[jt_1258]

an actually usable version of linux, now you have my attention

 

[hallo23]

try using paragon, it works better

ok what do I do from here on?

I tried "Transfer Files" but it still only detects the 450MB Partion.

How do other people here transfer files? I'm so confused.

Boys,

there's no version of steam for ARM CPUs, though windows 10 ARM does have an x86 emulator which could possibly run steam

 

[Xolono]

Since there's a port of Minecraft on the PI3, would that also work here?

I can´t make to work any flashdrive I put in all the usb ports. Mouse and keyboard works but when I put any pendrive nothing happens

There's an emulator called Qemu which can run various OS

It is more likely to run Java Minecraft natively (replacing the LWJGL natives with arm64) or via Qemu.

 

[crow132]

do you think it would be possible to add a reboot to payload option like atmosphere does?

Yup

Probably a config option I missed, will look into it

Wow @bylaws this is simply amazing! keep up the great work and I cant wait to see where this progresses to.

 

[De4dm4sterBR]

@bylaws any news on my problem? Do you need some other info about my sd card?

 

[hallo23]

Use https://www.paragon-software.com/home/linuxfs-windows/

That one works!
Thank you so much =D

"Wired joycons do not work (connected to console)"

Does this mean I have to use my switch with the joycons detached? I wanted to use it in handheld mode .

Cheers.

Yup

 

[hexdump]

Yup

@bylaws Thansk for the quick answer. Is there any possibility that joycons could work wired in the near future? By the way, congratulation for the hard work. This is really promising!

Cheers.

 

[SomeGamer]

Touch screen stops working after a few minutes but hey, this is just the first build. Impressive work, thanks!

 

[ganons]

Yes instructions are in the OP.

Was you playing dolphin with stock speed?

 

[linuxares]

@bylaws is the mac-address for bluetooth and the wifi fixed or picked from the Switch?
