The Nintendo Switch world was shaken by the reveal of a flash cart. This cart, known as MIG Switch, acts like the Nintendo DS’s R4 flash cart and allows users to play ROMs. As time went by, more details regarding the flash cart were revealed. One of the most impressive facts was that the cart would not be able to be blocked by a firmware update. In fact, the flash cart was confirmed to work with all versions of the Nintendo Switch, including current ones.
Of course, the rise of such a device brought questions about whether the infamous Team Xecuter was behind its creation. After all, the hacker group was well-known for producing branded hardware, allowing users to bypass the Nintendo Switch’s security. However, one of the leads of Team Xecuter has stepped up to deny any involvement with the production of the flash cart.
Gary Bowser, one of Team Xecuter’s leads who was recently released from prison, denied being involved with the creation of MIG Switch on X. You can see the statement made in response to another user below:
I am not involved with this stuff.

What’s more, VGC reported that Gary further elaborated on the lack of involvement with this flash cart. Bowser spoke about an alleged DNS poisoning attack in which he said he was being threatened by a bad actor seeking ransom money. According to the report, Bowser said the following:
“I was the subject of DNS poisoning attack on my nameservers, I repaired the damage and changed all my passwords, but sadly people will talk, not what I needed just before Christmas. And also just a day after someone was threatening me via Skype, demanding I send them $1,000 per month for next 40 months, or they would leak a bunch of shit. I am not going to engage the trolls or comment on it.”
MIG Switch is slated to be released sometime this year.
