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?

As sad a few posts ago, I havn't yet the chance to test it myself with the new hekate boot.

Now that you don't need an engineer diploma from NASA to launch it, hopefully the future of Lakka is bright.

Very very promising stuff, keep it up with the good work!

You can't. And if you decide to go the ExFAT way, good luck with everything. ExFAT is not homebrew friendly and one day, you will pay the price for it (happened to me, now I have 3 SD cards, one ExFAT for Switch stuff, one Fat32 for pFBA, pSNES and retroNX and another Fat32 for Lakka related experiments :) )

yeh, I have 2 Sd cards also, but I saw some people in games compatibility page here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...tM3nJdtjaNpd-ERGEVIZVt3_dE/edit#gid=458124413) played wii games! I wonder how? maybe another form with smaller size??

Any news about sleepmode progress ?

Or maybe implement a hybernate mode, which you can trigger from the main menu ?
It could save the current RAM on the SD card for example ...

During hibernate the system is fully powered off, and system state is saved to disk. The system does not require power, and can stay in hibernate mode indefinitely. Most modern systems require 15 to 45 seconds to enter and leave hibernate, and entering and leaving hibernate takes longer when you have more memory.

This is so mucho mucho importante !!! :D
Without sleep/hybernate we can't use Lakka on travels / way to work / train / insert mobile activity here ... and that is so sad :((
I mean I can't just let the switch turned on the whole time, when its in its case :P
But mobile booting it would require an Android phone... and thats not rly an option for me :/
(I mean when it could boot from a dongle like SX or ChinaSX this would be something different... but yeah .. it can't :P)

Does anyone know if I can partition a 256GB card to be part exfat and part fat32 to use this and my switch files all on one card? No I won’t format to pure fat 32, I install large sized nsp files that are over 4GB.

Just a matter of time hopefully, current progress is already very impressive. Let's just be more patient :)

This is why you need 2 switch, one with ExFAT for NSP and one with Fat32 for homebrew.

You won't have any benefit from it.
Your Payloads will always look for the first(!) partition.
So you can either boot lakka or ReiNX

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.
What have people with this "sacrifice audio ic".
Thats all bullshit. If the IC gets fried a developer did a MASSIVE fuck up.
