Ive checked it and its real.

Anyways Im having like a fisheye effect with the graphics....I made a clip of it with the Switch but its too big to upload here.

fov (field of view) is a setting in graphics options default is 74, getting more or less fisheye should be possible by changing that.

Can we use the command line thingy for cheats with this?

fgsfds · Jun 7, 2019

Yeah, you can type in the console if you figure out how to bring it up without a keyboard. Maybe you can change the console key or something.

Could we use a usb keyboard with the dock? (EDIT: Yes we can)

And Im also only getting music for the audio, no sound effects or anything else.

That's real fucking weird. What version of Morrowind and do you have any mods enabled?
Also just in case, check the volume.

Turned off Aiprlane mode
Held R are launched from HBmenu
Removed openmw ini from config folder

Still constantly crashes before or after reaching main menu (system needs to be rebooted message)
Using a sandisk card 128gb. 7gb free
Sx os

Maybe i need to turn of stealth mode sx os and try.

Airplane mode has nothing to do with this.
What have you launched while holding R? You had to run any game while holding R, that would have booted you into hbmenu with the additional memory available.

zniel0 · Jun 8, 2019

I held R clicked album to run hbmenu.
Then I simply clicked openmw...(i will now try while holding R and click openmw)
Unable to post my openmw.log here

No man, you have to click a game while holding R. Like, a real Switch game, if you have any installed.
That will presumably run hbmenu "in place" of that game, giving you access to more memory.

Why is there no way to do this automatically?

Another suggestion, is the file read stuff multithreaded?

@terrabyte25 In layman's terms, hbmenu usually is run by overriding the Album applet. Switch only gives quite a limited amount of memory to applets, because they smol, this in turn limits the amount of memory homebrew applications can use.
To overcome this and get the same kind of access as a regular Switch game does, you have two options: either install hbmenu as a "separate" title (see the NSP above) with appropriate "access flags", or override an application that has the access you need instead of the Album applet, e.g. an actual game. The first option carries the same ban risk as installing any other "unlicensed" NSP packages, which is why some people avoid it. I personally don't, because I don't care if my Switch gets banned, and just use the NSP.

As for the second question, I don't know. Haven't really looked there much.

Thanks now its working!. Gonna try using the Morowind graphics overhaul mod

spocksbrain · Jun 8, 2019

used a bunch of better bodies, better cloths mods, etc and they all worked fine. obviously there was framerate loss but still playable. great work so far!

Have you thought about this for a split second?

Why is there no way to launch HBL instead of a game, by default - when launching a game?

Why is there no way to launch album by default with full ram support (because album never requests full ram support).

Why is there not something that clearly exists? https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-menu-loader-legal-nsp.518433/ (Doesnt require you to press R, gives you full ram access)

The only reason people are hesitant to recommend the NSP from the previous link is, that Nintendo will ban people for installing .nsps you didnt buy on their store - so everyone pretends, that people buy games and use homebrew - and tells each other to use a game (they bough - for which N will not ban you) as your "donor" nsp.

As soon as people use pirated nsps, they also could use the homebrew menu loader from the link above. Same difference. And doesnt require you to hold R.

So everything is set up in a way that allows people not to screw up and ban themselves without thinking - which is also, why we give out the recommendation to use an "installed game" for full ram access. Donor .nsp (game f.e.) is needed to give full ram access to HBL, album never requested it in the first place.

HBL highjacks the app that you launch it through which is why its "stuck" with the ram amount that app/game requests. You have to press R while launching a donor app to indicate, that you dont want to launch the actual app. We have set it up so that you dont have to specify a specific game - which you would launch HBL with (and then would not _have_ to press R), because when this was the way stuff literally worked - no freaking millennial took the time to set up a donor game by figuring out its appid - and defining that in their 'cfw's settings. So holding R while launching game it is. Its even descriptive. Hold R, while launching a game. Album isnt a game. Games you have in the gamecard slot dont work. Has to be an installed game. Damn it - second sentence needed, queue people complaining about this being so complicated.

Those "but why cant I have easy" questions get really tiring - when you realize, that people are already making sure everyone can participate, without by default having their consoles banned by Nintendo for only using homebrew - and then people are still dumb enough to assume, that they only ever cant get more easy, because noone else has though about an issue the same low effort way they have.

Think about it - then stop complaining. "Use a game, hold R" is a strange phrase - we have people repeat - because its descriptive. Everybody should know whats meant by that. Atmosphere even changed a default for this to be a thing midway through the scenes lifetime. Which is the only reason people still try to launch album. Not reading (album is not a game), and making presumptions, that are clearly false - but familiar to them. Because changing a default - is something that they have immense problems with. Then they start asking around why someone can't change default to make it more easy.

Sometimes you just have to acknowledge, that the world is full of also not quite so bright people.

For people wanting to share videos - another mention of mp4box (part of GPAC) - https://gpac.wp.imt.fr/mp4box/

Its an open source command line tool, that simply splices all mp4 video clips you define into one in seconds without rerendering the video.

On the switch, use a game that supports video capture to launch HBL or the HBL launcher (.nsp) linked above - and you can capture video footage, by long pressing the capture button (captures 30 seconds max, but repeat captures are possible).

Once you've loaded over the videos from /Nintendo/Album/ onto a folder on your PC, you can simply use -

mp4box -add 1.mp4 -cat 2.mp4 -cat 3.mp4 -cat 4.mp4 -cat 5.mp4 -cat 6.mp4 -cat 7.mp4 -cat 8.mp4 -cat 9.mp4 -cat 10.mp4 -cat 11.mp4 -cat 12.mp4 -cat 13.mp4 -cat 14.mp4 -cat 15.mp4 -cat 16.mp4 -cat 17.mp4 -cat 18.mp4 -cat 19.mp4 -cat 20.mp4 -cat 21.mp4 -cat 22.mp4 -cat 23.mp4 -cat 24.mp4 -cat 25.mp4 -cat 26.mp4 -cat 27.mp4 -cat 28.mp4 -cat 29.mp4 -cat 30.mp4 -cat 31.mp4 -cat 32.mp4 -cat 33.mp4 -cat 34.mp4 -cat 35.mp4 -cat 36.mp4 -cat 37.mp4 -cat 38.mp4 -cat 39.mp4 -cat 40.mp4 -cat 41.mp4 -cat 42.mp4 -cat 43.mp4 -cat 44.mp4 -cat 45.mp4 -cat 46.mp4 output.mp4

while in a command line/terminal/shell in that folder to - in his case - combine 46 clips captured on the switch into one video. This takes maybe 5 seconds.

(To name all your videos sequentially simply use a mass renamer tool (I use one that comes with forklift on mac, on windows you could use total commander - or any mass renamer really.

)

Result in this case was a 15 min video I uploaded to youtube - and presto.

Thats it.

You dont have to deal with video editing software (I use one once in a while - when I actually want to edit stuff) - this stuff takes seconds, and you can also edit clips with it - which I'm also doing all the time (no on the 30 sec switchcaptures though - usually).

mp4box -xsplit 0:30 input.mp4

will produce a new clip of an existing video starting at the 0 second mark until the 30 second mark. Works with thousands of seconds as well - honors keyframes - thats the way I clip stuff from web or youtube videos these days - because its so fast.

In Morrowind you will want to capture video footage eventually - so think about making use of this.

edit: google for 7min 35 in sec will convert that into seconds btw, which is why its so fast.

im new to this it seems run really good, but how to name my character?

notimp · Jun 8, 2019

Press minus (select on normal controllers). A keyboard will pop up. This is context sensitive. Select does different stuff, when no text entry form is on screen.

Nice, I'll be sure to give this a try!
