I AM NOT SURE IF SOMEONE HAS FOUND THIS YET!


I have found a way to play any MP4 files!
You'll need an internet connection, a computer, and a Google account.

STEPS:
COMPUTER:
1. Go to Google Drive and sign into your Google account.
2. Upload your mp4 file.

SWITCH:
1. Open System Settings.
2. Go to Users and select your account.
3. Scroll down to 'Posting to Social Media' and tap it.
4. Go ahead and press link on Facebook.
5. Scroll down to Pages and tap on it.
6. Search for Google Drive.
7. Click on the first result, yes it's not a official page but it works.
8. Find the website area of the page and tap on the website.
9. Sign into the same Google account you uploaded the video on.
10. Select the video and enter fullscreen and your video should start playing.

Clickbait... I thought OP had found a way to sign local mp4 files for use in album.

The method he found has been known since last summer, that's how Switchtube works...
I know that is how SwitchTube works. I never said in the title anything about signing local mp4s so how is it clickbait?

Because streaming a video online from any Google, FB Or Twitter host is already well known.

When u have a title that says "Watch any mp4 on Switch" people presume u are talking about local playback.

Still doesn't make it clickbait though. I get what you're saying but the OP did state that he wasn't sure if it had already been discovered.

People are so quick to criticise on here sometimes.

Yeah, go ahead and post a link to your files and watch how fast you reach your daily limit. Not feasible to share with Google drive on a free account

you should only call it clickbait if it brings profit. but what kind of profit does OP make? GBATemp XP? yeah its a pretty useless thread but not clickbait in any definition.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
