Hi, i just updated my ofw to 15.0.1 through the official method, after that, my switch lite won't boot into hekate, instead, it boots straight into ofw. everything on my sd card is still there, didn't lose anything, it just won't boot to hekate anymore. I have a switch lite with a hwfly chip, I can see through the sd slot that the chip is lighting purple. I tried updating atmosphere to the latest and hekate to the latest, but still won't boot hekate straight into OFW, Please help :(

Sorry but I'm experiencing the same issue after updating OFW; the switch boots straight without going to Hekate. The chip flashes purple then green when it starts to boot. Not sure how I can proceed from here, and would appreciate any help...

Thanks but the situation is slightly different for me - I can see that the modchip blinks purple then goes to green when it boots to OFW... (Instead of being solid purple as mentioned above). Would you have a solution?

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
