Homebrew WIP Lakka.tv first release for Nintendo Switch

[Billy Acuña]

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

Once the sleep mode is fixed on Atmosphere and FG dongles are up, you can simply AutoRCM'd your Switch and violá! Dual coldboot into Lakka and Atmosphere

 

[natinusala]

What ? You need tools to boot Lakka but you certainly don't need tools to boot back to Horizon

@natinusala confirmed it iirc.

Woah, I thought Nintendo did a hardware lock to keep the cores underclockd, that's nice, Then we can assume the switch has the same potential as the Shield TV at running things like dolphin right? at least when using a linux distro.

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

No it something different.

Yeah we all are excited about this.
We're so hyped about getting dolphin emu on switch
Hopefully we can also could port damon ps2 pro on switch or could install nvidia shield tv OS (android) on switch to could buy and play graphics games like resident evil 5, tomb raider, metal gear solid 5. Of course besides a lot of emulators which is already there.

Indeed it runs at 1.9GHz

Then wait for a few months/years and somebody might figure out a dualboot solution. This stage of the hacking scene is already impressive, give it some more time!

Did you feel any change on Nintendo switch fan? Is it running stronger or just normal?

1.9ghz and with 4GB of ram it's more than enough to run gamecube games and hopefully ps2 via damon.
I hope we can get this speed 1.9ghz on Nintendo switch os (horizon) to get the benefits in emulators.

Thanks for sharing this information to us.

i did an benchmark the switch runs at 1,9 ghz speed and its running just fine you would need to fix the gpu to 1ghz ofc

Did you mean you made an benchmark while you're using Linux? Or horizon?

The fan never turns on actually

No I mean here is the fan sound is becoming more stronger or just as normal.
Sorry if you get my question wrong.

linux

That's nice indeed.

So it works exactly like a shield TV when using linux huh, that's interesting

The fan sound can't become stronger if it doesn't turn ON

There's no fan sound if they never turn on.

we can save say if you keep your switch connected to your power supply you can run the switch without any heat issues like the Nvidia Shield , i was running the switch for 3 Hours at 1,9 Ghz no issues no shut downs etc gpu was at 768 mhz

Wow that's really impressive. We hope one day we can install nvidia shield tv os on switch.
Abou gpu I think there's a trick to make it up to 1ghz. I'm not sure.

[Billy Acuña]

Afaik LineageOS is being ported to the Switch.
