I Am Sure he might Releases the Sources Later Tonight

Hey that's me, I migrated my Twitter account from @launchmycraft to @natinusala

For now it can boot to XMB menu with full hardware acceleration (it supports the improved ribbon shader and text / icons shadows, it's beautiful). The main issue is that for now the screen can't be rotated so it's portait (it looks stupid).

Here's my TODO list before I make a PR to Lakka and release an image (Tl;DR : a playable state) :

• wired joy-cons support (courtesy of @shinyquagsire23)
• rotated display without xorg
• I can make a proper image to boot with Painless Linux without hacking around (for now I have to create partitions and copy files by hand)
• some RetroArch patches ("Reboot to RCM", remove "Shutdown", add GPU profile selection...)

Once this is done I'll release incremental patches to improve things as they come. I have more to do than what's on that list

This is cool!

Would anyone be able to inform me if this works on 5.0.x firmware please?

 

[Rune]

Didnt even stop to wonder if the joycons work with this. Would be pointless without it.

works on all firmware

 

[ploggy]

Doesn't Lakka have support for Hid controllers built in? It wouldn't get Joycons working but it could get other controllers like the Dualshock controller working?

This is the most important information here!

Dunno how others overlooked this. Gimme my PSX games with shaders and stuff.

It's just a linux-distro. So it works completely independent from your installed firmware.
