Homebrew RELEASE Lakka.tv - turn your Switch into a RetroArch powered retrogaming console - includes PSX, N64 and PSP

[AfkKun]

When trying to launch the Lakka config it loads a few things and then puts me into Horizon.
re-formatted the SD-Card multiple times.
I already used this card with Lakka before, but somehow it doesn't want to work.

This flashes up for a second and then switches to Horizon
(sorry for potato-quality camera couldn't focus that fast)

Use Hekate 4.0.

Use Hekate 4.0.

I use the newest 4.0 Release: 6da09b3

You are doing something wrong then. Do you have 00-Lakka.ini in bootloader/ini ?

Yes, also checked the checksums of the files and everything was ok.
SD Formatted to Fat32 and also ran a check if the card loses some data.

Hekate is booting HOS so there is an issue with that, it should not even try

Does loading lakka via hekate support ext4 formatted SD cards? I'd feel more safe with running linux from a journaled filesystem.

Ive just recently loaded up Lakka on my switch, but it had really bad preformance, even in n64. Are there any settings I should tweak to get better proformance? And is overclocking especially dangerous? I don't know if the fans work while in Lakka.

For PSX and n64, you need to overclock the CPU.

No.

If you have used a fat32 formatted SD Card it could work in parallel, the lakka installation is only a folder on the SD Card. I have used exFat for my sx os since I prefer my XCI files are not splitted, so I would use a second SD for lakka (if there wasn't the stupid boot to black screen issue)

how can i install lakka on a second sd card should i only put the files in a second sd card and start the switch -_-

Yes extract and copy the data as described here:
https://lakka-switch.github.io/documentation/installation.html

and start your switch with JIG in RCM Mode to run hekate 4.0 payload.

I havn't tried it since the latest release, but my sd card is already prepared and ready to test

I think it is written down in step 2

[hallo42]

sry i am too stupid to understand step 2 my english is not the best

and sry for asking again to copy the files on sd card is not enough to start it or should i download rcm smash and have to boot through there

 

[0xCCD]

You have to use rcm smash or recado or any other app to send the payload

 

[ShadyGame]

Will a update come out anytime soon? @natinusala

 

[LightOffPro]

Love that it launches with Hekate now.

Will definitely try this out once internal speakers/3.5mm jack port start working. Sound is crucial here and enabling it should be priority!

i did everything like you said after trying to get in there is a error : could not open /bootloader/hekate_ipi.ini

i only put the both files bootloader and lakka to the sd card is that not enough?

one day someone will donate that extra switch to sacrifice the audio IC for working sound and when that person does, they will go down in history.
