Flashcarts for the nintendo switch are finally here, and I got my hands on one of the first ones. Best part is, they work on ALL switches! I’m going to show you the process of setting up the mig switch, how the mig switch works, and whether or not you’ll get banned by using flashcards on your stock switch.

Well the switch is at the end of it’s life. I hope you don’t get attacked by the Nintendo Ninjas Jeff.
@@UltraGamerAustin
LOL! Sure it is. I mean they won't release a successor this year and dozens of A+ titles are on the horizon, but it's at "end of life." 🤣🤣
Where can i get one

Even though you own the physical media, those cartridges have a lifespan. Either through physical use or their internal memory degrading. Being able to back this stuff up should be a consumer right and I'm glad more tools are being made to accommodate that. I agree that it's very expensive right now, but this is just the start of it. Here's hoping that this kind of preservation continues to be more accessible in the future.
Hopefully Nintendo doesn't crack down on this
@@grapehub1649 I mean, they likely will try. Capitalism's gotta capitalize. However I can't imagine the modding/preservation community is going to stop because of it
Nintendo needs to start doing more discounts and deals.
@@OkennoIf Nintendo was this consumer-ffriendly, piracy wouldn't even be an issue for them. Hell, even so much as an officially licensed multi-purpose emulator with games to buy and netplay with dedicated server tools to use would mitigate a lot of issues but Nintendo's never gonna stop being greedy
And typical Nintendo, just sued Yuzu
great video editing and elaboration. you do good my friend keep thriving in this community of yours :)
I think my biggest reason for buying it was to have my all physical collection essentially digitally on my switch lite I use for travel, or the big reason is using the dumper to legally acquire roms without needing mods for use with yuzu on the steam deck
Yeah sure 😂
@@Rohgamujust cause you're a bad person doesn't mean everyone is.
Bye bye Yuzu
@@personman5156 call someone a bad person for pirating nintendo products are next level cringe
@@personman5156 its morally right to pirate nintendo stuff
I like buying used copies of switch games and the example you provided us scared the daylights outta me, I don’t know if I’ll be able to buy used copies from now thinking that someone already ripped it and it’ll get me banned.
Most people are not dumping own games
I mean realistically it's pretty unlikely anything would happen to you, but if you're really that paranoid, you could just permanently play in airplane mode and never get detected
Chill, just play in airplane mode and you won't get banned
That's the chance you got to take. Do you want to save $10 or not?
@@Ridku13 nope nintendo saves telemetry data on the switch even when offline
I still plan on purchasing one. My kiddo could use the help simplifying the amount of cartridges he is constantly playing. I appreciate you taking the time to go over this product!!!
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
I live in a country where a full modchip service for any model of NX would cost $25 or below excluding the SD card, whilst the MIG costs almost triple that amount and does practically nothing more than having all your games in a small cartridge instead of being in the same carrying case that we already have. Not to mention the amount of effort it would take to cycle through games, and the risks of having your NX banned
Absolutely love your videos and i'm happy I came across your channel.
Great video. I have no problem pirating older games on older hardware but the backups are what sold me. The ability to legally rip games and possibly emulate them on PC is fascinating.
man i love your vids, keep it up
Not saying piracy is legal at all, but it is moral.
explain
Everything can be handled at low levels....when piracy gets too high, it degrades the platform. I have over $500 worth of digital eshop games, and even more physical games.......but I also have a modded OLED.....Nintendo doesn't have eshop refunds and you cant consume any other multimedia on it..........I use my modded oled to test games before I buy, gyro support or not, do i like the game, overclocking, display color tweaks for better outdoor viewing, higher framerates, android web browsing and multimedia (videos, youtube etc) support.......I buy games that I like that I've already tried out.....the problem is that most people will just use this freedom for free games.......if that gets out of control, the platform dies.
they don't care about people, stop caring about them.
One day pc will be the only platform because of there garbage. @@kninezbanks
@@kninezbanksehhh piracy has always been a thing
@@kninezbanks Not seeing the moral argument here. Are you saying that because Nintendo has a policy you don't agree with and find annoying, that makes it moral to pirate games?
Great video! Thank you for the information. I was so confused about it now I know better.
Very informative, you have laid out the answers to all the questions I had for this flash cartridge. Thank you.
I will probably stay on the fence on this thing for now, I will wait a while for improvements. I also didn't like that push the cart back and forth to switch the game.
This is actually a fantastic video. Thank you
I'm a new viewer, and so far, i like what you have on your channel.
Great video, Jeff. I like that you considered the ethical implications.
Great video thanks for the info
Great job on the video Jeff. U nailed it with pretty much everything. One thing I will note is that the migswitch does not run at the same speed as the original game cart. This was done in my video and compared across multiple Nintendo Switch consoles. The migswitch always performed slower. This could be used by Nintendo as a detection method. Just my two cents tho. Would love to have you on my podcast to discuss the migswitch!!
Voice is professional 👌 Thats really cool i like your content
From a preservation perspective i think the dumper isnt that bad of an idea. I mean we will never know how long those switch cartridges will still work. Awesome video as always jeff
Nintendo is probably working on a firmware that detects Mig switch and/or changing how cartridges are encrypted/fabricated. So right know it can work with any game released on firmware 17 and down, but there's no guarantee it'll work with 18 and up. And they can force all devs to use new firmware for new games and updates. So this will be really interesting after some cat and mouse has been played by Nintendo and Mig Switch. Adding updates, DLCs and maybe mods to XCI is the number one feature I'd like to see coming, so if they ban the console, everything would still work offline.
This isn't just true, Nintendo already has secondary encryption systems. Presumably they'll roll out support and change how Game Cards are read in the coming months.
Loving your videos man. Great coverage. 😊 Off topic: Is that 14 Pro or 15 Pro?
NEW DAMNIT JEFF.. WE WILL BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT
Hey great video! I'm new here so you got yourself a sub good sir.
Keep up the great work.
Brilliant video mate 👏
Interesting discussion 🤔
subbed 👋
thank you jeff for doing what most dont!!
This is great information thank you very much
informative and interesting video, thanks for sharing what u know with us!
Silly question please, can i play with it switch games downloaded from the internet?
The Unitek Dock station is perfect for Mig Switch. No need to constantly run down your card slot.
this has been a very awesome and informative video and I’m definitely gonna be buying one of these and taking a look but yeah for anybody who doesn’t care about playing online you can actually just disconnect the antenna instead of airplane mode
nice content both the video and sponsor
I have one of those plastic little book things filled with Switch cartridges that I haven't even played just because I'm too lazy to dig it out and swap carts to play games. Much easier to just fire up a digital game. This is the main reason I've been far more into retro handheld emulators than any of my actual consoles lately. Part of me wishes they'd implement a ripping process to move games from the cart to the Switch itself similar to installing PC games back in the day where you'd need some sort of unique activation key or something.
I have a feeling that this is just a beginning.
Holy the cost saving implications as a single father with two little gamers. I can now just buy one physical copy and just put my kids devices into airplane mode.
"I can't really explain it because I already forgot"
Same bro
Great video! Although I'm genuinely curious as to how and why you got four copies of AC 😂
4:51 the reason why the MIG Switch is like this is because that idea simply won't work anymore due to code signing. While I'm not that knowledgeable on Switch specific security, assuming Nintendo is at least up to the bare minimum, they're likely signing all games with a private key, which the public doesn't have. Hence why you also can't boot homebrew applications, even ones that would run fine at user level as it isn't code signed. My best guess as to why that worked on the DS is the DS either didn't have code signing or it was weak and easily bypassed.
I should note that if the MIG Switch was targeting homebrew Switches specifically, then I believe this would work since the code signing enforcement would be disabled, but they want this to work on stock switches as well since the vast majority of normal users don't mod their switch as disappointing as it may be.
Good video tho, really just commented to tell ya why lol
Yeah but it'd only work if you patched your switch with kip/sig patches (I think it's called that), so you'd be enabling pirate mode in order to play backups/homebrew, but with said patches you could just install them and be at the same risk of ban.
Over all what they decided on is the only thing that makes sense, I think if the card had like a capacitive button on it that'd make it far more useful, as it is switching games like this is just bad IMO.
Oh shit nice ive been meaning to learn about this flash cart after hearing about it
If it weren't for the inconvenience of switching games, this would be a great solution for modded Switch consoles to have extra space. Having a 1TB or 1.5TB SD card, plus a 1TB MIG Switch, sounds sweet.
I did buy one along with the dumper. Mainly for 2 reasons.
1. Dumping my roms so I can play on other devices or play mods (CURRENTLY KAPUT)
2. Potentially playing my Switch library on the future Switch 2 without wasting the cartridge slot or storage space.
First one is obviously defunct but the second I hope will prove useful. For mods I plan on sending in my switch and backing up my digital copies of games because yes I have bought some of my switch games twice (Mostly 1st party) and plan on bolstering my physical versions overtime as prices go down.
What ever happen to other channel covering the mig switch? Haven't had any update on their channel lately. Did Nintendo bought them out?
Great video.
wake up, dammit jeff just uploaded a new video
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game Complete edition is so good, i recently got it on steam for about 5$ CAD. I loved it, and it is very truthful to the original comic, albeit having no dialogue or quite good cutscenes, the gameplay is good
I see the benefits to having this. I have a somewhat substantial collection of hard copy games. I also have tons of digital purchases as well.
With the implied cart capacities limitations of the factory game cards and the expense of replacement.... it makes sense for someone like me that travels extensively for work to buy one of these so I don't have to risk my collection. If it gets stolen I loose 2 microSDs, a switch and the MIG card..... VS a factory game, and probably the case and who knows how many games in there too (up to 8 game cards +1 in system).
You can already see the advantages here.
For a modder tho.... once this card get hacked by the community there won't be the need to 'hot swap' the card to change games. Also, if this sidesteps server authorizations for your owned games.... thats of benefit as well. Because what sense is having a portable system and having to check and recheck authentication to play a game you legitimately own.
Thats gonna make all the world of difference!!!
I might've missed this, so I wanted to bring it up in the comments. You mentioned earlier on in the video that the dumper they were selling was not a good one to use, or something along those lines. Could you elaborate more on what you meant by that? My original intention for buying the combo was to be able to dump my physical game files to run on Yuzu or another Switch Emulator without having to go through the process of modding my switch. Being able to run the games all on one cart was just a bonus to me. Although now I'm concerned that this won't work like I had thought.
Subscribed, ty for the vid. My library consists of over 200 carts and I organize them in logical clumps inside a book that keeps them all together, this book is so valuable I don't let my kids look at it. I'm like a damn librarian tryin to keep track of my precious. My plan is to buy 10-15 micro sd cards (16-32gb) and consolidate those "clumps" into backup cards. The kids games go all on one sd, and I feel ok letting their asses go wild on their own systems. I ordered the combo on the first of the year from moddedhardware, hopefully my time is near.
I aspire to be able to get on camera and speak so fluent as you do.
I'm getting it for a bit of both.
- backup current library then buy/backup multiplayer games
- "obtain" and play single player games while in airplane mode.
I use my lite since my V1 is hacked and OLED is the Zelda variant so having the MIG means less carts to bring and less chance of losing one if not multiple games.
I'd rather repay $60 for another MIG over losing multiple carts of games that may or may not be of the same value causing me to pay hella more.
loved your vid,I already paid for the mig and the dumper,I want to leave my games at home SAFE,LOL
bro how you get ya discord to look like that? that's clean af
I'm waiting to see what else comes out and if Nintendo starts banning. Super excited to get one.
I genuinely hope that they start marketing this better as a legal backup of legally bought physical cartridges. I think it would be much easier for them to find places to distribute, and there are absolutely no vendors here that sell them, along with it also having less repercussions. I just want to be able to get a digital copy of the games I ALREADY OWN, without having to worry about cartridge wear & tear. Also, as you mentioned, I would love to be able to bring my entire library with me when I head somewhere, there's multiple games I play through at the same time, and worrying about have I lost my entire library that costs hundreds of dollars and with no backup is just more reason to not play my switch. If I had the peace of mind that I can play MY OWN games without fear of losing all of them just because I'm forced to carry it around, I would be much more likely to use my switch. On-top of that, I would be much more likely to root for Nintendo as they're giving me good value, but also respecting that my games are my own to do with, as long as it's nothing that causes them problems.
Ill definitely get one for my oled once the new nintendo console is out
The fact that theres a chance to get banned just for buying an used game is truly scary.
Edit: Dang i didnt think this was gonna get that much likes xD
Nintendo’s fault honestly.
I will forever use this against anyone who claims you own physical games
Nintendo has proven otherwise
Most people are not dumping their games
@@justdavidegs_how????
@@Playerz714yeah its like 1:20 and also most ppl who dumped theyr games dont play online with it.
I think about a few things and recourse. If someone dumps a game and sells it on the used market, what happens to the person who buys the game?
1) I think Nintendo has a threshold for banning that includes X instances of a duplicate title key. So two might not meet that threshold. Lightning may need to strike twice just to be online with the person at the same time, on the same server? I just don't know what tech Nintendo uses to really ban*
2) If Nintendo WERE to band your console along with the other party (2 instances of the same game), just take them to small claims court and bring your copy of all your games and ask for damages and loss of use.
3) If your copy was RAMPENTLY pirated and sold to you, then the same action (#2) would apply and I suspect Nintendo would buy you a new copy directly or through settlement, payment, and/or expectation that retail original copy is destroyed to prevent continued bans and continued litigation with you.
4) If you don't have access to small claims in your state, then you would have to hire an attorney :( OR AG would get involved.
*I suspect at some point an Attorney will get involved and a class action would start. Through discovery, Nintendo would need to publicly disclose HOW they ban consoles and detect duplicate copies. At some point if this banning became widespread for the used market, Nintendo might be forced to disable banning based on duplicate title keys since they would have no reliable way to ban without effecting legitimate consumers.
Sidenote: My worry is really about the Switch 2 and if my old games will work on the Switch 2 and if this new backup will effect the backwards compatibility and if this banning will extend to the Switch 2. WORSE case is Nintendo drops all physical media from the Switch 2. Gosh I hope not. I like to own all my games so I can sell/buy/trade. One you go digital your rights evaporate on some levels.
The fact that only UA-camrs are getting there order is crazy
Draw back for this is for when people would sell their original copy and forget they have it on the flashcart only to then end up getting their Switch banned because the both the original and backup would be played at the same time.
13:25 I think this point is the main selling point, for me at least. Since I had so many physical games, I would be devastated if I lose just one of those cartridges, but sadly I live in 3rd world country that Mig Switch didn't cover on their shipping address list so yeah, probably had to wait a year or two for these bad boys to arrive in my country.
What kind of laptop do you have?
Many complaints on the web site that they aren't getting their orders. I preordered mine which was supposed to ship last month and I've heard nothing.
this cart may have inadvertently helped Nintendo sell brand new games. If people start getting banned for playing pre owned games, then the only way they'll be able to buy games will be either through Nintendo digitally or by buying a brand new copy that Nintendo get paid for. Nintendo (and all devs) don't like the pre owned market as they get no money for re-sold games, so this could end up damaging that market
Is there a way to add the rest of the data for cartridges that don't have all of the game on them?
Im SEVERLY worried about the used game market, now i have to adk the seller if they use a mig switch or even know what it is. Hopefully i dont need to and this thing doesnt go to main stream. I really rather buy used games, cuz im broke, but now this makes me fear alot. Like said earlier, hope this doesnt go to mainstream
Most people are not dumping their own games so why are you worried
@Playerz714 if the mig switch goes mainstream into the public, that's when I'll be worried because if it does people will think, "oh I can dump my own game and then I can sell my main one" which is why I'd ask the seller if they use the mig switch or not. Tho if it doesn't go big, I'll be fine
Again most people are not going to be dumping their games lol you think people are not just going to go online and download switch roms? It doesnt help you have to pay aan extra $60 for unreleased dumper yet@@Pac-man_talking_a_shit
*Dumps game
Buyer: "Did you dump this game?"
Seller: "no."
@@iconsumeworlds the strategy is to know what the seller looks like, if it's a 40 year old mom, is good. If it's a 20 year old dude, it's ggs
Some people may not know this but inserting and ejecting a microSD many times can cause it to go corrupt. There is a reason why most retro handhelds have a shutdown menu option.
ooh, looks like gary bowser is at it again lmao
Can you play a game together with 2 moded switches? And where can I find them for $150 brand new?
I think I'll wait for version 2 or a ripoff that doesnt require me to eject and reinsert everytime I wanna change games.
Probably a very smart idea.
Only use i would have for something like this would be to play skylanders imaginators on the switch because at the moment, a physical copy of it is so god dam expensive
If I get a mig switch. I would use it to play my own dumped games. I just want the backups of my own games because I don’t know how long the physical games will survive
Thanks for the info I always enjoy seeing new things. I personally don’t see the point in any usefulness to me because if I have the game already I’m basically buying memory cards so that I don’t have to manually switch the game😅
When's the release date? It's still pre-order on the site.
I think sometime at the end of feb to early march which is about here! I believe! I’m excited to get the game dumper. Also this is weird timing with the (current) Nintendo vs yuzu situation. Hopefully this case gets dismissed…
I have about 80 physical switch games almost exclusively bought off sites like Vinted, Ebay and Amazon. Some are special editions, limited run, import, indie and in some cases quite rare. The Dumper is what interests me. I’m a 40yo gamer who has witnessed several online game stores close down over the years, so I always feel slightly nervous buying digital (unless it’s just silly cheap and I’m unsure of a game). The dumper is a good little tool as it gives me the security and benefits and protection of digital media without the worry of having to rely on a service (online) to acquire my game should I ever run into a situation where the original cart becomes lost, damaged or stolen.
The piracy problem isn’t a problem for now as the carts are too expensive to but. It’s almost as much as a new triple A titles, so seems redundant to counterfeit a game at the risk of getting your own switch banned.
Switch 2 if it’s capable of backward compatibility and the mig carts become cheaper due to other companies selling similar product then it might become an issue.
Just discovered your channel. Liked. Takes a lot of time editing videos and cutting out all the weird incoherent bollocks, so kudos to you ❤
Hi Dammit Jeff im 13 and have a switch oled, im wondering could you make a youtube short or something of reasons why to hard mod your switch
Given the fact that this essentially has created used game "mine bombs" uh I hate this thing.
They were so focused on whether or not they could.
They didnt stop to think if they should.
And ontop of all this nintendo probably sees this as an absolute win. Now a good portion of folks are probably paranoid and now that garuntees more folks will be buying new games instead of used. Nintendo already doesn't loke the used game market so this only helps them out.
i feel like these are gonna get really popular once the switch online services shut down! then noone needs to worry about getting banned cause internet connectivity wont be a think anymore anyway
might buy me a switch again just for this
The usb cart reader is of interest to me. If it could be used with emulators.
Taking the cartridge in and out to cycle through games is exactly 1:1 with reality if you aren't boosting the games lol.
have any plans for the switch 2?
I like your vibe, dude.
The only thing stopping me from getting one of these is the sketchy way of having to insert and remove until the correct game you want to play is selected. I have a modded switch that gets no use other than to dump games onto my PC so this would be great to have all my games in one package to take around with my switch OLED.
Unrelated but funnily enough the only reason I modded my switch was to play SMT V and Fire Emblem at 4k60 on my laptop. The performance on switch was abysmal. But this turned into me just dumling all my games anyways 😅.
This thing probably needs custom firmware to choose games easier
certainly a cool way to play switch games, tho if the device eventually breaks its best to probably emulate it instead.
Man that sponser for type ai is pretty scary
idk if nintendo could but if switch 1 and switch 2 is detected to be playing the same cartridge, they could just ban switch 1 based on play history to avoid a used game buyer from getting banned too?
Player 1 buys ToTK and plays it
Player 2 buys ToTK and dumps it, doesn't play it
Player 3 buys ToTK from player 2, plays it
Player 2 starts playing his dumped copy and one day they play at the same time
Nintendo bans player 3 because he was the last person to play the game before it started showing up on player 2's switch.
@@iconsumeworlds Ooh now that's something I didn't consider. If Mig Switch and potential clones go mainstream, Nintendo might have to surrender to it and not ban anyone if they don't want any drama from innocent people being banned.
where do you buy them from ? None of the websites I've watched work.
This would be great for travelling. Not gonna take 25 SWITCH games with me but I can take 1 MIG Cart.
Because 25 switch games will take up so much room 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️.
Must be a real NERD if you go on a travel and sit there playing NINTENDO games while everyone else is partying and embracing the scenery. Why TF would I waste my time playing that many video games? Just go live in cave and be a hermit with your precious games.
@@OkiDingoPlus how many games can you realistically beat while traveling? I usually just bring one RPG and a random action game in case I get bored of the RPG temporarily.
@@Kiefy6886 exactly!
Are you travelling or playing game outside?
Does it matter if you have a pal or ntsc, moving to Europe . So want to get one of these. Video rocks !
In the event that modified game files become functional, it's possible that an exploit could arise.
Genuine question, i have all these carts i want to have on one cart, if i can rip carts i legitimately purchased with the cert file can i use the mig switch without being offline?
Scary that knowing the you might be bying already ripped games and there's a chance you can get banned or Bricked.
It would be nice not having to change out cartridges to play a different game especially with my switch in the dock. Also not having to carry all the cartridges everywhere I go. I dont trrust digital games because you do not own the key but rather are dependent on your account with Nintendo not getting hacked and your primary switch not breaking. It those two things happen your digital games are gone and you can only play your cartridge games. The cartridge has the key but with digital Nintendo has the key. If I buy a new car I want the key and dont want to have to call the car company to get it to start.
I lost my switch plus 3 Pokemon games, NS Sports, and Odyssey on a train so that probably could’ve helped me get my games back 😢
3:45 🤣🤣
This cartridge is like those 2fa apps that support Steam - yes, you can clone your Steam Authenticator, but you need to root your Android phone or sift through an iTunes backup file system or jailbreak your iPhone.
This reminds me of the old ds days 😮😢
how did you get your hud like that in the first few seconds?
Are people receiving their orders now? I'm wondering because idk if this is a rip off yet.
