Did anybody tried Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD? If so, how does they run?

I don't think I have enough posts to PM yet but I'm still having trouble with L4T even with the update. I seem to have the same issue where the screen either stays black no backlight, stays black with backlight or just crashes after doing one of the two.

The partition isn't hidden. It's a EXT4 partition and you need drivers to read and write to it if you're using Windows. As already mentioned you can use Paragon's EXT4 driver or you could just use a Live CD distro of Ubuntu Linux instead of using Windows to manage the EXT4 partition.

And I'm sure this highly confrontational post sounded nice in yours, as well.

To be clear, I'm not underestimating the effort that went into this, and in fact I do think it's good for the majority of users. I just don't see L4T as being sustainable long-term. Vendor kernels all tend to eventually bitrot and become subject to CVE after CVE.

Long term solution? Does that even exist in console homebrew scenes that last, what, 4-6 years? I don't see many normal homebrew from the 3DS scene being actively maintained. I suppose if you wanted something with better LTS support you could take all your CFW and kernel compiling knowledge and make, what you would call, a better distro?

Nvidia don't provide vdpau, you need to use openmax (kodi and anything gstreamer based)
What is your ethernet adapter, I enabled lots in 1.1

Please add this one

Edimax usb2.0 10/100
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0b95:772b ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88772B

this one is cheap and works evrywhere
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0fe6:9700 Kontron (Industrial Computer Source / ICS Advent) DM9601 Fast Ethernet Adapter

Tplink usb3.0 10/100/1000
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 2357:0601

On nvidia site https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/buy/jetson-nano-devkit is 99 usd and

Video Decode 4K @ 60 | 2x 4K @ 30 | 8x 1080p @ 30 | 18x 720p @ 30 (H.264/H.265)

I think in Nvidia ubuntu image must have this videodecode lib how they will provide H.265 decode ? So we must check this

Grate work to your team i use my Nintendo all day with ubuntu and is fantastic only this small issues i want to be fixed and if you can write guide how we can compile our own kernels will be fantastic !

Is there any way to fix RTC shifting in Horizon OS? My Switch now shows a 2035 date even after an Internet time resync

You need to manually set the date and time back to what it's supposed to be. Seems internet sync doesn't do it properly.

Is there any way to get or configure mpv to use the gstreamer backend? I don't really like Kodi that much. Other than kodi, what other video players use gstreamer (if there is no way to get mpv to use it that is)?

Black screen problem fix!

For this one of you who has problem with the black screen i found this problem in some reason when you reboot your Nintendo sometimes maybe memory is not been clean properly so try to hold power button for 7-8 sec then power up then hold again for 7-8 sec in this way all is been reset and black screen problem is gone to me is happens sometimes when i restart.

anyone tried 3ds emulator with this?

gonna look for 16GB microsd for this, then i'll no longer need to bring my windows tablet to work. switch + dock will be enough hahaha

just resized partitions using gparted and its working like a charm, dual boot baby

View attachment 165353

how do we do that?

split to two partitions (supposedly any partition manager can do it)
copy the image to second partition (but the info on page 1 says "first" partition right?)
put the hekate config... into first (FAT32) or second (EXT3/4) partition?

just write the ubuntu image on your sd card and then move and resize partitions from gparted

Anyone else know how to launch Ishiiruka. I'm basically a technophobe when it comes to using Linux.

Is there any way to "do right click" using touch? Long press doesn't work.

Hmm, I'll contact you with some builds to test in a few days
What modules do you want
To compile, setup kernel tree as in the manifest on nv-tegra then add/replace some repos with the ones on switch root. Build as normal

Thanks @bylaws, I'll give it a try again today. Which manifest do you mean, the nv-tegra link you've shared is just all their git repos? Do I need all of them?

I need only a few, first the kernel really should have support for NFS Client Support (version 3 & 4).
Also list most people that have mentioned it none of my USB3 ethernet adapters work, for mine I need ax88179_178a (CONFIG_USB_NET_AX88179_178A).

Can we dual boot kali linux with this?

crow132 · Apr 30, 2019

how does gpu frequency works when using ubuntu?

cots · Apr 30, 2019

So I got Dolphin up and running. Performance isn't that great, but I guess it's a start.

Hmmm .... now to figure out how to encrypt the ext4 partition / linux file system after having it already installed. I imagine a headache is awaiting me.

Yes, this worked for me. I also do not have the time sync issue anymore after upgrading to the latest version. Horizon's time doesn't get set to far in the future anymore and both Linux and the date/time in Horizon is correct.
