Yea, Nintendo is doing fine without doing anything new or inventive in years. That's the problem. They literally have no competition so they can get away with 2 games a year based on Characters that are losing their nostalgia appeal. They couldn't hack it in the actual console market, and the switch with proprietary software is going to depend entirely on their game development.
Who cares about playing Nintendo online especially in the future when they take them down anyway, it's 100% worth it. Nintendo will steal from you, might as well get over on them

We all knew this was going to happen once the profits came rolling in. Of course it's legal to backup your own games for personal use, it's even beneficial if you want to play your Switch games with better performance on your PC but... Let's not kid ourselves. We all knew people were going to abuse this and dump roms online before it even launched. Personally, I think it's morally reprehensible to pirate roms for current gen games, especially while they're available for sale digitally.
If you say that is morally reprehensible how do you feel about Nintendo taking down a global website based on a few (really just the US) country's copyright laws?
@@SoapyTaco I feel they are entitled to protect their IP from thieves. So does the law. If you're here to defend thievery, you can pack it up and save your breath, lol. If the games are available to purchase from the company, pirating the software makes you a criminal. Doesn't matter where you're from, or what your country's laws are. A thief is a thief.
@@Lost_n_Found_1 what are they protecting? The website had no copyrighted material, they had no legal grounds. If you're going to say it's immoral to break the law by stealing copyrighted material then you should agree it's also immoral to take down legal, noncopyrighted material when there is no legal justification
@@SoapyTaco I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. You're lying. And if not, you're ignorant and I think you should educate yourself a bit more before speaking about this.
@@Lost_n_Found_1 how about you educate yourself. The mig website did not host any game roms, it didn't even sell the device, just had links to resellers. There were no grounds to take it down.

How about they spend that legal money maintaining the eshop servers for Wii and Wii U so the people who bought games from the eshop can still play them
this is what happens when people pirate stuff without doing research. this thing was never meant for piracy. Just because you see dumb ass people act like it is, like this guy, doesn't mean it is. look up how Nintendo's anti pirate measures work and you'll see what it takes to use this tool for piracy. it's not worth the effort when you can just buy a gaming laptop or a steam deck.

You should be able to make a backup of your games. People are getting banned because they're dumping roms and getting caught.
There should be a way to backup your games And should be widely accessible, it’s all about doing it safely in which it would harm the Nintendo switch
