Wait what? The rail is working now completely without Bluetooth?
So no BT pairing before you slide them in?
That's a game changer imho!

The newest hekate version has some nice partitioning features added for this although I did not look into it in detail yet.
Now if only you could control the OS fully via those joycons.. and have a virtual keyboard or whatever. cuz connecting a real usb keyboard just to play emulated games. No.. it beats the purpose entirely of having a handheld experience with gamecube games.

Yeah wired non-Bluetooth Joycons are a feature of L4T Ubuntu 3.0.0. You can still (dis)connect via Bluetooth if you want.
You can use the Joycons as a mouse. Keyboard is really only needed for initial setup/tweaking. There is an on-screen keyboard but it's not really optimized for touch.

do I need a seperate SD card for switchroot or can I use the same one that my atmosphere is on since its a 256gb?
Latest hekate 5.2.1 supports partitioning setup for Android, Linux L4T and regular emummc partitions all on same SD so no need any longer to use a separate SD for anything.
I'd setup both so you have the option down the line of choosing what suits you best without needing to reformat your card.
I use Android for Dolphin and it's not too bad, not fantastic either.
L4T I haven't used much but is probably good for some other cores that don't run great in Retroarch on Horizon (Yabuse? Saturn perhaps?)
I've not really used either that much so I'm no authority to give a decent answer.

Awesome, yeah I suppose never hurts just to have everything for options just Incase so you don't have to wipe your SD card. I have a 256gb how much would you reccomend I partition for atmosphere, L4T and switch root?
A little late, but can you explain this? Tryin’ to run Mario Kart Tour on switchroot 10...Magisk installed...I only installed modules needed to bypass SafetyNet so I can play Ninty games (Mario Kart Tour and Super Mario Run) on the Switch.
You're lucky. I did this another time yesterday after flashing Android 10 so yeah:
1. In Magisk install the modules
Magisk Hide Props
and
Busybox (NDK or SDK, not sure how it's named)
Reboot after each install
2. Either Install a Terminal or use the stock one (enable it in dev options if it's not there)
3. Enter the command "props" and allow root access
4. Change device fingerprint (changed mine to Google Pixel C with 8.1.0)
5. Reboot
6. Hit props again in Terminal
7. Choose "simulate device ..." (was the second menu entry I think)
8. Make sure to enable it (leave all other options as they are) and reboot again
9. Don't trust Magisk's SafetyNet check. Install a SafetyNet Checker from Playstore.
10. If you're still not passing: Google for safetynet-fix and get the latest zip from github
11. Install it as a module from within Magisk
12. Reboot
That should do it.
Thanks for the procedure!
I did it all, safety check passed with a checker from playstore, but still an issue on Mario Kart Tour...Game start without problem (that already was the case before all your procedure) but freezes at the first tutorial ride...
By any chance, do you still have files on your SD card that have "Magisk" in their names?Thanks for the procedure!

Maybe the zip from flashing Magisk? Delete all those files.
Everytime I see this thread pop up I get a small glimmer of hope that it's about Mariko support. I've gotta stop doing that.
did u manage to get Mario Kart Tour working? / it still works for you?I only installed modules needed to bypass SafetyNet so I can play Ninty games (Mario Kart Tour and Super Mario Run) on the Switch.
I have tried to do everything for it to not crash on me with the help of this (I tried to the zygisk alternatives tho)

Haven't tested it for ages. Also the new Magisk version made hiding a bit more complicated I think. I'm sorry, but I guess you have to figure that out by yourself. I'd recommend asking over at XDA though.
