Using 90DNS. Atmosphere Hosts looks like this:

# Block Nintendo Servers
127.0.0.1 *nintendo.*
127.0.0.1 *nintendo-europe.com
127.0.0.1 *nintendoswitch.*
95.216.149.205 *conntest.nintendowifi.net
95.216.149.205 *ctest.cdn.nintendo.net

If you’re sure you have dns:mitm configured properly (double check file names and content here), you can change your DNS back to default in Settings as dns:mitm does much the same thing that 90DNS does. It appears your are not able to resolve tinfoil with your current DNS settings so putting them back might resolve this for you.

Just tried that and no luck. Any other ideas? I am willing to try whatever you suggest.

Go to your PC and open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and type the following commands

Code:

nslookup
tinfoil.media
server 8.8.8.
tinfoil.media

once done take a screenshot and post it here.

Like so (commands are circled in light blue)

Hopefully someone here can help me with booting lakka for the first time on my switch. Ive tried searching for answers and had no luck anywhere. If someone could please guide me in the right direction to fix this, id greatly appreciate this. So with that being said, heres the status and problem:

Problem: Lakka says "Failed to load boot device or script."

Current status of switch and storage device:
-storage device properly formatted to FAT32
-switch is jailbroken and blocking nintendo servers etc,
-retroarch is downloaded via hbmenu appstore and currently updated.

Im fairly new to this, and ive exhausted everything i could think of to fix this. My guess would be something in the config files or maybe i didnt install something properly. Thanks!

Looked into it a bit further, maybe .ini or uenv.txt might be the culprit for unsuccessful boot. here is the following uenv.txt parameters.

overlays=
lakka_boot_options=bt.disable_ertm=1
reboot_action=bootloader
hdmi_fbconsole=1
usblogging=console=ttyGS0,115200,8n1
uartb=no_console_suspend console=ttyS1,115200,8n1
cec_enable=1
performance_mode=0
dock_freq_switch_enabled=0

Lakka is self-contained. everything sits under /lakka so you don't need to wipe the drive to start over.

What does the contents of your /bootloader/ini/Lakka.ini look like?

Open iterm2. do the same commands...

That exact command you linked isn't working. When I type is nslookup tinfoil.media I get:

Non-authoritative answer:

Name: tinfoil.media

Address: 104.21.80.252

Name: tinfoil.media

Address: 172.67.136.91

I could try using the nslookup command before the other lines if you would like me to try that.

You type them one at a time like I did in the picture...

lakka.ini looks as such,

boot_prefixes=lakka/boot/
logopath=lakka/boot/splash.bmp
id=SWR-LAK

OK, that looks good.

What does your directory structure look like under sd:l/akka/ and sd:/lakka/boot/

sd:/lakka/ 1st pic and sd:/lakka/boot 2nd pic.

Interesting…yours has files my working version is missing.

Try Gavin’s latest nightly build:

New Lakka build for testing: https://nightly.builds.lakka.tv/mem....aarch64-4.4-devel-20230123090608-0ba0d18.tar
This build fixes a ton of things. Starting with lite gamepad issues on first boot, and some backend stuff..... This also re-implements lakka cpu speed menu, which will automatically scale clocks to OC, and is dvfsb compatible......
For what it is worth I can now play melee all the way through, with minimal issues, and that is with default settings, and vulkan...... clock scaling stuff is now handled automatically by retroarch, so if you dont want, you dont have to touch it.

Once you type:
nslookup

hit return
then type:
tinfoil.media

hit return
then type:
server 8.8.8.8

hit return
then type
tinfoil.media

hit return
take a screenshot and post it here.
after that, THEN you can exit the nslookup program,

No worries. So is your Switch and your Mac using the exact same name servers for DNS? Your Mac is having no issues resolving the correct IP so there’s nothing wrong with your network. It typically points to an internal IP adress of your router and the router forwards to upstream dns servers.

Switch is using 90dns. Other than that, everything is the same.

right, we will need to take 90DNS out of the picture completely and only use dns:mitm for protection. That way (we hope) your switch will get the same results as your Mac.
