Homebrew {Request} Can someone look into the FLOG Emulator? [Updated]

[isoboy]

I laughed to myself when I first read these steps you have to take yesterday. I thought it was complete utter BS. My second switch was only turned to create a user. I haven't put a cart in it or updated it. It's at 2.1.0. I'll check it out later.

I can not believe I am saying this, but I actually got it to work. Multiple times.
No, I am not joking. And yes, I have video.
I will post a separate thread so everyone can see how to do it.

I assume you're on 1.0.0?

Can you post the vid here as well?

Yes, I am on 1.0.0. Check out the tread: http://gbatemp.net/threads/secret-nes-golf-game-on-the-switch-a-tribute-to-mr-satoru-iwata.484536/
I did my best to describe the hand motion needed to activate it. Maybe others can do it also.

I need to make a new video. The one I made was way too long (over 10mins), and I was not able to capture the hand motion. I will make another better one then upload.

Do you have an ETA on that new video you're making?

And then there was silence

Yup, although I can't say I'm terribly surprised. It would be pretty crazy if a single person managed to get Golf to launch multiple times when there haven't been any other reports of that so far.

 

[Deleted-368796]

Guys, I'm working on it. It's a bit difficult to activate. Made 7 videos and still can't manage to get it under 5mins long. :/

Couldn't you just upload a long one? If it still shows golf then we'll appreciate that

Unless Theunidentified1 get his goddamn golf, he's going to take a SWING at you.

Haha, I'd rather not

When it comes to hacking I'm green and while I don't have any links, a little birdie told me this thread isn't bogey. That bird was an albatross by the way.

Hey I have something really important regarding the NES emulator on the Nintendo Switch. I had this really odd experience with my switch that when I had left and returned to it, NES Golf was on my screen. I played it and it played normally, but it was night time for me so I wasn't thinking about the importance of this. I went to do some research on this and I didn't find anything about it until I looked at what was discovered by the modding community. They found this "'Flog' NES emulator. Installed on retail systems but not known to be launched by anything currently." I believe that "Flog" is simply "Golf" backwards and I had somehow caused it to launch. Now this is entirely your choice to believe me or not, I totally blame myself for not recording any of it and since it happened randomly to me, I do not think I can repeat this myself.

I want to know if anyone else has experienced this just so I know I'm not alone on this. No I did not record any proof of this as I'm stupid and when I was finished playing it I exited out of it without recording anything.

Edit: Due to a request I'm linking this guy's twitter who seems to be able to look into this further https://twitter.com/ylws8

Everyone likes you now well done!

Got it to work

 

[Shady Guy Jose]

For what it's worth, there are no NES Roms anywhere in the console's NAND/etc where flog could access them, even if you somehow managed to launch flog.

Anyway, OP's a liar, move on, nothing to see here.

(Also, qlaunch and flog don't share a titleid, qlaunch (which is the home menu), contains code to launch flog that goes unused -- and even if it were used somehow there would be no NES roms anywhere for flog to load anyway).

@SciresM I do believe you owe this guy an apology

Not sure I believe OP got it to work given the dates, but yeah, okay -- my bad, sorry.

Guess I failed to consider "hardcoded" as a ROM location, heh.

Hey dood. Can you tell how accurate the motions need to be by looking at the activation flag requirement?
I had a really hard time getting it just right. But I have been able to launch it around 15 or so time so far.
