Hbmenu and daybreak come with aatmosphere. Shouldn't need to touch either of them. What tool are you using that’s prompting you to do thus.

They are already installed in homebrew. There’s nothing to install.

please share a screen shot.

See if you have hbmenu.nro in the top level of your SDCard. Check if you have daybreak.nro in /switch director. If you do, they are installed.

daybreak is used for updating your firmware (dont get that confused with cfw), so you download whatever firmware you wanna update/downgrade to and then use daybreak to update. thats all daybreak does

hbmenu is the HomeBrew Launcher. It’s how you run .nro (home brew) files. You can get to it by holding (and continue holding) the (R)ight shoulder button and clicking on a game title (this is called title override)

if you like the feel of detached xbox/PS controller then the pro controller feels similar.

can i use wii u pro controller with my switch wired / wirelessly.

you can use the controls I believe w/ missioncontrol sys-module but it doesn’t use the IR bar for pointing.

Those will work w/ MissionControl native without requiring an adapter.

If we did we wouldn’t share it because that would be against site terms of service. :-)

If they are installed you can dump them using NXDumptool.

Get it from a different source. That‘s the wrong version.

Hi, I managed to installed some arcade games around 30-70 mb in size. They are installed as arcade archives. A couple namely burnin tyres, pooyan run OK but when I use all the lives amd the games end OK. When I want to restart it again an error message pops up " that an error has occurred the game was shut down " and the game shuts down. I have to restart it from tinfoil again.
I'm on old 15.1 cfw . Can someone tell me what's wrong and gow to rectify this

You probably want to start a new thread for this. I don’t know about this one and I doubt many folks are following this big old generic thread.

Might want to ask over at Switch Noob Paradise for best response and widest audience.
