X-Men Children of the Atom and X-Men vs Street Fighter are both working on firmware 153 along with some Sega Ages games that weren't working previously. Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter still crashes but a fix is in the works according to the changelog at https://info.satiator.net/firmware/

For what it's worth, the Satiator finally supports Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter as of firmware 160 which was released towards the end of October. I just updated my Satiator and gave it a whirl. I had no issues.

The old google doc of compatible games is quite out of date. I don't think it has been updated since 2020. Some Googling turned up a GitHub issue tracker that seems to be the current place to track and report incompatibilities. https://github.com/satiator/compatibility/issues The remaining issues for the most part seem minor or they only affect a small subset of Saturn models.

New Nintendo Switch cartridge backup unit and flash cart: Mig Switch
some more information @ GBATemp

I'd be a little concerned that an upcoming firmware update would be able to detect it somehow, and ban your account/switch unit, but I still want one. Seems sorta like that Sky3DS flashcart.

I'm still a newb to this stuff, so I'm curious as to what the advantages of a Switch flash cart are over a hacked, unpatched Switch or a mod chipped oled model. Some people are acting like the Switch just became hackable for the first time.

The biggest advantage of a flash cart is the lower technical barrier of entry, especially on the newer patched models. For a lot of people that don't want to mess with CFW and/or mod chips, it really is the first solution to hack their Switch so I'm not surprised.

Just watched MVG's video on the upcoming Mig Switch, and it looks like it won't be useful to pirates; Each game cartridge has a unique serial code. Any game found in the wild in the Mig Switch's proprietary format would get the console banned for having used a blacklisted game serial.
Also interesting that it might be associated with Team Xecuter, and Gary Bowser.
I still want one. It's so cool. I wanna lend my games out while I don't play games, and keep my carts safe.
IDK about the outer wrap plastic. I'll rip and tear to share!
