I docked my Switch last night after playing Smash and went to bed. Woke up and it was powered off. So I tried to boot into normal OS to maybe see if there was an update and it wouldn't start up. The Nintendo logo showed up but not the Switch logo. So I tried again and the same thing. Booted into RCM and injected hekate and that worked fine but when I tried booting into CFW again the same thing. I just wanted to get back into Smash and unlock the last few characters I needed.

Did you have themes installed?
If I remember correctly, that can cause something like that, if they malfunction/if you update...

I did have a theme installed. Is there a way to remove it if I insert my micro SD Card on my PC?

Reviving this old thread because I forgot about it and only just tried again to restore my Switch but I've deleted the titles folders from the atmosphere folder and even tried installing cfw again from scratch with no success. Booting it up with no SD card yields the same result of Nintendo logo then shutting off. If anyone has any ideas of what to do I'd greatly appreciate it

Do you have a nand backup? Might be the only way to restore that and then start anew...

I do but I don't know how to restore it. Tried using hekate or whatever the bootloader is called but it seems like it's only trying to restore it to the emunand

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
