I'm currently having trouble on switch v3.0. SD Files are extracted to root of sd card and am able to inject payload but when I boot into cfw it hangs at black screen. I don't have XC update installed so maybe that is the issue? Any help would be appreciated

A .zip file (or any other method) would be possible in order to add usb loading through the usb cable, instead FTP or shutdown the switch to use the micro SD?

Can I delete the ReiNX folder if I don't use it?
IIRC, Hekate use Atmosphere, right?

Also, what is the fusee-secondary.bin file at the root?
Can I delete it?

If you aren't using ReiNX you can delete the ReiNX folder

fusee secondary is part of Atmospheres bootloader, you can delete it if you want to because your using hekate as your bootloader

Hey, I'm trying to run Version 8.1 of the SD card on my nintendo switch running 4.1 firmware for the first time.

I was able to do a complete backup onto my SD card, but when I try to launch a CFW, I get "could not find or open hekate_ipl.ini"

I couldn't find a .bin on the SD so I use the one from version 4.0 on the hekake release.

HELP!

Did you download the latest release of your favorite CFW, extract the folders, and put it on your SD card? If you did, under bootloaders should be a file named hekate_ipl.ini

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but the hekate_ipl.ini file exists, and since I downloaded the full version it has all the CFW's already in it no? I see directories for ReiNX, ...

What computer operating system are you using?

I prepared the SD card in a Windows VM running my boot camp partition - I tried with a 16GB and 128GB SD cards formatted as FAT32.

UPDATE: User error! It seems that while copying directories the boatloader directory got overwritten on one of the cards, recreating worked! Thanks again!

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    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

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    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

    @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)

    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.
