Further information about the upcoming Nintendo Switch "Mig Switch" flashcart has been revealed

MountainMan23 · Apr 6, 2024

For the people who ordered from Modded hardware, we will be lucky if we get it in a month or two. Worse case scenario is that they will be like Limited Run Games and we would have to wait a full year. Or even worse, they will rip us off.

So after almost a month nobody took a shot at cracking this thing?

Rumor has it a new cart called "unlock switch" is in the works that appears to be a flat clone of the mig. Could just be a resale scam with new stickers on the carts for all we know now though.

Like open source projects., they reverse engineer (forked) it and added their own modifications.

but still no software ejection implemented:

The Pin 1 an 2 are shorted on hardware so no way you can make a software ejection.

There's already a game switcher with dock included. There's also another one just as an attachment to the original Switch dock.
They work with the Mig Switch. You just have to add one game card to switch the games.

Yesp, that has been analyzed at start of the thread.

This is what worries me about modded hardware. On the description under the mig switch is still says,
"This is a Pre-Order For the Mig Switch Flash Cart For the Nintendo Switch Limited quantities are available and order placed now should arrive in Late February."

Then at the bottom of the description it says,
"Est shipping is start of April if ordered today"

The pure incompetency of the description and that they're still taking orders and not stopping orders as sold out for now to keep up with the demand is what really gets me.

All of the distributors are like that it’s terrible it’s one of the reasons I’m trying to become one. It’s not that hard to
Communicate and run an e commerce

That being said don’t order from modded hardware afaik they havnt shipped out ANY of their orders

While .store shipped out a bunch already

I think they did overestimation of the demand and supply chain. If you look at the R4 card or Flash2advance back in the GBA days there were multiple webshops that sold it in my country. Now there is not one. Maybe because they are afraid of big N but who knows.
If you are taking orders but not delivering your business will soon be over. For now we only can wait to see if the UnlockSwitch is indeed a rebrand of the original, or if it is a new product.

I think most of us vastly overestimated the hype and after all these months under 1000 units are shipped while the bill of material is fully known and not rocket science. So either MIG Switch is a one or two man show or there is something going on.

I think it’s mostly down to rich kids with too much money thinking it would be easy to run a business

I feel like there’s enough different photos of sellers receiving stock on Reddit to show there’s product moving

But damn near every one of the sellers had some sort of drama or just can’t handle basic communication like updating their Shopify order status’ so there’s some basic order tracking

There’s people only knowing it’s been shipped because of USPS notifications

just make a cart to enable homebrew.... (if only it were that simple)

I believe order delivery has slowed down. I mean it's not a space shuttle, just a pcb with 2 chips and some capacitors on it.
Shipping a Stanley cup is more difficult as it has to be water tight, safe to use and obey all kinds of regulatory approvals.
Even the Unlock Switch is a piece of mystery in itself. Asking questions on the whereabouts of it are neglected.

the magic is not on the hardware is on the «software» (but on the FPGAs the hardware and software are grey areas.)

Which clone? There are 2 of them I've seen now, MigDIY, and UnlockSwitch. But yea they're be smart to add the touch switch to all them.

What makes MIGDIY better than the other two, MIG Switch and UnlockSwitch? First time seeing this one and I've only seen a version with the button. Is that the only other feature it has or am I missing something?
