I am running them from within hb menu 3.3 which is installed as nsp. 10.0.2 firmware

Current issues.

- Quake 1 and 2 goes to main menu and I hear sound but can't control anything - I have put
- Quake 3 goes to main menu asks for cd-key and can't seem to put a key in cuz no keyboard/input
- Eduke32 /Duke nukem 3D flashses screen and goes back to homebrew nothing happens - I've put the files in switch directory
- Mystery of Solarus.. The screen is cut off and I can't entirely see the game like 25% is cut off

Do you guys have any tips on these homebrew?

Were any of these working before? Eduke32 was updated 15 days ago if you didn't update yet.
Have you tried launching hb menu with the r+game instead of thru the nsp version?

I'm on 10.0.0 and have no issues with Duke, either it doesn't work with 10.0.2 or your install isn't set up right. The folder "eduke32" is in your switch folder and all the files are in that?

I'll try installing quake and see if it works fine, are you using the Quakespazm version? I see someone else is having your same issue with NXquake. Love the games but have been playing it in VR so didn't bother to install on switch yet. ;) Now I have a reason to.

No clue on Solarus, haven't tried it yet.

EDIT: Quakespazm works fine so far on 10.0.0. What CFW are you on? I haven't updated Atomsphere from 0.11.1 yet

Just tested everything myself (except Mystery of Solarus) on 10.0.2 atmos, everything works as it did before. Read the installation guides and try again, you are doing something wrong. And yeah, for Q1 you should better use Quakespasm.

I have q1,q2,q3 in sd card root.
ioquake3, nxquake2 in root/switch
Installed the nsp's via tinfoil
I didn't do anything wrong I think?

https://f4ke.de/dev/switch/ MysteryOfSolarusDX-GLES.zip solarus-engine-switch-beta-3.zip
MysteryOfSolarusDX folder in sd card root/switch + solarus.nro in root/switch
eduke32 in sd card root/switch

Also Retro Arch I can't do anything aswell. Controls are not working.
But when launched via homemenu it does work.

Something seems wrong with controlls with installed homebrew..
Installed Retroarchu will say 1.75 And HBmenu retroArch 1.8.6
Tried to re-install the nsp doesn't seem to help

This everything was tried on latest SX OS
Then I tried on latest atmosphere and the result was even worse (hardly ever use atmosphere)
Quake 1 was the same
Quake 2-3 didn't boot - crashed atmosphere

In fact even Homebrew menu seems to crash :S so couldn't test.
Eduke32
Myster of Solarus

This is the error I get when trying to open homebrew menu via installed app or via album. (yes I have latest nsp/nro of this)
A black screen saying a fatal error occured when running atmosphere.

Dude, first of all use title redirection, not homebrew NSP (you can use forwarders, but that's on your risk, tho for me all seem to work fine).

Secondly, DO fresh latest atmos install with patches since EVERYTHING is broken for you for some reason... For RA, get the latest stable release from buildbot and launch it only via TITLE REDIRECTION, forger about nsp homebrews, they are not supported.

And third, i'm not gonna type here all the installation guides for quakes, eduke, half-life and all other ports... If you can read, you can easily set everything up since there's every little detail in a guide for a certain port. I followed them myself and got everything working first try (i have half-life, eduke, q1 quakespasm, q2, q3 and some others, all work like a charm on latest atmos).

And finally, if you have problems launching specific homebrew port, there's a thread for each one of them, so go and post your problem to corresponding thread (you can use search for it).

Fixed the problems on discord with @bad361

- Problem was I was using wrong files for quake. And quake's latest github has a problem with latest firmware/cfw which makes the controllers not work. Got updated files in thread works dandy now.
- Zelda Solaris seems not up to date to my knowledge the thread seems not alive with other users also having trouble.
- Eduke32 forgot to put files in the folder along side the nro. Which made it not load anything.
But now that i have put everything there. it takes 20 minute to load a level (not joking) with the highres texture installed, have yet to move it out and see if it behaves better.

Also fixed half life installs for homebrew.

So if I can get eduke32 and zelda solaris to work im 100% done with homebrew.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
