- Happy New Year! I've been looking into the Nintendo Switch Flash Cart, known as the MiG Switch over the holiday break and wanted to learn more about it. It's in my opinion that this product may - allegedly - be the work of Team Xecuter as the community has uncovered compelling evidence to suggest a former member - allegedly - appears to have been hosting the website After Time X as a front to promote the product. In today's episode, we discuss the MiG Switch Flash Cart, how it works and why I believe TX may be involved.

#MIGSwitch #FlashCart - Hry
to be personally warned by MVG must be crazy
If anyone knows when mistakes were made, it's him.
as MVG said he technically didnt do anything illegal so far, and if you take a look on the website basically Mig Switch team is trying to stay in that thin line between of whats legal and what is not
"leaks for me not for thee" - Jason (schrier)
@@jomojuwhich I’m not sure why MVG sounds so mad at him about this? I thought he was down with flashcarts and mods?
@@otterdonnelly9959 i guess because GaryOPA said he wants to moved on and reform his life, but if he is involved in this project he became a liar which then MVG has the right to be mad about it
Nintendo has been on record saying that when you buy one of their games (physical or digital) that you are truly just buying 1 license to play the game and that they can take that license away from you at any time for any reason. This reminds me of a Louis Rossmann quote: "If paying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing."
That isn't something invented by Nintendo. Try reading the terms and conditions for software on something even as far back as the PS1
@@guyverjay1289 Damn, you know what? I have every PS1 game ever made, but I don't have any of the paperwork that came with any of the titles. Shame.
@@espressomatic - that because "paperwork" doesn't come with isos you get from the internet
I pirate MANY of the games I own. In fact, and this is funny to me, a good 10+ years back I backed an indie Dreamcast release and due to some behind the scenes reasons (it was not the deal beforehand) the developer's representative was talking about putting the backers in the manual. Told him plain and simple that people WOULD pirate the game so they should put us in the credits instead. The game has since been ported over and over and I pirated it myself for the PC the other day. 😛
Just own a Lite currently but I have proper PC screens. I'm not going to be forced to play shmups on the Lite when I can play them on PC in TATE; ESPECIALLY when I own the titles (sometimes for multiple systems like I do with Don- and Dodonpachi/DOJ/Mushihimesama etc). Forget that. I also pirate instead of playing demos (that I sometimes can't find). Not going to buy blindly. I did that as a child; that's how I ended up with The Crow for the Sega Saturn...
@@SicketMog i use to pirate but now i just do it for old games i cant buy anymore (gameboy/ds). now i just own games that i actually like or watch stuff before hand. still be good getting stuff for free
After Time = After Prison
X = Xecutor
I'm starting to think Gary Bowser wants to get caught.
Never thought about that, nice thinking
Or someone else made that name up to mislead people into thinking Bowser is behind it, not them...
@@LRM12o8Or Gary made up that name believing people would think it’s too obvious and can’t be him, so it must be someone else pretending to be Gary…
@@TwistedSoul2002Or someone else made that name up believing people would suspect that Gary made it to look too obvious to be him, so it would direct blame back to Gary...
As usual MVG explains it in detail. Some other videos are just garbage. I was reading the implementation of it from reddit threads and other youtubers justs go "brrr brrr new r4 for switch" without even mentioning the certificate checks.
Thanks MVG. Videos are always informative and easy to understand.
Agreed
🤡
Yeah, thanks for the breakdown. I've avoided watching anything about this flashcart until someone had hard info to mention. That old Bowser is at it again making trouble for Nintendo and the Mushroom Kingdom.
From what I understood, this product is being sold from Russia, where certain piracy laws were suspended due to sanctions imposed by other countries. Nintendo can't do anything about this being sold in Russia, but can go after any reseller outside of Russia.
Then chinese manufacturers will start producing it and sell it to any online store they can.
it’s a genius move by Gary, honestly
That explains its name
@@Kuroji07 I'll buy one if I can emulate older games or run Linux. The Switch is a great handheld platform.
In Mother Russia, piracy goes after Nintendo xD
Awesome. I was just thinking yesterday, "I wonder how long it will take before the Switch has a flash cart"
It's been all over the Internet for a few days now so maybe you saw or read something subconsciously
@@DrewKratzmost likely that
Well, I just got one for Christmas, so I was wondering too and it wasn't from subconsciously reading anything
Thats what i said when the 3ds dropped
Wasn't supposed to get one- the card slot has been protected from this kind of thing.
A firmware update will make it incompatible.
Has no one learned from the 3DS era? Gateway and sky3ds were awful. What we have now with mod chips is far better
The gamecard dumper interests me the most but not sure how useful it would be without being able to dump updates + DLC without use of CFW.
Updates maybe but not DLC
@@user-pm9nb4fg1d Right but they mean the dumper itself, it will be able to preserve the game cart only as it can't then backup the updates or DLC you own from your switch console, meaning that in terms of actual preservation this will only do part of the job
Game updates are never installed onto the game cartridge itself just the console, I can see the games pulling an update as a normal cartridge would and a user would just download their DLC from the eShop as one would normally do.
Dumping it yourself doesn't make it legal anyways. Just download them, my dude.
@@armyofninjas9055my understanding is making copies of game carts, dvds, cds etc is perfectly legal as long as it’s for personal use. Am I missing something?
I talk to Gary and Max often. Gary I doubt has anything to do with it but he is very close for comfort. Max moves by the beat of his own drum so I cant say for sure. Both of them have been cool with me and I talked about what we discussed on the show last night. Your video was well done and you know the scene better than me. im just not sure if it is a good thing or not that I am in the "In" crowd. lol
I doubt that Gary had anything to do with this. He was in prison when the "Mail Server" was first seen.
Take MVG's advice Gary.... Much love bro... TX can eat a bag of proverbial, if this involved them stealing someone else's idea/invention/IP then I could believe it....
@@mbcrump I believe the same
I imagine that this will create a serious headache for Nintendo if they were indeed planning on backwards compatibility and the same cartridge format for the switch 2.
Yes and no, its unlikely the carts will be identical, it will probably be the same thing as UHS micro SD cards do, they added an extra row of pins further up the card which is how it gets faster speeds in a compatible reader etc
That way the physical layout of the cart doesn't change enough for it to matter but it would mean the switch would be unable to load switch 2 carts but the switch 2 could do both
Lol thats not what he was implying, he was implying nintendo doesnt want new switch to be able to run backed up games @@shanematthews1985
@@ransamfastthey did something like that with Gb/gba/ Nintendo DS.
Due to different notches, it is not possible to put a GB cartridge in the GBA slot on the ds. The GBA takes both gba and gb carts.
@@janzibansi9218 This is not akin to that, this is about making a new cartridge similar to the previous device's cartridges that will only fit in the newgen device so that players can play both lastgen and newgen games on the newgen console
(The 3ds cartridge has a little extra piece on the side that makes it impossible to fit in the DS's slot, whereas DS cartridges fit easily in the 3ds.)
GB/GBC cartridges not fitting in the DS is the opposite situation, where by design Nintendo cut backwards compatibility with those two on the new console, only allowing GBA.
I was personally worried about that since Nintendo was quietly talking about not even having a cartridge slot in the Switch 2 and all future consoles. If the MIG team could've just waited for the Switch 2 to get released we would've been able to not only get the Switch 2 with the normal cartridge slot for backwards compatibility, but with the ability to use this cartridge slot hack on it. They just needed to be patient and we all could've benefited, but knowing Nintendo they’ll do everything in their power to put a stop to this by changing the Switch 2, even going as far as taking out the cartridge slot completely. They’re petty enough to do it, it's Nintendo we’re talking about after all.
I’m glad you continue to make content MVG. Always high quality and covering the facts in these cases! Happy New Year to you and your family 🎉
I want one and not for piracy. I buy physical games because, we all know why, to own them. But it would be nice to be able to switch to any game I own without swapping cards. My kids have already lost 2 of my games (they never lose their own games) and having them backed up and put away and stored would be great.
True, but 90% of people will use this for piracy...Nintendo would be stupid to not act and act quickly with vengeance!
@@DungarooTV nah, it wouldn't be stupid, it'd just be out of character for them. Piracy doesn't actually harm game studios usually, the people pirating the games wouldn't have bought the game originally most of the time
It would be nice to have an official cart that could handle this...
This will never officially happen because again, 90% if not more, of people will use it to pirate games - so from Nintendo's standpoint - you either buy their games or not - it's that simple unfortunately but I know what you're saying @@ruineka_one
This is looking at it from an emotional perspective - I agree with you, but to Nintendo it's black and white - you either buy games from them or if you seem to want to copy their games and replay them for free - then it's piracy 101 so why would they allow this - they simply wouldn't!@@tomykong2915
MVG 11 days ago: Bye for now....
MVG 11 days later: Let's talk about this shady thing.
Love it.
Mistakes were made...
He's actually posted more frequently after they video.
I don't think I've EVER heard you drop the F-bomb on this channel. Honestly that's a HUGE thing underscoring how serious this whole thing could be for him. If he IS still involved and is still farting around with the crew that landed him in prison once, the odds are good he's not going to learn his lesson this time. Technical aspect aside-- this will be a very useful tool in like ten or 15 years when the Switch has been EOL and gear for it dries up-- he needs to Not Be Doing This Right Now.
It's a useful tool now 😊
Assuming he knows this video will be seen by him and it’s delivering a very direct message.
But he would be crazy to get back into it so soon after getting out of prison. No judge will offer any leniency for repeat offending.
@@CallMeRabbitzUSVI The point is this is bad timing. The Switch is still being actively patched and is still Nintendo's current flagship product. It's too high profile and there is a good chance Nintendo will patch it into not working. Not to mention there's still way too much chance of Nintendo taking legal action. The best strategy is to save all hacks, jailbreaks, and workarounds for a console until it hits end of life. The nature of the product and its high profile means it likely WON'T be a useful tool in a few years as Nintendo starts to wrap up patching the Switch.
EDIT: A similar thing happened with the 3DS. There was way too much dicking around and openly advertising the capabilities of the flashcarts being sold. Nintendo eventually locked down and knocked out a good chunk of the older flashcarts and hack methods unless you can downgrade your console.
It threw me off a bit as well. Wasn't expecting it from MVG, but it really does point out the seriousness.
I could swear I've heard him swear before, but it's been a long time
G'day from Aus. Wishing a happy and prosperous new year MVG! This upload is good; and my dude, the F-bomb :)
Soo... if Gary Bowser is actually involved in this and he uses the profit to pay off his debt, does that mean we're supporting Nintendo by pirating their games now?
Good question there....hmmmm 🤔
It's one of those you need the guy to continue his operation if you ever want to see the money you want to get out of him
I now wonder if the debt was made high on purpose as a way to monitor Gary's financial activities. If he's barely making payments, he's doing fine. If he's paying off the fine like a breeze, send a fed to his door.
Happy to see you! Happy new year. I watch your videos every week. Probably my favorite creator. Just so down to earth and I'm the industry
Cool to see a flashcart finally being made, just gotta wait for someone else to clone it. Remeber, these are the same guys who will destroy your console if their software thinks you're trying to pirate their piracy tool. They've done this with several of their products across multiple consoles, including the Switch. I'm hoping this could lead to hardmod-less CFW.
This won't enable CFW in the slightest, the cart reader isn't accessed during the boot process so you aren't going to be able to inject anything early enough
@@shanematthews1985 That's a damn shame. From what I've read now, this is only capable of running signed retail games, so the only use for this is pira...excuse me...umm...backups! I'd just picofly my (patched) switch, but I'm not comfortable sending my switch to some guy somewhere to mod it for me, and I'm not risking the microscopic soldering myself. I've been waiting for either a software exploit or some non-intrusive hardware exploit, looks like I'll still be waiting...
@@shanematthews1985I may be wrong but didn't ninjahax on the 3ds cause an overflow somehow, which then caused errors and allowed code execution? Unless games are completely cut off from any sort of system files, there should be some way to run code.
@@fders938
To me, this is interesting for those digital-only games on the Switch. I'm a believer in physical collections, so I buy hundreds of games on each console to play. But this whole "you get part on the cartridge and part download" thing we're going through at the moment can get fuck*d to be frank. I don't care if it's piracy, if you're not letting me buy a physical copy, then I'm going to do it myself.
@@shanematthews1985not yet.
So the worst thing is, I remember listening to an interview with Gary on the podcast Darknet Diaries. He went through his entire history before going into prison, and I thought to myself, man... hes done alot, and now hes out of prison. I hope he has a good life with his head low, maybe helping the homebrew scene or something... and... Nope, here we are again.
(Also, would highly recommend the episode "Team Xecuter" by Darknet Diaries on whatever your podcast app of choice is, as it goes into technical details, and details about Gary's life in general)
Oh THAT’S where I’ve heard this story befofe
Another great video! Welcome back and happy new year MVG!
Happy New Year, MVG. Much love!
An f bomb in an MVG video?? Almost thought it was my birthday or something... Kidding aside, this is quite the discovery. I saw all the articles covering it, and I figured it was some new upstart group of hackers. Guess it pays to dig deeper. Happy New Year! Great way to start it out.
Hey, I thought you were taking a break. I was really happy to see this video!
Happy New Year MVG!!! Nice vid to start this year off with!
Happy 2024 and thanks for the great content as usual!
Yes , was waiting to hear your take on it !
If it is them then I have more faith in the quality of the product.
I hope it is.. They are the standard when it comes to quality of hacking devices..
I already have a modded switch, I'm hoping this will allow me to use a second addition sd card for more game storage.
Iirc. They were alao behind the sky3ds card, which contained bricking software if you avoided the limited amount of games you could use it with.
If you want homebrew, get one of those micro pi's, program it yourself and have someone solder it in for you...
@@randybobandy9828you can already do that
@@DCG909wasn’t that some group called Gateway?
My first day back in the office after a week off and I get a MVG video! Happy New Year!!
Great vid and good to see you starting the year strong MVG
Strong possibility it could be. Thanks for the video
This is the best explanation about this so far. If you disassemble the code in the leak the keys are there(they might of used different keys for production units). I didn't know they got them also from the hardware. Nvrom is down to 60nm (trust me 4gb to 64gb can use much larger nm and nm is not true nm)and they got optical down to 30nm for checking wafers so the decap would be not too hard.
I wish I understood this?
Some people remove plastics etc with acids, sulphuric and nitric the clean in acetone. Then take pictures of the rom to get the code of a secured device.
@@Geneo-en5km I think it's about some type of ultra high res microscope that can read decapped chips and extract the data from them?
@@Geneo-en5kmSearch for decapping ICs or decapping chips here on CZcams, it's very interesting what they manage to do (and dangerous! as acids are involved).
Happy New Year MVG. Here's hoping you have a great one.
I'll be following this and I'm curious how this device works... Great video mvg! Also hearing you curse was interesting lol
Things are about to get very exciting
MVG hearing you drop the F-Bomb while warning someone is something that’s never happened, and it’s kinda scary, man.
Great video to start off the new year. Cheers!
this has to be the best coverage in this topic yet, it’s amazing. thank you mvg ❤
This has come to mind lately. With all the legal troubles this team did in sure they learned a thing or 2 about copyright laws. This has enabled them to walk the line and they know where to push and where to not push by now. 🤫
This is why you are an important part of the game preservation movement, MVG ❤
Game preservation for a system that's still current? Come on. This is a piracy tool for 99% of those who use it.
Happy New Year MVG!
Great video; thanks. Happy new year!!
If it starts raining, it may be a sign that the orbital ion cannon owned by Nintendo's legal team is powering up.
Fascinating as this is not technically not illegal, just extremely gray. I do think that this is very important for game preservation.
It's irrelevant for preservation. You have been able to dump Switch games for half a decade now and this is using a proprietary format which may not ever be compatible with anything else.
@@butchdeadlift7551and you realllllly think the community wont RE this/their software to allow it to use .xci/.nsp? That will be week 1 after release id bet
I doubt there is much to preserve when it comes to physical about a system still in production right now.
@tezcanaslan2877 thats exactly it, preserve it now while you can. Waiting till its no longer in production is exactly how you end up missing out.
Has absolutely nothing to do with preservation
Not a long hiatus! Good to see
Was waiting on this for the definitive summary thanks.
I've got no issue with Gary. We had a really cool experience back in 2011. 😂🎉
Team-Xecuter is the GOAT going back to the OG xbox days, into the 360 and beyond.
Wow, wow, wow, you're back already?!! Ooooh lovely :)
I just wanted to say that I have enjoyed and learned so much from your videos since I came across them here. I have been interested in modding software and hardware since around 2006, when I stumbled upon a forum for modding Motorola phones, and realized the cake was a lie, and manufacturers of consumer devices weren't being honest with us about the capabilities of their devices, nor were they doing due diligence in providing the newest, most capable versions of firmware for devices that were destined to never be updated once purchased.
I think it really speaks to how good of a person you are that you would even make this video, which I feel is motivated by nothing more than a desire to give advice to someone in a way that they will not be able to avoid it.
Thanks again for sharing all the information that you do with us.
One last question, that i've always been curious about. Do you use FL Studio to create your videos' music? I love FL, another hobby. I can't help but hear similarities in your synth choices with some of the vst's in that DAW.
anyways, have a good day, I hope you continue to provide us with the sort of technical, informative videos that people like me crave. Thanks for feeding the moddmonster that lives inside my head!
As much as I’m intrigued by the MIG Switch, if Gary Bowser is even tangentially involved with it then Nintendo are going to go out of their way to ruin him. It isn’t worth having his life completely destroyed, he needs to take a step back & consider everything.
I mean, if your name is Bowser, you can bet that Nintendo will be trying to ruin you. What else are they supposed to do with their arch enemy?
It'll be OK. MVG told him to 'get the f out'.
Ironically NoA ceo is also named Bowser... @kakkoiradio
They've already ruined him. He has to pay Nintendo an unimaginable amount of money over his lifetime. They will be garnishing his wages for the rest of his life. What more could they do?
@@FrostyTheClowndon’t underestimate Nintendo lawyers
That would be pretty cool. Much like the system I had on the PSP
MVG great video, but please do more console security cracked videos. They were by far your most in depth, incredible videos by far. Love your channel and hope you’re having a fantastic 2024 so far ❤️
Thanks alot bro for the video and happy new year 🎉
This device looks awesome. I'd be interested in picking one up along with a used Switch Lite for a spare just for traveling or something. Also, score one for preservation since too many cartridges require online day 1 downloads.
My concern is the rumored Switch 2 hardware isn't finalized yet, and this device could cause Nintendo to eliminate physical Switch cartridge backwards compatibility as a precaution.
This won't resolve the issue with day 1 updates being required, its only going to back up the physical cart, so if data is missing from the cart it will remain missing from the dump
@@shanematthews1985 Day 1 updates just makes it less likely that people who believe in video game preservation will buy physical games. I know I won't.
Finally something worth buying for my Switch lmao.
This is the content i look forward to the most by MVG
That was a down right solid, and straight forward choice of words to tell generally anyone, especially after they've served prison time. Not that it's any of my business, but if I were Gary, I would take your advice and walk away before a longer prison sentence sneaks up and fucks me over for a longer duration.
Anyhow, hope you're having a good start to the New Year. I for one am looking forward to the new content as it comes out of course.
Cheers from Texas!
At this point in the hardware cycle I'm so impressed by Ryujinx and Yuzu that I don't even care about using original hardware anymore.
Tbf I do want this just to use said Yuzu so I can play xbc1 and 2 on PC
Yep, it's just a better way to play the games.
Same, I sold my Switch years ago because Yuzu is an infinity better experience and Nintendo doesn't deserve my money.
They are both awesome.
I wouldn't worry about online capabilities considering both Yuzu and Ryujinx (LDN build) have the ability of playing your backups online. And it's likely legit as all popular Nintendo cartridge based systems have flash carts.
Wait, yuzu can do online?
@@666Drazil It likely uses the "LAN" mode that certain games support, it will enable you to do things like local multiplayer but online, it won't allow access to actual online services
@@666Drazil Yes, go to create room or join room. Make sure you have set up a profile if you have not done so yet.
Just be aware if you've been playing games your saved games are under the default profile name of Yuzu. Simply make another profile with a preferred name, then make IT your default. Don't forget to move all of your saved games to the new profile.
Once you've done this... create a room for yourself and some friends, or join a room and have fun.
Ryujinx with the LDN build can be used online as well. I believe Citra can do the same with 3DS games.
Iirc it replicates the "local wireless" mode and can't use the actual Nintendo online mode. That said, Yuzu DOES have online support oddly enough; if you run the h0mebrew store nro in the emulator, the program will work
Happy new year, MVG and fans!
Great to hear from mvg so early in the year. Hope you had a great New Year
Oh man, MVG swore 😂 Run Gary, RUUUUUUUN!

I was actually thinking myself when this was revealed that this is Team Xecuter rebranded. I wonder how much merit there is to that

This most likely best channel for this type of content
When the switch first came out, there were videos endlessly comparing cartridge, internal memory, and MicroSD load speeds. If I remember correctly internal memory was slightly faster than cartridges which were faster than micro SD. Would it be possible for Nintendo themselves that implement some kind of speed testing on games that runs in the background to determine if a cartridge game is loading slower than it should be?
Possibly, but they don't really need to if certificates are unique for each game cartridge.
I don't see why they couldn't
There are different speeds of SD cards, they can record 8k60 raw now, so because speed is all dependant on the sd+slot speed inside the flash cart, it has wiggle room and could just emulate it being the exact same speed as a cartridge.
I really vibe with the design
MVG I've been waiting for your take on the Mig switch.
Welcome back @modern vintage gamer I been a fan for a while a amazing videos
Didn’t think it would happen before this line of consoles from Nintendo went buy the wayside. I want this so bad. 😢 really wish you didn’t have to always eject the cart though.
According to THEIR rules, I don't own the games I pay for. So, it's not piracy if I never owned their games in the first place. I will have this day one if possible. I truly hope Team Xecuter is behind this. I love this.
As Cory Doctorow says: If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing
Honestly this is the future of this companies want, streaming and renting everything in their servers to have full control of our products and assets we bought.
MVG, never stop making videos! As a fellow reverse engineering and gaming entusiast, your channel is so interesting for me and so many thousands of others.
Love the detail there MVG. Interesting how Gary is involved with this after hearing him talk about things to Darknet Diaries.

Great video as always.

Well shiiet! Also happy new year!
Thank you for your work!!!
One interesting thing that was possible for the Sky3DS cards was to have your own header set up for all games you play online.
So, I did the following thing:
I used one of my singleplayer 3DS games (I think it was Majoras Mask 3D).
I grabbed the unique header from the game and set it as my unique header.
Since even offline Games have unique headers even if I were to sell it at some point (I won't) I still will always be the ONLY person with that header online - unless someone were to take my cartridge and grab the header without my knowledge.
If anything like that is possible on the Switch, it will be easy sailing - I literally played dozens of online 3DS games and my 3DS is still 100% functional and not banned.
Sad to see Gary involved in this, that being said, if his life is actually miserable out of prison he may just think he doesn't have much to lose. After all it took a long time for him to get convicted the first time.
Fines made the dude broke multiple times over, considering the leader threw the whole of the consequences entirely on him as the PR guy, it'd make sense that his only options would be to fall back in or just die.
Interesting how the justice system works like that ain't it?
Gary is a grifter. He has a GoFundMe to help him get his life back together.
He’s a smart dude that used to make video cards for the 8 bit computers in the 80s, I’m not sure I buy the “I’m just the web guy”. Interesting the timing of him being released 6 months ago and now they have a new product.
But regardless of his involvement one way or not at all the dude is still a bad ass. Hope he manages to stay out of jail
Didn't this guy sell cartridges that bricked a switch unless you paid a ransom?
great explanation as always
When I heard about this flashcard, I knew you would come back 😅
i REALLY hope this turns out to be something good for the homebrew community eventually, otherwise there is going to be a whole bunch of piracy and no homebrew
like if there was an exploit like ntrboot on 3ds or something for the switch using this flashcart
Flashcarts are ONLY EVER used for piracy now.
Nintendo can easily patch any hardware exploits, they only chose not to with the 3DS line because it probably wasn't worth it with the Switch selling so well.
Unless the Switch 2 releases soon, Nintendo is just going to release new hardware to fix said exploits.
Also the homebrew community has their own exploits already, if you want you can use an RCM exploit to boot custom firmware on unpatched Switches to run homebrew.
@@jazuqua but that's the point - it only works on unpatched Switches, so anything that's been produced in the last... 4 or so years is out of the question. That's the majority of Switch units just being unviable, unless the user wants to play around with microsoldering.
Once Nintendo moves onto the next console, we could see more exploits cropping up - Nintendo wouldn't be fixing the old consoles with new hardware revisions, and even software updates would dry up eventually. I'm hoping that we see a repeat of what happened to the 3DS.
piracy is great
Sure piracy will be the main thing, but homebrew will be the most curious thing i will be looking for, even though i will buy another switch just to play the homebrew cartridges
They me cease,,, but they will never desist! ツ
Happy new year bro..
Awesome video!❤
Gary OPA is a legend
Bowser is def acting like a big goof, probably getting setup but shouldnt be apart of it at all honestly, hopefully he put points into his luck stats.
Just pre-ordered, I've always been happy with Xecuter products even back in the xbox 360 era.
You can preorder?
Wait? How much is it?

Welcome back
I was like "too bad MVG retired, I would've love him cover this", it's a late Christmas miracle
What? No he didn't he just said he's slowing down
that was just a regular "i'm leaving" clickbait video, pretty lame
@@LarryDavis2099 Why is everyone doing this meme lately?
If I'm honest, the idea of an official product like this from Nintendo to make digital games physical is something I'd be 500% behind, like it works in a similar way to how you transfer data to a new SD card on the PC for your Switch. I don't really know where I stand here since there are some benefits on an individual level, but because of the connectivity of the Switch it becomes risky, even if it's your own games backed up.
All they need is an "install to console" option that doesn't require the cart and a quick internet connection on start to prevent duplicate installs. No need for any more hardware.
Not sure how legal it is for me to say this, even though it is common knowledge, but the Nintendo consoles have blank development cartridges, this design could actually be co-opted to make blank cartridges you can move your eShop purchases to. Say I have "Project Diva Mega39s" purchased in digital, I would buy a cartridge that can fit the game plus updates, go into the context menu, insert the blank cartridge, and pick an option along the lines of "Copy Digital Game to User Cartridge" that will copy the game and updates to said blank cartridge.
@@NTNozomu Those cartridges are almost certainly blocked on retail hardware
I already got one pre-ordered (from a Chinese re-seller). Will only use it on a spare hacked console offline. I really like the convenience a device like this can offer.
Very informative, very nice.
First time MVG drops an F-bomb in a video. Shit must be getting real.
The glory days of hardware mods is sorely missed. GaryOPA should continue to move forward with his plans. I see plans, within plans.
most gangster piracy youtuber lol australians rock happy new year bro
I'm hoping to get my hands on this, I never was able to find myself after the take down the Team Xecuter dongle..
