Guide on create and test connection and drivers:

Well, in RCM the laptop detects it and I updated my libusbk driver (which was already installed and working through USB-A). But as soon as it boots, windows no longer detects it. No DBI appears in zadig even after listing all devices. It seems after the switch boots the laptop doesn't recognize the switch no matter what (through the usb-c ports).

if you follow the guide you will install drivers for both states, RCM and DBI/Homebrew.

I know that, I have them installed, and have reinstalled them. If I connect through USB-A it works great, DBI, Awoo, whatever. The problem is that there is no sign of life in either of the USB-C ports after the switch boots, the only stuff that works is in RCM and Hekate.

I Had a weird issue before where a few USB ports on my PC would not pickup my Switch without first connecting a USB hub to them.
This has been dead for some time, but yeah this is it. If it is a thunderbolt port you have to use some sort of HUB and connect the switch to that (and even then only USB A worked, not USB-C).

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
