I cannot seem to find the thread on how to setup so I can launch homebrew app without having to press "R" in atmosphere. I know I can just live with pressing "R", but I prefer not to.

What I recall was that I needed to update /atmosphere/loader.ini and include the homebrew app in atmosphere/title/XXXXXXXX. Appreciate it if someone who has done this recently for the latest atmosphere can help out with the additional detail.

I believe u can change it with kosmos toolbox (extra program) as i have mind set to hold L...the R button tends to break inside from the pcb and not work correctly so I switched mine to L. Even if it clicks like normal it could have broken off still and not work as it should.

This is what I do. Fairly quick and easy

I know some would not do what I do but just giving an alternative way of avoiding holding R. I make nro2nsp forwarders for each and every rom (I have like almost 400) you can give each game it's own icon and it makes it look like you have a legit switch game instead of loading an emulator and then a rom. So it's easier to access the game and looks cooler IMO.

Great idea, but wouldn't that just be the same as installing the homebrew nsp and come with the restriction that you cannot launch it while a game is running?

I don't know what you mean. There's no restrictions. You launch them the same as any other switch game and it has the extra ram included. You don't have to do anything else but launch the game.

I think she meant that you can't run hbmenu while another game is running that way. You would need to close the other game.

If you need to access homebrew menu you can use any nro2nsp forwarded nsp and hold R only if needed. Otherwise you just play the game. I don't see the issue.

    Teraflops are not necessarily indicative of real world performance, especially when compared across different architectures. The Switch 2 will also be smaller/lighter than the Steam Deck so it's performance has to fit inside a much smaller thermal and power envelope. Using a 120hz VRR panel means 40 fps locks can be an option in handheld mode, which will be a noticeable upgrade over the current 30 fps standard on Switch 1. Games could also go uncapped and leverage VRR to keep things smooth.

    Call me a filthy casual but I really don't notice the difference between the last few generations of consoles, and pushing specs just for the sake of bragging rights is really pointless.

    Yea I think the HDR and 60fps+ have been the biggest noticeable improvements, along with faster load times/ ssd hd.

    Playing the devils advocate, o nstema deck I drop the FPS on most games to 30 due power conservation and tbh I see little to none difference to 60fps. I'd say the difference is in what one wants to believe

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I mostly play shooter games and after playing 120fps (on 120hz tv) most of the time, 60fps otherwise, its hard going back to 30fps, it feels like its in slow motion or screen stuttering.

    huh I can't tell the difference between 30 and 144 fps and I play with both '-'

    Steamdeck only 60hz, so 60fps max, but yea its whatever we get comfortable with.
