Can you dual boot horizon and this?

 

[Tumoche]

You need the screen for the initial setup. If you have a switch with a working screen, or can borrow one for the setup, that should work and get you to the desktop. A usb keyboard will be handy for docked mode.

Sadly I dont have a working switch that I can do this with. I mean, the touchscreen works, if I know where things are I can blindly do it

Which version is this? 16.04 LTS?
EDIT: Oh it's 18.04, was confused

 

[hallo23]

Let's goooooo. Thanks @bylaws.

FYI Dolphin Ishiiruka works much better with Vulkan than stock Dolphin.

So do I only have to download the whole branch on github as zip and then compile it in Ubuntu or how does this work?

Yeah follow the instructions in the readme on github. You may have to manually install some dependencies.

I can try to get the initial setup done for you after work, but that won't be for another 7 hours.

Oh thank you. I suppose you will then make an image of the sd right?

 

[TR_mahmutpek]

Suddenly, Android!

Btw great job.

If we can't use the dock for setup, and USB OTG is buggy. How do we type in the fields to complete setup?

 

[Stwert]

Looks very interesting, I’ll have to give it a go and I’m certainly looking forward to the future developments of this.

Thank you for all of your hard work and time.

 

[bylaws]

I have a switch with a dead screen. Will this work or I need the screen to select something somewhere?
Edit: on the dock of course.

You should be fine with leaving it in the dock when starting setup, the reason i say not to do that is because it can mess with touch

So, does Kodi work using hardware acceleration?

Should do

Can you dual boot horizon and this?

Yup

If we can't use the dock for setup, and USB OTG is buggy. How do we type in the fields to complete setup?

There is an on screen keyboard, or you can put in dock but could be various issues with touch

But how do you access the on screen keyboard during setup?
