Did you dump the firmware? Was that your X (twitter) video of the dump?
how do you want i dump the firmware (of migswitch) .??

The dump, is with nxdumptool, on the same switch, but launch with Atmosphére.
I dump my own cart of Mario rabbid kingdom battle.

Oh hey there, just saw your Twitter post. Really cool stuff.

Those scratched off chips look like RP2040...
I don't think they look to be that. The chip's markings are usually at the bottom of the chip, and not the middle.

They would be making bank if that was the case. If they were RP2040, that would probably be a $10 flash cart. Though if we ignore the missing silkscreen, the number of pins lines up, the crystal oscilator there is probably 12MHZ, question is though, which mostly disproves this theory, is where is the flash? They would need flash to run a program (the only other alternative is running it from RAM, requiring a re-program on each boot).

The RP2040 has its flash integrated like every modern microcontroller?

That's all I care about, the scene needs an entrypoint
Even if it would allow simple homebrew, it would get you no centimeter nearer to CFW.

it also works with the switch cart switcher, it seems there is queue to go the last game.

Hmm so maybe don’t waste my time no more designing something like action replay ds but just to add a single button

I doubt anyone else would probably want that if they can just get that 4 cart switcher

Yea and to mention while it's docked and you're sitting on couch, you can switch games without getting up, using that remote.

It's weird that this thing not only needs external power to work instead of getting it from the cart slot directly, but also that only the top 4 slots do the switching, and the bottom 4 slots are just "storage", I stead of being able to switch all 8 slots. Seems wasteful and semi-deceptive at first glance.

This thing with 8 mig switches all loaded with 1TB SD cards each.

It would take approximately 4 hours to load the game you want 😭😭😭

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
