Still can't seem to get my usb stick to detect in linux though. Plug it in and...... nothing.

And just to confirm, yes, it's an original and works perfectly fine, not a clone.
This is the one I have https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB12Pme...B-128GB-256GB-usb3-0-mini-Pen.jpg_640x640.jpg

I'm not too great with Linux and terminal (only mild dabling), so if someone can or wants to make a little guide with commands to build the Vulkan build of Dolphin on our glorious little tablet, that would be a huge help to some of us!

Thanks for this great work, dead easy to setup and working very well so far.

The problem I have is the kernel is ultra stripped down to the point of lacking basic features (supporting my USB3 NIC and no nfs).

Which kernel sources should I be building from? Also what is the cross compile target?

What is your Twitter, I will dm a link for mine that I helped another person with.

Hello, I'm having a somewhat similar issue. My digitizer isn't working on my Switch so my touchscreen doesn't work at all. I am not able to get past where it wants me to accept the terms. any chance you will be able to help me out as well? My Twitter is @mftAR15

**EDIT** nvm, i fixed the issue by using a wireless mouse

Put the boot.dat and Hekate payload file on the root of your SD and chainload Hekate from the SX Boot Menu.

Would you mind explaining more about this process? I am a SX OS user too and completely lost.

Just go to github and pick up CTCaer/tx_custom_boot.py and use it to create a boot.dat with hekate inside. That's the easiest. I can't post links sorry, in the CTCaer/hekate repo issue #82 links to the python script.

Thank you very much for the prompt response. I'm still a bit confused. I could find the tx_custom_boot.py, downloaded it, but I still don't know what I am supposed to do with this file. Should I put it in some directory of Hecate?

It works with a 64gb micro sd?

Correct, extract the latest hekate bin in the same directory then change line 31 (stage2_fn = 'hekate_ctcaer_3.2.bin') of tx_custom_boot.py to the filename of hekate in the same directory. Then just run the tx_custom_boot.py and it will create a new boot.dat file. Put that in the FAT32 partition of the microsd card.

Yes anything larger than 16GB.

Someone managed to solve the black screen problem? I leaved my switch on that black screen for about 15 minutes and nothing.

Techjunky90 · Apr 29, 2019

Anyone installed kodi? I keep getting packages have unmet dependencies.

Wow, that cleared a lot. Thank you. Did everything you said, including realocating a bit of space in the microsd to send the boot.dat to the FAT32 partition. The only trouble I am facing now is how to run the python script. Sorry, I am a noob. Can you help me with this?

Hi to all this ubuntu make me register here

To the question yes you need to format your sdcard first recomending on linux and do this

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/"yoursdcard" bs=4M
then restore the image with this comand

dd if=/"path to the image" of=/dev/"yoursdcard" bs=4M

then use gparted to resize the ext4 partition to fir your sdcard size

put your cart to switch then make l4t autoboot shutdown from menu
power on switch and inject the peyload to boot hecate

that all this works 100% all the time

I installed it earlier. After you reboot, you'll have to change the front end you're using away from kodi, underneath the password bar, but it's still there, and it works.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also, to make sure you're on latest, terminal
Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get upgrade

I've tried installing it, always results in error. I've already tried the update and upgrade. Nothing works.

That's...... really strange. I'm afraid I can't help you. I'm not super versed in Linux usage.

I'm fairly certain some Class-10 64GB SanDisk MicroSDs are causing issues with this. I just went from one of those to a normal speed 16GB Samsung and it installed on the first go.

Someone else in the thread has mentioned this same SanDisk card having issues:

De4dm4sterBR said:
its a sandisk ultra 64gb, dont know what is going on. its possible to be compatibility issues?

I was struggling to get this card to boot and when it did it was extremely unstable.

tldr: If anyone's having issues with booting or instability, try using a different SD.

If you read this, I'm now your mother
