Homebrew RELEASE Lakka.tv - turn your Switch into a RetroArch powered retrogaming console - includes PSX, N64 and PSP

Homebrew isn't all about pirating you know that right? If you desperately want to get access to the eshop then update.

oh I know that better then most, I have modded and pirated a ton of shit in the past but I just want more developers to be drawn to the switch for better sales numbers so we get more games for it.

 

[Centergaming]

Theres a method for downgrading up, but idk if upgrading and downgrading can lead to a ban

You mean upgrading? Yeah, Nintendo could possibly detect the firmware versions that you're on.

 

[Deathbot64]

ya I wouldnt go back down. If most homebrew works on 5.1.0 then I would just buy the games I really want.

So what I get from this is ALLWAYS HAVE THE SWITCH CHARGING.

So if the switch is as I said ALLWAYS DOCKED for example will the battery issue ever be a problem.

@natinusala have you EVER had to remove the battery being docked at all times?

Being docked at ALL TIMES does it prevent a battery sync issue?

Be patient. @natinusala is coming up with a software fix. Please be patient, I have to say this many times to many people. If you don't want the battery sync issue, do not use Lakka as stated on the website, wait for a fix.

I am being patient and well informed.

I just wanted clarification on how he uses it with the battery state.

If theres a software fix good I'm happy and PATIENT as you put it. In no way did I come across as impatient by asking a few specific questions.

I'm not other people as you refer it. I'm more patient then most.

If he does have a software fix which I'm sure would be possible.

The battery has a capacity. Read the battery charge and send a specific command to tell the software where the battery is in relation to its physical charge.

Sounds simple BUT obv it would need implemented.

I'm guessing unless someone comes up with a way to report correctly the battery percentage where horizon stores the values from Linux there is no other way!?
Or unless we get a homebrew capable of recalibrating battery readings from the horizon OS end.

Just tested Danganronpa 1, it seems to run perfectly except that it runs a bit too fast.
Gonna test Danganronpa 2 in a bit.

Edit: Some areas have graphical errors where the model wont load.

Edit 2: Danganronpa 2 seems to run fine.

Yes, it still desyncs.

As for the sleep mode, it's going to be harder than on Horizon. We'll see.

if it's possible i'll attempt it later but would it be possible to have an always running shell script which waits until theres been no input for about a 3 minutes and if there isn't any it will turn off the display and switch the cpu to the lowest underclock setting so it's not exactly sleep mode but sort of is and then it will wait for input and reverse those changes

 

[SimonMKWii]

Pointless while this is Linux crap. Wait for a proper Switch version.

Umm, what?
I only recommend using the Linux-based emulators, as it runs in an isolated environment and is therefore much safer.

That and using Linux will never be blocked since it is a hardware entry point

LAKKA SURE IS GREAT ON THE SWITCH GUYS!!!

 

[natinusala]

About the sleep mode. We can make a workaround by reacting to the power button : turn off display, savestate, stop RetroArch and underclock everything. When pressing back, it starts RetroArch back with the appropriate core and content before reloading the savestate. I already did a similar system to add a sleep mode to a Raspberry Pi powered Lakka box, it's not hard.

However I don't know how to react to the power button or turn off the display, it must be added in the kernel.

Well staying on topic. That would be an interesting idea. How hard would it be to get it working on the kernel level?

Does this still not have sound and murder your battery?

No sound and it can still murder...

 

[CybergamingHD]

Lakka sucks rn, not worth it.

 

[ShadyGame]

Sound is in progress I think

 

[Deathbot64]

@natinusala how's the progress on sound going
