They are not even comparable. Lakka is Linux while sx os is a modded switch os. Lakka can only play emulators while sx os can play backups and Homebrew. You can run the retro nx Homebrew through sx os though. Retro nx supports docked and sound but does not support ds, n64, psp and GameCube.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


Yeah you shouldn't be banned since it runs Linux instead of horizon.

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”.

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 :
  • 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.

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.

    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."

  • 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
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
