The original title of the article is "Is MIG Switch being sued?" but I wanted to make it less clickbaity.

The article by Wololo goes into more detail.

I have issues mit my GB USB Smartcard 64M. I am using ems-qart software under linux. The software doesnt find the card (screenshot attached)

This is the message in the terminal:

Failed to open device, libusb error: LIBUSB_ERROR_IO Failed to open device, libusb error: LIBUSB_ERROR_NO_DEVICE Could not find device, is it plugged in?

As I can see with lsusb, it is acutally there:

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 4670:9394 EMS Production Game Cube USB Memory Adaptor 64M

Starting ems-qart as root doesnt solve the issue. I checked the cable, and used three different ones... but always the same behaviour.

Any Ideas?

Hello, I'm in the process of making this small site that will quickly tell you which kernels to download. Unfortunately life is getting in the way but I'd figure I'd show off what I have, in case it's useful to anyone else as it covers some of the current easily-obtainable clones.

I'm open to suggestions on more carts to add, or contributions in the forms of pictures or software. My goal is to make this a sort of visual guide, where users match their flashcarts to the pics on the site to find the kernel they need. I'm also looking for a way to store and add pictures without screwing up the site. I was thinking of hosting super-compressed 256x256 images of front+back of all the flashcarts, but idk I have no experience in web design. Let me know what you think.
