Sorry because I'm sure some of this has been asked but I haven't been following the news lately. If I buy an SX lite do you also have to buy the OS? Can you use a different OS like Atmosphere? Is it even possible to activate the OS now with whatever is going on with SX?

For the Switch Lite currently only sx will work.
SX activation cannot be done upfront, must be done after the core chip is installed.

Thanks, do you get the OS with the modchip? Can it still be activated? Also for people who bought off aliexpress can you link the listing? I see one on aliexpress rn and it is having a sale which is why I'm considering getting one now.

The license is with the modchip. Activation should work as long as the servers are up and running.

Okay guys, I had fun and now it's a total mess. When I turn on the console, the light is red and steady. The backlight of the screen turns on but the screen stay black. I think they are shorts, I hope cap are still fine.
I have to buy a new soldering tip. I'm also ordering a desoldering mesh.

UPDATE: The switch is dead, a cap looks burned and the screen stays totally off. CPU gets also very very hot. RIP poor little switch. You didn't live long enough to celebrate your first birthday.

And what about classic switch ? I am pretty concerned of future of sx os so it is safer to use atmosphere IMHO.

All V1 Erista models are supported my Atmo. V2 Mariko currently not but I think the community is working in the background on that too, so I'd expect they will be supported in future as well....

Hi Sirs, my switch is working these past few months, sx lite switch.. I don't know what happened, it's my son who plays this switch.. Maybe it fell or something
It doesn't go to green after the blue light.. Only cyan or white color.. Please help.. What is the meaning of white led?

Most likely its not communicating with nand. This means that one of the solder points (one of the ones on the upper side) has broken. You have to open it and check them

Hi

Do you know how many Farads is the big capacitor in the lite?

The one between the two screws... a friend of mine "broke" it and sometimes works and some not

Another quick question does anyone know of either sx core or Sx lite will work on OFW 10.2.0? I know they won’t work on 11.0 but some games I wanted to try need my switch to be on at least 10.2.0

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
