Someone on YouTube plays kingdom hearts: birth by sleep on switch using ppsspp core on lakka.



That's amazing indeed.

This probably won't happen until Vulkan gets implemented.
Hope this will happen someday

Lakka does not need Vulkan since linux-switch alreally has HW Acceleration, Vulkan drivers are more like to improve the Horizon port of RA.

Well Vulkan is going to be used as a default backend for more and more cores

Vulkan even on android devices is extremely important for enhancing speed on any emulator.

I saw a video on YouTube comparing between OpenGL and vulkan. See how is different.
See how vulkan is extremely important and makes games running in solid speed.


You'll gonna like this video.

Isn't Vulkan alreally being used as linux-switch has HW Acceleration?

Flashed the image with etcher, getting this each time. It just sits. I never got a blackscreen to show it was resizing the partition.

Reflashed 4 times, no difference.

Anyone have any ideas? Really eager to try this =/

There's HW acceleration via GL, Vulkan is compatible but hasn't been ported yet

Glad i can just SSH into my switch to copy stuff over. so much better than setting up my VM just so the ext4 partition could be opened and copied to.

Try to activate Samba on Lakka and use "\\YOUR-SWITCH-IP\" in your windows Explorer.
It's much more confortable than using SSH

 

[kevandkkim]

Is there any way currently to shut the screen off?

 

[Sonicbrawler]

tried netplay and it seems to shut down the control stick lol.

 

[natinusala]

Not yet

 

[kevandkkim]

Awesome thank you for all your work

First and foremost question:
What are the drawbacks and flaws this time around?

Still fucks your battery, can't play Switch games

 

[AtlasFontaine]

Pardon me if this is offtopic but, is it true that the Switch runs at stock tegra x1 speeds when using linux? (1.9 Ghz), I think I've read it somewhere that it was the case

@natinusala confirmed it iirc.

You can always Switch from Lakka to HorizonOS to play Switch games

Which requires a Jig and a PC or phone with USB-C cable.

Yeah, what is the problem then?

Yeah, what is the problem then?

The problem is that I don't want to run an exploit that needs several tools when switching between native and emulated games.
