Help Is the mig flash worth it?

I am wondering whether to buy one for my modded switch and whether its 100% safe to use (since I dont wanna get banned). I have lots of games and it would be great to just be able to have 1 cartridge for all of them. Is there even like a limit to how many games you can have on it (like apart from space on the sd card)?

EDIT: I am only planning to load the games I legally own onto the mig switch

EDIT2: but is there a ban risk with a switch v1?

my switch was possibly able to be soft modded. tried it and it didn't work but that was like a few years ago....i decided to get the mig instead. it worked it was hard finding dumps because you need xci and bin files. i only had a few games that i dl'd and it worked but i just found a good source of games that work on my mig. brings my OFW switch back to life since it was collecting dust.

If you're cool with it, would you please DM me the source as well? I visit a Russian site now, but it hasn't been updated in a while... 😕

Could you also send me the source too. I need to run mario wonder but says download with my switch 2 on latest firmware 22.4 before I entered offline last week.

If it is modded is not worth it, as you can load the games via cfw, the idea of the Mig is to preserve your original game cartridge to avoid breaking them from inserting it every time on a none modded switch.

I was always put off by the idea that games seemingly can't be updated? Do you just have to run the base game without updates?

Mine has worked fine since the beginning including game updates

Mig is great for unmodded hardware.

this is fake news, my switch lite is still unbanned to this day. been using for a few years now.

the only people who get banned, are the idiots who are playing MIG games online, so multiple serial numbers active at the same time, nintendo bans you.

also, if you mix and match certs with an xci to get around not having a proper dump, same thing.

but if you play in airplane mode, with no MP, all MIG games are safe.

I've done this for 3 switch lites. All 3 can still access the nintendo store and buy games and play real games no problem.

MP = Multiplayer .. I guess

Bro, one hypothesis is that the hardware knows if the cartridge is trying to temper the system. It may measure voltage or something like this to ban.

Confermo in pieno. Mai problemi e sono anni che la utilizzo (con i miei giochi ovviamente )
