Hacking Question Lakka black screen!

[NWwind]

I followed the instructions on the Lakka website and after I launch Lakka, I got black screen on the switch. How to fix it?

I am going to hijack this thread, as this is always happening to me too, but only when booting through hekate.

If you both are running Lakka on an exFAT sd card, then it will not boot. I tested it myself this morning and had a black screen too. If that's not it, then I can't help, sorry ^^

i’m on fat32 and was having problems booting lakka through hekate as well. i had to retry the process like 4 times before it booted up

Then maybe I should try formatting my SD card to FAT32?

That will probably solve it, yeah.

Lakka's still a thing? Does it have sound yet? lol. RetroNX/Retroarch blew it out of the water months ago now that no separate SD card is needed and they boot from horizon. Oh and of course, sound works. My guess is that higher demanding emulators probably still perform better with Lakka.

OK now I reformatted my SD card to FAT32, and now Lakka is running. However I cannot control it with my Joy-con or volume and PWR. What's the problem? I can only control it with my hands.
I got this also,
"...proc\net\pnp No such file."
Something like this.

It has sound just annoying to set up

try deleting the config file sounds like the control driver (or another) mightn't be working right

You have to try using another sd (another brand), lakka is very picky about this... i have samsung evo plus 128gb and had no problems. I'm afraid its the only choice rn to change sd card. You can find more info about it on retro-nx discord - https://discord.gg/54Pj4h

Did you just retry without making changes?

if your sd is formatted as fat32 and it doesn't launch lakka, the only solution is to get another sd card for lakka..
