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.
