Hacking RELEASE Painless Linux - it's Linux, but painless (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android)

Nope, it's going to need a fix from Horizon's side I'm afraid

 

[James310]

So how do you add the joycon patch to this?

 

[natinusala]

Apply the patch, recompile the kernel and use it. But it's not fully stable yet, it has trouble detecting the right Joy-Con from the left one

I get this error running this on OSX:

Put your Switch in RCM mode now
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./shofel2/shofel2.py", line 246, in <module>
    rcm = RCM()
  File "./shofel2/shofel2.py", line 50, in __init__
    fds_before = get_fds()
  File "./shofel2/shofel2.py", line 37, in get_fds
    return set(int(i) for i in os.listdir("/proc/self/fd"))
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/self/fd'

Can anyone help me out with this?

 

[natinusala]

It doesn't work on OSX for now. You can try fusée-launcher with memloader if you want.

I'd love walking around with a small computer in my pocket! oh wait...

Anyhow, this is just pure awesomeness! This is why I love homebrew

great work just wrote to you on twitter

 

[natinusala]

i asked you on twitter if you could check dolphin under lakka ? i am getting on ubuntu frame drops running at 1,9ghz but i would need to overclock the gpu to 1ghz but was not able to yet

 

[natinusala]

The dolphin core is not ready for ARM64 I'm afraid

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

To overclock the GPU : echo 0d > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/128/pstate

It will very likely crash though

well the standalone is giving me around 30 fps on New Super Mario Bros , i need to see how to clock the gpu higher

Dont fry your switch.

I got to play with this last night & this is super cool. Thanks so much for putting this together! I've got a busy weekend ahead of me but I plan on playing with this more & trying to contribute to the "Linux On Switch" community in the near future!

To those having weird stability issues, try using a new/different microSD card. I was having all kinds of problems until I switched to a different microSD card. Now everything is awesome

 

[Alosho]

Is this dangerous to use at this time for emulators and web browsing? or am I good if I dont mess with the settings? I want to install this with emulators and the joycon drivers but I worry that my switch could have power management issues or thermal issues.

 

[natinusala]

You may want to reduce the profile to "low" to prevent power failures from happening

 

[Alosho]

Are these power issues something that causes permanent damage? if not I will just install it. I read that Fail0verflow broke some switches while working on this.

Does this require a separate SD card, or can Linux be booted from your existing SD card used for homebrew?

can be used from one sdcard just make an ext4 partition and one which is fat32
