Homebrew WIP Lakka.tv first release for Nintendo Switch

[KeyZiro]

Could you add an option to change the screen brightness ?

 

[natinusala]

Certainly, I'll add it to my TODO list

Anything on the battery leak or is that related to a kernel issue as well?

 

[natinusala]

It's related to the kernel which doesn't properly initializes fuel gauge, see the shofel2 issue.

If you have a working copy of Lakka with games running too fast, could you try this and tell me if it works :

1. Audio > Disable audio
2. Audio > Disable audio sync
3. Drivers > Set audio driver to null

Then Quit RetroArch from the first tab and try your games again. Are the games running at the right speed now ? It did fix it for me.

Well if you try to use D3D11 on the Switch you'll have some surprises

how do you install this

 

[Zumoly]

I think this is a great project bound to be successful!
I can't stop thinking about adrenaline when seeing this.
I just hope there will be a big enough SD card to contain all the great things offered to the Switch.

so there noone willing to help me install this >>??

 

[natinusala]

To install what ?

go back a few pages, find one of the many linux threads, read the OP. stop being lazy. If you have trouble installing then maybe someone might be able to help, but you really gotta take the first steps yourself. the information is on this forum.

I did that it’s cool fuck it

 

[Kanakops]

probably a stupid question but can we launch lakka on 3ds? And what happen if we try to play games like ps1/psp ?
I don't think the 3ds can handle this but it's just curiosity

 

[natinusala]

Uuuuuuh no. The 3DS is way to low in perfs for that.

 

[Kanakops]

thanks it's just to be sure

 

[DeoNaught]

So I did some searching, and has the battery fix been compiled into Lakka yet?

 

[natinusala]

no

 

[vinnyboiler]

So Lakka can recognize both FAT32 and ext4 partitions but Switch Horizon OS only recognize the FAT32 partition.

If I set all paths for saves/roms/ect to the FAT32 partition could I theoretically resize the ext4 to a small portion of the SD card and use the FAT32 partition for normal use outside Lakka? If so could I also set the same paths on RetroArch libnx and other Switch homebrew emulators in order to share ROMs/Saves/Savestates?

 

[natinusala]

You can resize the partitions as you want, but you can't read the Lakka partition from RetroArch in Horizon.

 

[Vennetto]

Can I partition my MicroSD and use the other partition to boot Lakka?

For example:

Part 0: ExFat Normal Switch.
Part 1: Fat32 Lakka.

Would that work?

 

[natinusala]

You'll need to edit u-boot config so that it runs the script from partition 1 instead of 0

Cool, thank you.
