Hi Guys,

I hope someone can help me out. I downloaded the latest build of Lakka for the switch, followed the instructions, uses FAT32 file system (on two different SD CARDS) but still when I try to boot into Lakka I get black screen.
The Haketa is loading fine, I go to launch and select the Lakka configuration and black screen. Tried two different SD CARDs, reformatted them, tried rufus, fat32 format, whatnot, still black screen.

Anyone?

So I managed to get it to work 2 different ways but both in the end what made the difference seems to be the partition table type (note that I am on Ubuntu).

- The easiest but longest is to write the L4T Ubuntu image on your card, deleting the ext4 partition, extending the fat32 partition, deleting all files on the fat32 partition and then copying lakka the same way you would usually do (do not forget hekate).

OR

- Download GParted, delete all existing partitions on your sd card then create a msdos partition table type, then create a fat32 partition.

For some reason by just doing that it worked on all my sd cards where it was not working previously! Hopefully it will help someone else!

Yep create a msdos partition table then a fat32 partition that's how I got it to work, see my quoted post from the previous reply

anyone here got Marvel vs Capcom 2 60fps in reicast? Can't seem to get any higher than 50 fps in game. Capcom vs Snk 2 runs near full speeds though.

Is there no way to use lakka in docked mode at all with a wired controller, or is it really just fully hand held mode?

It's been covered over and over and it's in the FAQ which takes 1 minute to read. No you cannot use docked yet.

Checked the faq and did see that, but figured I'd ask cus I'm sure some clever clogs would have gotten it working with usb controllers. Thanks for the answer though!

If you set everything to MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE it can get a little toasty, but never uncomfortably so. My phone gets a good bit hotter while gaming or streaming 1440p video.

Confirmed that this worked for me after having boot problems. This should be added as a possible solution on the first page or on the Lakka Switch page.

nah i never go that high. the most i’ll do is the one before the unstable ones, but usually just boost speed.

What I'd like to see, personally, is a version of Lakka with bluetooth (and therefore wireless joy-cons) support. I know it's being actively worked on, but in the interem, it'd be nice to have the option between a version w/wired joy-cons (for those who use it), but broken bluetooth, and a version with working bluetooth, but no wired joy-cons. I almost never use the dock, but I almost always play with the joy-cons detached. Besides, if you really want the joy-cons plugged into the rails, connect via bluetooth, then slide the joy-cons in anyway. They'll still work via bluetooth.

I've spent 3 days (3-6 hours per day) setting up L4T specifically because I want bluetooth support, and I'm still not done yet. I had Lakka up and running within minutes (but no bluetooth

). Just saying, the choice would be nice.

FWIW I'm pretty sure you'd also have no sound, because that's all drivers that are tied in together... unless you are okay with BT audio.

In which case, you can use the previous Lakka build, which supported only wireless joycons

This is amazing news!! We have a truly gifted team of developers

, sleep was probably the biggest setback to Lakka

. Can I ask though(to anyone who may know) how S2idle compares to horizons sleep mode?
Will battery drainage be much different?
Can it be left in its sleep/suspended mode for days as done in Horizon?

Im most curious as I have never owned a device running linux OS(until now

)

Any info at all would be great.

masagrator · May 30, 2019

S2idle lasts around 3 days. So it's many times worse than HOS Sleep Mode.
