I searched the Web...but can't get the Mouse pointer to work?

I think you can use the L4T-Megascript which should already be installed (https://github.com/cobalt2727/L4T-Megascript/wiki/Initial-Setup) or follow some other posts in this thread like this one: https://gbatemp.net/threads/l4t-ubu...x-on-your-switch.537301/page-113#post-8966847

Hey guys
Been having some fun with this and its working well, but I was wondering, I have been trying to make "show onboard" into a shortcut so I can click Y for example which will bring up the keyboard but I can't get it to work. Been googling a bit and have found the "custom keybinding" function but the commands I've tried have not been successful ("Onboard", "onboard" and "Show Onboard")
Anyone got some info on this?

Thanks for the cool work OP

Hi guys, I have installed Box64 but WINE still not working on l4t. It seems like WINE requires 32bit libraries to run, and I'm still figuring out how to get Box86 or chroot to be installed on l4t. Anyone managed to get around with it?

Box64 only works with 64-bit libraries/applications and will only work with WINE64 (which only runs 64-bit Windows applications). This might change in the future due to WINE 7.0 working towards getting 32-bit applications working on 64-bit WINE without 32-bit libraries, but that's a while off yet. Box86 + Debian chroot + Xephyr is 100% needed for 32-bit libraries/applications at the moment. I've been using both on my Switch for a while and it's...okay. Xephyr makes mouse support kinda wonky in games, but everything mostly works okay for lower-end gaming.

Hi

Box64 only works with 64-bit libraries/applications and will only work with WINE64 (which only runs 64-bit Windows applications). This might change in the future due to WINE 7.0 working towards getting 32-bit applications working on 64-bit WINE without 32-bit libraries, but that's a while off yet.

Hi, thanks for the response. Actually the reason i wanted to use Wine is to install PKHEX.exe to edit the save file directly on my triple boot switch. And i think PKHEX is 64bit, so i guess i do not need the 32bit libraries? By the way i have installed WINE64 too, but for some reason, whenever im trying to open WINE, i got the 'it looks like wine32 is missing' error? Do I need Wine32 to run Wine64?

Does PCSX2 work on this thing? Would really like to play some PS2 games.

I've been trying to use Barrier (https://github.com/debauchee/barrier), but it never starts, has anyone tried it before?

Hi, have anyone tried PlayStation Plus for PC before? It's a cloud streaming for PS games that doesn't need high end hardware to run. Wondering will WINE able to run this

It's unreasonably bad. Input lag, image quality, getting it to work with a controller, not worth it.

Xbox streaming is much better (tried it on PC and was pleasantly surprised), however, on switchroot Android it was not perfect either, though. But it's in beta, maybe it'll get better.
