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).

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    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
