Thanks!, is it possible to use either sx os and lakka on the same console, not at the same time of course but maybe by turns? Like using a microSD for lakka which can be removed in order to start again or boot with SX OS?? It would be great to be able to take the most out of both “systems”.

And Super Smash Bros Melee (which crashed quickly):
Here's the last for today:
Pokemon Black running on both DeSmuME versions:

Yes it's entirely possible. the way I currently do it(though no SX OS) is that I have two separate microSD cards(don't want to deal with fat32 on my main sd card) and whenever you want to run lakka, turn off your switch, pop the lakka SD card in, run the payload. if you want to run SX OS/ReiNX/Hekate/Stock Horizon, just pop that SD card in and run the proper payload.
New nightly build !
What's new :
What's new :
- The default CPU clock is now 1020MHz (versus 1.9Ghz before) to prevent damaging the thermal components of the console, as they were not made to handle such high CPU speeds.
- You can now overclock the CPU using a new menu also added on this update. There are 5 profiles, including the 1.9GHz one.
hey! Is the dolphin core already integrated into the build? I did not read every page but some guys are already posting videos with the core.
it's the least unsafe since it doesn't touch Horizon at all
Yeah i wasnt worried about nintendo bans/horizon issues. i just wondered if there were other risk
but seems like the risks are small, so i will go for it. thanks for the reply!
I finally nailed down my issue with Wifi, and it might be related to one of my complaints (that there is no setting or information page in Lakka that shows your Wifi MAC address). Lakka WILL NOT connect to a network with MAC filtering turned on. Anyone who has been beating their head against a wall with is, check your setup. If you use MAC filters, I bet you anything you will connect in a couple of seconds after you turn off the filter.
Finally got my wifi running, and it only took a minute or two to connect my BT headphones.
@natinusala now you have a target to look at. In the meantime, can you please add to the FAQ that MAC filtering needs to be turned off, until there is a fix? Thanks.

Well this is common sense. I assume that your router doesn't deny connections (which is what MAC filtering does).
Common sense? My Switch's MAC address is on my whitelist. I can connect just fine in horizon. The problem is with Lakka. It is either not capable of reading it's own MAC address, or it isn't using it in any kind of hand shake. Either way, it doesn't obey protocol and it is a bug. "Common sense" says if my switch is whitelisted, it should be able to connect. Farther than that, if it connects in horizon, it should be able to connect in Lakka. If you don't uderstand this then don't even use the phrase "common sense", because you clearly lack a bit.
MY issue is solved (other than I would like to NOT have to lower my security to use Lakka, which I technically don't because I only needed to get bluetooth connected, and I've done that). I only took the time to verify where the bug is and report on it here because I am not the only one here or on Twitter who had wifi problems. Now whomever reads this will know. I've done my part.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
-
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
