00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.960
this dangerous modified cartridge makes playing backed up switch games so easy

00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:11.920
that anyone can do it no rare Hardware

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:17.680
revisions no mod chips nothing and when I say dangerous I don't mean to you

00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:20.279
you'll be fine I mean for me if this

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:24.640
video gets taken down the Mig switch is going to be the reason you see I'm not

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:29.279
doing anything illegal and I won't be violating any of Nintendo's copyrights

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:34.000
in this video but what I will be doing is showing you guys some accessories and

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:40.680
modifications that Nintendo wishes were illegal and they are well known

00:00:36.879 --> 00:00:42.520
for oh we're back that's great well

00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:47.320
quick before it happens again let me tell you about our sponsor hetner they

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:51.320
offer gdpr compliant high performance Cloud servers which consist of ond

00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:56.280
demand cloud computing platforms and apis on a metered pay as youo basis

00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:01.239
don't miss out and use code lt24 at the link below for €20 off well if the goal

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:06.080
was for me to not be able to tell that I've got a pirate cartridge in here

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:11.560
mission accomplished this feels exactly like the real thing and that's because

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.040
as far as your switch can tell it is the

00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:20.640
original cartridge now we may never find out who exactly is making the Mig switch

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:23.640
I mean sure Mr Bowser notorious Nintendo

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:26.360
hacker SL main villain got out of jail

00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:30.520
the year prior to its release and sure his email was tied to the products URL

00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:34.000
for a second but come on Nintendo's leash on him is so tight that they

00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:39.920
allegedly garnished $175 of his prison wage and besides it

00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:44.320
takes a lot longer than that to design a tool that is this seamless and

00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:49.759
sophisticated to use it all you need is the Mig switch itself your switch

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:51.600
console and the contents of your own

00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:56.119
authentic game cartridge which you can obtain using either the Mig switch

00:01:53.320 --> 00:02:00.560
dumper accessory or the Mig dump tool app we're going to have more of a guide

00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:05.119
Style video for some of the too hot for YouTube stuff that we're doing today

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.600
over at lg. g/f Floatplane but at least

00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:10.959
for this mod I think you guys will figure it out on your own it's not

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:15.080
perfect as of right now it's pretty hard to get your hands on the dumper and if

00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:19.560
your intention was to use it for pirating switch games you should be

00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:24.160
warned that it is hard to find ROMs in the correct format online also if you

00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:30.440
intend to use a ROM that you obtained via illegitimate means online be warned

00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:34.280
that logging in with a card that has been ripped and used by

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:38.879
multiple people could easily get you flagged if Nintendo decides to employ

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:42.879
very Draconian countermeasures against this device now I have my doubts about

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:46.640
them doing that since this would also impact the owners of secondhand games

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:51.599
but Nintendo has done some pretty surprising stuff in the past speaking of

00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:57.400
the ghosts of Nintendo's past with two more eShop closures in 2023 the only

00:02:54.920 --> 00:03:02.000
Nintendo approved way to grow your Wii U library is to pay the exorbitant

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:07.319
collector taxs for those sweet teal DVD cases but this video isn't about the

00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:09.440
Nintendo approved way is it it's modding

00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:14.920
time folks thanks to the helpful folks over at Wii u. hack.gu you too can have

00:03:12.799 --> 00:03:20.120
your Wii U swearing allegiance to the flag in less than 30 minutes custom

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:24.680
firmware unlocks the ability to play backups as well as unlocking hidden

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:31.840
features like compatibility with Gamecube isos in Hardware that's right

00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:34.360
my friends no imulation performance hit

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:41.439
to oversimplify things a little bit the we use espresso processor is essentially

00:03:37.959 --> 00:03:44.360
three wi CPUs duct taped together which

00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:49.560
each in turn are the gamecube's gecko chip on steroids the Wii U System

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:54.680
Controller then just adjusts the cores disables some RAM and enables a hidden

00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:57.439
GPU block and baby you're

00:03:54.680 --> 00:04:02.799
Cuban man I have really got to do this to mind three generations of Hardware

00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:06.760
level Nintendo game support and that is on top of the dozens of other machines

00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:11.799
that you can emulate that is depending on the OS that you choose to install now

00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:15.519
the standard moving forward is aroma but a lot of Homebrew is still awaiting

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:20.120
compatibility updates so we'd recommend installing both it and the older TI misu

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:25.199
to your SD card in the meantime and there you have it a modded Wii U is the

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:32.680
easiest option if you want an almost One-Stop shop Nintendo machine but is it

00:04:27.919 --> 00:04:35.280
the best option well actually maybe not

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:41.039
you see because the Wii U was outsold by its older brother seven times over it

00:04:38.039 --> 00:04:44.400
happens to be seven times rarer and

00:04:41.039 --> 00:04:47.240
therefore about seven times as expensive

00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:53.440
so if you need an HDMI output but you're not interested in the shrinking list of

00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:55.639
wiii U only titles the a HDMI mod for

00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:59.960
the original Wii might be a better option it grabs a digital signal right

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:05.080
from the graphics chain so there's no crappy conversion but be warned this

00:05:02.520 --> 00:05:09.479
install is definitely for advanced users only but there are some very compelling

00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:13.240
reasons to put in the effort the Wii has built-in Hardware support for GameCube

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:17.680
controllers memory cards and discs it has a much bigger modding scene so it's

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:22.160
easier to find resources and it doesn't require you to switch from TV to Gamepad

00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:30.039
in order to navigate menus it also looks a lot better which I know sounds crazy

00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:32.840
but hear me out while the Wii U scales

00:05:30.039 --> 00:05:39.680
OG Wii games to 1080p for its HDMI output it doesn't do it well and yes the

00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:45.120
Wii's output is blurry too but that's only if you do things Nintendo's way you

00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:49.000
see instead of pushing more pixels or using sophisticated post-processing

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:54.240
Hardware in order to enhance smoothness Nintendo chose to implement two visual

00:05:51.400 --> 00:06:00.319
shortcuts that seriously degrade the Wii's output the first is that in

00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:05.960
widescreen mode games are just natively rendered in 4x3 then they're stretched

00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:11.160
for the final output wide screen more like wide scam and the second and more

00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:15.039
egregious of the two was their smear filter that was meant to mitigate the

00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:20.000
flicker of interlaced video and also serve as a form of rudimentary

00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:25.560
anti-aliasing thankfully with a modded Wii system you can toggle these options

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:27.520
off and the soft mod is even simpler

00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:31.599
than the one for the Wii U just follow the guide at we. hack.gu

00:06:29.599 --> 00:06:36.520
install USB loader GX to The Homebrew Channel and disable both filters at will

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.400
now there are times when you might want to leave the frame buffer option enabled

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:43.560
in order to preserve the shape of onscreen objects but other times I

00:06:41.960 --> 00:06:48.160
promise that you will notice a significant Improvement in both the

00:06:45.880 --> 00:06:52.639
analog signals and assuming yours is modded the HDMI output which by the way

00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:58.520
can both be used simultaneously even while playing

00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:00.360
GameCube games super cool for streamers

00:06:58.520 --> 00:07:06.120
speaking of the GameCube the list of possible upgrades feels endless for this

00:07:02.919 --> 00:07:07.720
guy want a quieter fan great mod a cheap

00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:12.680
connector onto a better one want to throw out this stupid brick of a power

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:15.000
brick drop in a new type-c powerboard

00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:18.759
wired cables and high wave bird prices got you down how about this Bluetooth

00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:22.400
compatible input board from laser bear now of course none of those things

00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:27.000
really fit in with our title so let's talk about playing backed up games now

00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:31.919
you could wait for the flippy drive to become available soon TM it's going to

00:07:29.400 --> 00:07:36.560
be be less than $40 and we'll have a solderless install using this Nifty

00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:39.680
folding cable that slides between the optical disc and the motherboard

00:07:37.919 --> 00:07:44.199
connectors anyone who pre-ordered is going to be able to play both backup

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:48.800
isos and physical discs which isn't a given for most drop-in optical drive

00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:54.560
emulators but pre-order that doesn't help me today does it so instead we've

00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:58.639
used less than $5 worth of Parts a Micro SD card and a soldering iron and

00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:03.000
embarked upon an adventure of picco booting our lunch box

00:07:59.960 --> 00:08:05.639
and unlocking the wonders of the Galaxy

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:09.759
Ube you can back up your games load up some Homebrew or our favorite you can

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:13.639
use your Game Boy Player without that stupidly expensive disc that you lost

00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:17.440
years ago the non-official Game Boy experience is honestly better anyway

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:21.000
once you've installed the mods you want hey maybe treat yourself to a shell

00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:24.879
replacement for both the console and The Game Boy Player to give it a Y2K

00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:31.360
aesthetic that would make Joanna dark's highlights blush speaking of Y2K if you

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.479
want to play N64 games notice we don't

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:39.159
have one of those consoles on the table that's cuz you don't need one instead

00:08:35.839 --> 00:08:41.240
you can get a Mr fpga and use the N64

00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:46.360
core now regular viewers of this Channel or who follow the Retro Gaming scene

00:08:43.680 --> 00:08:50.800
probably already know that the Mr fpga is an open-source project that aims to

00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:55.519
use programmable Hardware to provide a nearly perfectly accurate retro

00:08:53.080 --> 00:09:00.000
experience in one tiny box and there are cores from more than just the N64 pretty

00:08:57.959 --> 00:09:07.079
much anything up to the 50 generation of gaming including retro PC platforms can

00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:09.079
be not emulated but almost replicated in

00:09:07.079 --> 00:09:14.240
Hardware there are a ton of options for parts accessories and cases this retro

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:20.839
Castle aluminum case is Bob from retro RGB's favorite one so it's our favorite

00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:25.440
too it's a great guy but in the past you were always locked to the de10 Nano a

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:30.480
development board that has more than doubled in Price ever since terasic saw

00:09:28.079 --> 00:09:35.200
a jump in demand and figured out that Gamers were using it to play games

00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:43.200
thankfully though a clone board using the same fpga chip is coming soon TM at

00:09:38.880 --> 00:09:45.519
the d1's original $99 price tag just uh

00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.680
don't tell Nintendo speaking of if you're even more price conscious you'll

00:09:46.959 --> 00:09:53.480
be glad to know that PC software emulation is better than ever and not

00:09:50.959 --> 00:09:58.160
just for the N64 dolphin the best GameCube in Wii Emulator can boost both

00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:02.800
smoothness and Fidelity and all it costs you is a little bit of ACC accuracy but

00:10:00.880 --> 00:10:07.640
that's just the tip of the iceberg there are other projects like N64 recm that

00:10:05.640 --> 00:10:14.000
are providing tools to simplify recompiling the code of fifth generation

00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:15.519
Nintendo games to run natively on PC

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:19.200
this will unlock quality of life upgrades like widescreen support and

00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:23.640
higher frame rates to make them more enjoyable than ever before in fact this

00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:27.079
one might be worth a dedicated video so uh give us a thumbs up and leave a

00:10:25.079 --> 00:10:29.720
comment if that's what you want to see I can't wait to see some of the mods that

00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:35.320
are going to show up for the these older games mods can long extend the life of

00:10:33.160 --> 00:10:39.760
products that you already own and while I understand Nintendo's perspective that

00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:44.200
this type of modding is tantamount to piracy which harms their bottom line in

00:10:41.800 --> 00:10:48.320
the short term it's clear from their current diversification strategy that at

00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:53.320
least someone over there understands that there are other ways to capitalize

00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:55.880
on their beloved IP that can not only be

00:10:53.320 --> 00:11:00.360
less antagonistic toward their fans but also more lucrative for everyone else

00:10:57.920 --> 00:11:04.040
over at Nintendo here's what I'll say about the current approach to shutting

00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:10.880
down the kinds of mods that we've looked at today especially for stuff you don't

00:11:06.839 --> 00:11:13.320
sell anymore one it's not going to work

00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:18.519
on their own principles such as they are hackers will outsmart your DRM scheme

00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:24.440
two some of the highest software attach rates of consoles past were easy targets

00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:29.360
for pirates meaning there may not be a direct long-term correlation between a

00:11:27.079 --> 00:11:34.000
platform's resilience to piracy and higher game sales and number three

00:11:32.040 --> 00:11:39.160
history has shown that the only way to effectively combat theft or piracy is to

00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:43.079
make paying for games a better experience than downloading them and I

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:47.760
promise you that if Nintendo Hardware was the best and smoothest way to

00:11:45.560 --> 00:11:52.399
experience Nintendo software switch emulation on handheld PCS wouldn't seem

00:11:50.079 --> 00:11:57.279
like such a threat just like our sponsor won't seem like a threat thanks to the

00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:00.480
smooth segue to Rocket money at this point it seems like almost every product
