It is not possible, because nobody besides big N can add valid signatures to software, and MIG is a merely ORIGINAL cartdrige emulator.

if yours is V1 and banned you can upgrade any title using homebrew.

Wish that was true, but I guess mine is console ban cause no matter what I do I cannot update official way.
Maybe I'm phrasing it wrong but... what I'm trying to say is, I can play my official legitimate physical copy Mario Kart 8, but since it has many updates after release, I cannot officially update that game because of my console banned. Lucky for me it is a V1 switch so i can install and update anygame with any game installer like goldleaf. But technically if i wanted to use my "legitimate physical mario kart 8 cartrige", I can only play what originally came in the cart, no updates no DLC.
I guess what i'm trying to say is... using a migswitch and risking a console ban is not worth it for me. Unlike a V1 switch... once an unmodded switch gets banned, i won't be able to play any updates of games. Wether officially using legitimate physical cartriges or installed on migswitch. That unmodded banned switch, will only be able to play base games that came in the cartriges.

Using Homebrew you can:
- Dump your legal cartdriges and leave them installed on your SD Card.
- Update the installed games
- Install DLCs and other addons.
I updated my message too late but thats exactly what I do.

I wouldn't bet on it because they are literally (by their own words) just ripping MIG's firmware to use as their own. Their main goal is ostensibly to provide a "cheaper" version (through hardware variation of components) of it, not develop it. They might not even have the technical skills to do so either.
Another update from UnlockSwitch team (from Telegram):
Things are looking pretty good for their improved version, curious to see what really happens during their presentation.

"our solution comes with it's programmer on USB type C port at no additional charge"
what did they mean by this?
are they including a dumper for the $29.95 price
or do they just mean you gat a micro SD card reader
They likely mean that (as they said) there is no software/firmware on there and you have to program them yourself via PC. A few old DS flashcards did it this way. They came without software and would do nothing if you plug them into your DS. After programming they work as intended.
I don't know if this would make any difference in court. Nintendo would probably bring the argument that cloning the game card form factor alone is circumventing copy protection or patents. They did that before.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that's what they mean by the user has to flash the cart themselves. But I too am wondering what they mean by a "solution" being usb-c??
If Unlock Switch does end up being real, the button to change game without ejecting is worth waiting for and buy instead of migswitch.
Plus they keep hinting of other improvements, so hopefully its just not an exact copy.

Does this still require the user to pop it on and off for a game to show up? Not ideal as it can damage the Switch due to wear and tear.

In a way it's a good idea for legally archiving files, but users having to pop the cart on and off is just a terrible idea.how can you use it for piracy you need an original cart and have to rip it. can't believe people are even buying this useless device!
Officially, yes. Someone posted a video on YouTube with game switch button added. If you don't want to do that, you can probably use one of those Switch Game Card Readers to switch between MIG Switch in one slot and another card in another slot. Not ideal, but it should work, especially if you get a version with the remote.
Hopefully, in their next announcement maybe they'll say something about the possible version with the button? Fingers crossed.
Indeed. It can be used for piracy reasons as well, but it's not as simple as just copying the files over to the SD card on the MIG Switch. There are many hints throughout this thread on how to be as safe as possible. Sadly, I don't think that anyone knows yet how Nintendo will deal with these MIG Switch cards in the future, whether they'll be detectable and flag your Switch for banning in one of the future updates.
This is a silly complaint I’m sorry
These cartridge slots are so robust, unless you’re using a shit ton of force purposely your cart slot is going to be fine lol
Maybe you're right. If you take care of your console and properly insert/eject your carts, it should be fine. I'm more concerned about all those reports where people somehow managed to break their cart slots.
I havnt seen a single person report breaking their slots yet from this thing
People just like to worry and complain about nothing
It's the constant popping it on and off that could cause wear and tear. Perfectly valid concern.
Could cause wear and tear yes but if you’re living life by small ifs like this you won’t get anything done
Also tell me you’re not familiar with the cart slot without telling me you’re not familiar. Again that thing is robust and designed for this..so unless you’re popping it in and out with the force of a thousand suns or taking it in and out you’ll be fine
Remember anything more than two shakes and ur just playing with it at that point
