hey guys, i was looking for some skin sticker for my switch.
but i read that it might damage the joy cons etc.?

anyone knows whether it is safe to use skin decals?

i usually use them mostly for smudge issues.
i buy only Matt finish type of skin decals.

was going to order one , but now not so sure :l

Adhesives were shown to deteriorate the finish on the joycon. info given by dbrand who were doing preorders of switch skins, but then refunded orders and pulled them from sale after testing showed every kind of adhesive they used had adverse affects on pretty much any part of the switch console, including the dock.

yeah , i read that on dbrand.
i guess i will just stay away from skins then, thankfully though the Switch is not glossy !!
so it is not really an issue, neither the console nor the joy cons are gloss, they are already kind of mat.
so i will just avoid skins.

I have the official Zelda stickers on my Switch. I don't know if they affect the finish as I'm not taking them off ever, but I didn't notice anything when I had to re-position a part a little. I think it's just because dbrand uses weird glue

There was another brand claiming their skins would not damage the Switch, but I'm not sure I would risk a $300 (actually way more in Norway) console by applying stickers to it, not when they are known to damage the console.

The officially endorsed Hori one that I have has never been recalled and Nintendo hasn't been seed for them, so I don't believe there is a problem there.

    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
