Homebrew WIP Lakka.tv first release for Nintendo Switch

[Mnecraft368]

is it fixable?

Yes, you can either unplug the battery and hold power button for 10-30 seconds then plug back in or power cycle it (charge to 100%, drain to as low as possible and repeat) <--- Do multiple times | Nintendo's Method

Guys, what is Lakka? Why is it so important? HW acceleration...?

Google it or do you want a lmgtfy link?

Its a Linux-Based retro games player.

Looks pretty nice, but I think I'll personally hold out untill a native form of RetroArch comes to the Switch instead.

For all of you that dont want to use google, such as @Phenj among MANY OTHERS... which is a little sad in 2018.

Lakka is basically a linux distro with RetroAarch in mind, basically it just boot directly into retroarch.

This release also include the common bugs found on any other distro, starting with battery decalibrate.

I dont know what your problem is but omg this can play NDS games? Im guessing like 1fps if no hardware acceleration.

Interesting. This scene is moving fast

I'll make a proper thread once it's usable for general use. I released an image so that you can help me find the correct configuration for the video settings, and more especially for the games speed : do you feel like the games run too fast ?

Not yet, I've yet to make desmume work

Not too fast, unfortunately from what I've seen it seems the linux battery bug still effects us even with this release, shame, but oh well still a pretty cool release.

I ment in general. But its still a real nice thing to know about. I wish I could contribute to things like this. But sadly I’m just a spectator

 

[Hondyn]

Lots of people have complained about battery problem for using linux. I wont try this.

 

[Sonicbrawler]

will be trying this out for sure!

 

[gamesquest1]

I'm not really playing with any Linux stuff until sound and battery issues are resolved, but I have always liked lakka on the raspberry pi, so once those are resolved this will probably be kept installed on my switch and the raspberry pi can be retired from retro games

 

[natinusala]

By the way, SciresM may have a software fix for the battery calibration issue, stay tuned !

Also, Shiny Quagsire might work on sound if nobody else does:

 

[natinusala]

They are working on upstreaming the Nintendo Switch port to the upcoming 4.17 release of Linux. From what I saw, they have sound and USB working, however I might be wrong.

 

[eldavo2090]

Never heard of lakka before, looked into it and it's pretty good!
Would be great to have that on the Switch!

I was just searching for a simple answer i didn't manage to find on Google, you are the sad person here.
Next time, be less frustrated.

Or maybe when releasing something, you should define what it is? I don't know. Kinda hard to assume it's another OS when it's got a ".tv" attached to it. Let's not be a prick for nothing, yeah?
