hello guys, I installed unbuntu on my switch with the dolphin emulator but I have a problem, when I play on the dolphin emulator the x and y keys are bound on ubuntu and that does not allow me to use them in dolphin , one of the keys makes me like an alt+tab and the other like to leave a page.

Thank you for your help

Did you install using L4T MegaScript? I believe it takes care of key mapping for you.

yes i install with megascript ,

the problem comes from unbuntu where there is a basic mapping on the x and y keys, the y makes an application selector and the x is used to close a page. I looked in the shortcut options and I found all disabled but its two options are still there

HWFLY V4 Got it working with SDLoaderEnc.. I tried flashing the firmware but it says cannot communicate with hwfly something.
I tried booting ubuntu, it booted successfully. reboot or power off will get the message "Board was not initialized properly. Hang prevented." Every time enter ubuntu need to update sdloader.enc ,sdloader can’t save in the chip(It may be initialized every time the chip is turned on.)
hope someone can solve the problem that the sdloader cannot be saved , big thx!

this is my firmware (maybe HWFly mod)

The Switch Lite hardware is less powerful so I wouldn't recommend it.
