That sounds very much like you're running with insufficient memory, which is likely to happen if you run in applet (album) mode. If you are 100% sure that you're running in regular app mode or from NSP hbmenu, post logs from the /switch/gzdoom folder.
You mean holding R over an app and not the album? I am absolutely doing that. The log just says failed to allocate memory. I wonder if this is an issue with rei.nx or something.

For most Homebrew, you need to have a Switch Game Card inserted, or have a Game/Demo Installed. Then, when the Home Screen, Highlight the Game/Card/Demo, Hold R and Open it. If it comes up with the Select User Profile, keep holding R and Select the User Profile needed. Keep holding R until you reach the Homebrew Menu/Loader, then it is no longer needed.

If you want to be sure, you can try NSP hbmenu if you don't mind installing it.

I got something to change by not holding r at all until the profile selector comes up. If I hold r at all before the profile selector, I just go straight into the menu. Freedoom 1 works now, but doom 2 still crashes on starting a new game. Its less unstable now.

Works on my machine. What settings are you modifying and what controller are you selecting in the menu when doing so? It should show 8 "switch controllers", you should select the top one.
Also, make sure to exit the game via the Exit button in the menu, that ensures that the settings get saved.

When i launch doom original it just sits at black screen no matter what mode i m in any ideas?
Do other wads launch faster for you? I'm told that If you aren't overclocking, it may take a while to boot. Even when launched from an app like your supposed to, it still seems to take a minute in my experience. Just wait for it, and if it doesn't launch within, say, 2 minutes, there may be something wrong.

Hey @fgsfds, just as a heads up, Switch update 9.0 updates the HID stuff on the Switch, so the upcoming releases of Atmosphere will require all homebrew to use a new libnx version which will be needed for all subsequent homebrew to work properly, since without it, any <9.0 compiled homebrew won't recognize button inputs. Updating all of your repos with the new libnx and re-compiling them with it should do it (GzDoom, the Quakes, Doom 3, etc).
Here's m4xw's tweet for more info:

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep

    i said i was sleeping...

    sleeping with uremum

    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • 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)
