Getting a seperate SD card ready for Lakka i've been waiting for either sound to be fixed or battery issue and I look away for one second and bam, both are fixed. very excited

LOL same here.

Let's make this clear lol

NO

ONLY THROUGH BLUETOOTH ARE YOU ABLE TO GET SOUND.

BLUETOOTH HEADPHONE OR SPEAKER.

Clear as day on a hot summer afternoon.

Besides the smog of course lmfao

So technically, you're saying the sound fix is partial.

First of all, are you using the automatic installer using the image and Escher, or are you trying the manual method by creating the partitions?

Secondly, are you able to launch regular Hekate and Atmosphere with the regular CTCaer's payload?

You should also mention
- Your operating system you use to launch Fusee and its version / distro (android/linux)
- Your Switch's FW version
- How are you getting into RCM mode?

I've been using etcher, should I make the partitions myself?

My OS is windows 10
the switch is on 5.1.0
and booting through hekate autorcm corrupt
I'm also able to launch Hekate, Atmosphere, and SX OS (v1.2)

thx btw for the pointers

Yeah saw that but, it seem to be the unofficial complied version of it and contain few bugs, that make me afraid haha
Can't wait to have a proper version of Lakka with a payload injector dongle for gettin emulation everywhere !

those "bugs" will likely never disappear though, unless we can make linux write battery levels in such a way that the switch os agrees with it.

 

[Shaqattack101]

Yeah the current build is broken now, i'll fix it tomorrow

Hey, any news for the update regarding the discovery of you and ctcaer for the battery de-sync?

Installing Lakka on your Switch
Disclaimer : Neither the libretro team nor myself are responsible in case something happens to your console. This includes battery calibration desynchronization, LCD damage or even full brick. You have been warned.


Disclaimer : using Lakka on your console WILL cause battery calibration issues when coming back to Horizon.

Your console will shut down before reaching 0%, usually between 40% and 15%. You will be unable to charge it back to its true 100%, and it will continue to shut down prematurely.

There is no know software fix yet. The only know fix involves opening the console to unplug the battery connector.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THIS : BACK OFF NOW - DO NOT USE LAKKA - WAIT FOR A SOFTWARE FIX

New release : Lakka-Switch.aarch64-2.1-devel-20180702145547-r28266-gd7ab03d6b

What's new :

• Lakka doesn't break your battery anymore
  • You will need to run the fix in Hekate 3.0 first if your console was affected
  • Make sure to update your copy of the boot script as coreboot.rom was also affected
  • This also prevents Linux from shutting down early, just as Horizon did
