Can anyone help me, my joy cons aren't working when im booted into lakka.tv, i launched into the normal switch os and they work on there just fine.

EDIT : Awkward, booted into normal os again, checked my controllers and realised they just have no battery left, charging now and hopefully should would.
Lakka doesn't charge the joycons I think.

I need some help if possible, I currently have a 8GB micro sdhc card that works and boots lakka fine.

I have just purchased a 200gb micro sdxc card from a retail shop but no matter what I try it wont boot lakka, ive formatted it numerous times to fat32, copied over the latest lakka update, I also transferred over the working version from my 8gb card.

I get nothing, the switch stays at a black screen, please dont ask me to charge it as it boots to lakka fine with the 8gb card.

Any suggestions, is the 200gb card not compatible, by the way its a sandisk ultra.

so the question becomes... why is a fake MAC address baked into Linux disros for Switch, and how do we fix it? Perhaps that's the wifi problem to begin with (not working without a reboot)?

@natinusala

EDIT: also... since EVERYONE is reporting the same MAC adress, how is this not causing all sorts of issues with netplay and the like?

I'm not sure if this is more appropriate for the Lakka or Linux discussion but the Mac address appears to be defined in brcmfmac4356-pcie.txt which for linux is at: /usr/lib/firmware/brcm/ there is some discussion here about other Broadcom chips defaulting to the same mac address: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/199389/broadcom-brcmfmac-bcm43143-mac-address-issues

hard to believe it's related, unless Ninty bakes in new MAC addresses to Horizon when it bakes in the serial numbers...

You didn't exit lakka correctly and it corrupted a config file. The lakka website faq tells you which file to delete to fix the problem.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
