The Mig Switch flashcart, which allows users to play legally owned Nintendo Switch games across any model of the console, has been sent to reviewers for testing. However, concerns have been raised about potential bans for online play and the sharing of game certificates. Reviews from emulation-focused YouTubers are available, and users are discussing the implications and risks of using the Mig Switch.
Reviewers have confirmed that the MIG Switch flashcart for Nintendo Switch works as expected, allowing the running of Switch game "backups" on any model, but concerns about the risk of bans from Nintendo remain. The device's primary purpose is seen as Switch game piracy, and questions persist about how Nintendo checks for abusive use of game certificates. Additionally, there is interest in reverse engineering the MIG Switch, although its limited usefulness may impact the extent of cloning efforts.
Gary Bowser, a hacker previously sentenced for distributing piracy-enabling devices for Nintendo consoles, has denied involvement in a new flash cart project for the Nintendo Switch called MIG-Switch. Despite accusations stemming from his website's DNS records being linked to the project's promotional site, Bowser claims he was the victim of a DNS poisoning attack and has no connection to the current project. He has also faced threats and extortion attempts since his release from prison.
