Everything in the Tinwoo app. The selected language option says "En", but pretty much everything else, meaning almost every other word in the app, is displaying Chinese characters instead of English letters or words.

ok, you are right, but the latest release is from 2020, you can raise a ticket on github.

I do recommend you to use DBI or AtmoXL-Titel-Installer they has been updated recently.

Sooo.... I love this app/plugin/whatever you want to call it; it's my default installer.

However, right after I installed the latest update, all the text is in Chinese. And I have English as the selected language.

WTF happened?
Delete the config.json file from your switch/tinwoo folder. I changed some of the code for languages. Your config file is pointing to 99, it should be 0 now. Just delete that file and restart tinwoo and it will go to English.

nothing buddy, That what I did:

via FTP transfer the latest TinWoo-Installer.zip just downloaded from GitHub (ea925ea10a5e76b933b32a32f9e8b893a4b55fb079da4dbca0e88fc9fa20c9bf *TinWoo-Installer_1_0_18.zip) to my console:

my console is setting like:

then run tinwoo for the first time on title override mode:

As you can see the Japanese language is the default one, after exiting this is the content of the SD:/switch/tinwoo/config.json file

selecting any of other languages, (JP, FR, DE, IT, RU, ES or TW) the language changes correclty:

But if I select "System" language or English:

1694918753335.png

as you can see the language is "En" and the flag is England one, but the interface is on Japanese.

Ok I'll have another look at it tomorrow, it's weird how it works fine for me though. Paste your config file.

Hi I did everything you said and it still stays on Japanese I reverted to version 1.0.12 and it went back to English but if I update via update in app to new version it forces Japanese language. So I am guessing it is something in the new update?

sometimes happen, don't worry.
I've just formatted an sd card, done a fresh install of atmospherenx and hekate, downloaded tinwoo from github and that's the only app in the switch/tinwoo folder I installed. Ran Tinwoo and instantly it goes to English.

things what happen.
Well I can't fix it if I don't get an error, everything is working fine for me. I am using a version 1 patchable switch, System language is set to English although this shouldn't matter as it gets that language file from romfs, in the code the default value of 0 is set to English.

Also your config file is wrong, it should have list override in it:

Code:
{
    "autoUpdate": true,
    "deletePrompt": true,
    "fixticket": true,
    "gAuthKey": "AIzaSyBMqv4dXnTJOGQtZZS3CBjvf748QvxSzF0",
    "gayMode": false,
    "httpIndexUrl": "http://",
    "httpkeyboard": false,
    "httplastUrl": "http://",
    "ignoreReqVers": true,
    "languageSetting": 0,
    "listoveride": false,
    "overClock": true,
    "sigPatchesUrl": "https://github.com/mrdude2478/patches/releases/download/1/patches.zip",
    "usbAck": false,
    "useSound": true,
    "validateNCAs": true
}

You aren't generating a proper config file and that's why you are having issues. Mine got generated by the program as I deleted it.

I also have a V1 unpatched, using EmuNAND file based, there is any way to test the code which get the language and "sense" the system language?

Try this, it works perfect for me. The language is set by reading that config file - 0 means English, then it reads a json file from romfs.

    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
