the scripts i posted are harmless, but they do not work unfortunately, i spent alot of time 3 to 4 days, and i had a helper from this thread who offered to test, and we could not get them to work it turns out the data you need to edit to allow the initial data bin file to work with the xci is signed with a RSA-2048 PKCS #1 signature over the header (data from 0x100 to 0x200 of the cardheader)
without the signing keys, the migswitch will not allow modded xci files. which is why only original nontrimmed dumps work

Potential clones coming already? I still don’t see a button tho :/

I don't understand the point of cloning something like this and not adding another method.
Especially if they are cloning, I'm sure someone can probably do something with a tiny esp32 and that .nindex file the cart uses. If a button is too hard the esp could easily display a list of games and change the currently selected/locked one by just reading that file
I totally agree!
A button that does it the dirty way with "resetting" it to make it very cheap. Or a proper button that tell the esp32 to "next" in the list.
the MIG team is sending out a test version of 0.0.2 of their MigDumpTool homebrew app.

It's good that they are on the way. Still, they really need to have a button. I wonder if Unlock Switch will be any cheaper... Thanks for the info!
So basically this thing is totally useless for piracy unless people start uploading their complete dumps to the internet?
Lol.
That’s been known since day 1…the official mig website even says that exact thing too
Online dumps would all need to be redone to match this format. I formed a group and we got like 50 games between us so far
It’s not that hard to find the files ha
Don't think it's worth being banned and all the restrictions that come with it. There's literally no way Nintendo are just going to sit back and let people go online, and download updates and DLC etc as normal with these things.
That’s why it’s a private group and no more than a few people will be using each cert
If there’s 50ish games all with unique files it’s easy enough to not double dip if you’re careful
Or even better use your own cheap $10 doner certs for each of the games and that won’t even be a concern at all.
Just cant cut corners. I ran my CFW switch online for over a year on SXOS and used the same dumped games as my retail system at the time and nothing ever happened to either system
I’ve noticed the only people saying this are the ones who want to be spoonfed and not try and source their own files
People got too spoiled with those tinfoil shops
I guess I just don’t understand that expectation. I feel like it’s been pretty clear since the initial announcement that this thing would require a tiny bit of work
For sure, but we can't expect people to read now can we? xD

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -
@

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
