Look I ain't know nothin' 'bout no "GeForce," I just need someone to tell me if this means I might be able to turn my Switch into the portable New-Vegas-with-mods-machine I always secretly wanted it to be in the first place

Just use Moonlight (which is also available through custom firmware/Homebrew, it's not Android-exclusive). I don't know if the Android Steam Link app will work, it... might? First game I'm gonna stream to my Switch is gonna be Portal 2, personally.

Hey. Modding my Wii U for the first time here. I've followed the guide in the OP exactly to my knowledge, and when trying to access the browser exploit, upon trying to launch the homebrew I get a black screen that says FSOpenFile failed. I've made sure my card is formatted correctly. Is it a problem with my Wii U reading the card? Or is it just something I have to keep trying?

This is very E X C I T E Last time I checked (which admittedly was a few months ago), Sony had done something to the Remote Play Android app that completely stopped it from working on non-Sony phones. Also I'm not sure even hacked versions of the Remote Play app ever worked with anything other than a DS4/DS3. So unfortunately I don't see Remote Play working on the Switch. Which is too bad, because then I could mess with people by streaming Persona 5 to it. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Jul 25, 2019 |

Anyone have any troubleshooting tips/workarounds for GBA on 3DS. GBARunner2 inside TwilightMenu++ just crashes on a bunch of games I want to play. Can GBA games be injected into virtual console things or something?

Just keep in mind, the games still run when you put the 3DS to sleep, so be sure to save and exit your games when putting them down like it's 2002.

The 3DS CPU has enough GBA DNA in it that you can run GBA games on a hardware level very similarly to how DS games are run in a backwards-compatibility mode. The obvious caveat to this is that your system is basically a glorified GBA while running in GBA mode.

I was planning on re-doing my Switch's CFW setup to use emuMMC, and I wanted to revert to my original NAND backup from before I did anything to it. That backup is from system version 4.1.0. Would it be recommended to update the system through Nintendo and burn all the required fuses before re-applying Hekate and Atmosphere?

So I've been messing around with Android all evening. For starters: the install process isn't smooth, and if you've never messed around with flashing .zips in TWRP on an Android device before you're gonna wanna watch a tutorial video first. Once it boots, you'll find a (mostly) functional Android install, though the touch response is definitely too high and it's laggier/more stuttery than you might expect. That said, it's Android Oreo on the Switch. Everything I've installed so far works. I had to sideload YouTube TV (the Switch Android install pretends it's a Shield TV, so the Play Store has the phone/tablet version of the app blocked) and while the Shield TV games, like Half-Life 2, Portal, and Tomb Raider can be installed from the Play Store, performance isn't perfect and for some reason they're not fullscreen. For a laugh, I installed CounterSpy, a decentish rouglite stealth game published by Sony... it was a trip to see the Sony Computer Entertainment credit pop up on a Nintendo console. Emulation, of course, is good. I have not tried Dolphin, but even on my Shield TV it doesn't work great, so I wouldn't expect the Switch to fair any better. PPSSPP plays Peace Walker at double resolution at the native FPS (which, admittedly, is only 20... but hey, it hits that!). Drastic emulation is perfect, which is no surprise considering that DS games emulated perfectly on my Nexus 6 years ago. I haven't tried NES/SNES/Game Boy/GBA emulation yet, but I have no reason to believe they won't work. Then there's the game streaming side of things. Others have reported Moonlight and Steam Link working well, but my gaming PC hasn't been turned on in months. When I've wanted to play a PC game, I've been doing it through GeForce Now on my Shield TV. Well, that works on Android for the Switch, though the connection isn't quite as reliable, due in no small part to the Switch's lovely WiFi. I played a bit of Arkham Asylum and The Witcher 3 and even though there was a connection quality warning pretty much the entire time, the games were quite playable (the button layout was "wrong" though). They both looked great on the Switch, too--I'm looking forward to the upcoming port of The Witcher a little less now (still gonna buy it though because it's such a wild concept that The Witcher III is gonna be on a frigging tablet). Now, this initial release of Android is by no means perfect, there are some rough spots everywhere. Lakka probably emulates games slightly better, or at least with less overhead. Having to use a separate SD card and reboot the Switch when you want to use Android is... not as easy a launching a Homebrew emulator in Horizon, if you've already got CFW running. Having to re-pair the joycon every time you boot is... slightly annoying, I guess? But if you're like me, and like Android, and don't want to even come close to Nintendo's telemetry catching you doing things they don't want you to on their hardware, I cannot recommend this port enough.

So for those with the SNES Classic, when you're adding games and deciding on the box art to use, do you typically end up using the Western box art to keep with the consistency of the game name, or do you prefer to use the Japanese box art if you prefer it to the Western one?

If I really like the Japanese box art I use a photoshopped version with the American box details for consistency. There's almost always one of those in the hakchi image search

strange feelings re Daisy posted:How safe is Android for Switch? I don't want my account to be banned. Can it be installed to an SD card with Switch games on it or does it need its own card? It needs its own card. Currently, everyone is 99.9% sure that Nintendo won't ban you for using Lakka/Android/anything that boots off an SD card because the only way they would know what you've done is if you start up the Switch normally with the SD in question still in the Switch (so make sure to swap your card back when you go to play games).

Pegnose Pete posted:Seedmining a 3DS was really easy for me, what's this about magnets? A magnet is needed for NTRBoot. Basically it needs to run while the 3DS is in sleep mode but you also have to be able to press buttons while in sleep mode to start it. Sleep mode is triggered by a magnet in the top screen, so putting a strong enough magnet in the right place on the 3DS will trigger sleep mode with the console still open. Anything stronger than one of those flat fridge magnets will work.

I have a launch day Switch that I’ve always updated to the latest OS without really considering homebrew. Not at all interested in piracy or Switch mods anything, but having a separate Android SD card to boot up for emulators sounds cool. I’m vaguely aware that earlier Switch models have some unpatchable vulnerability, but don’t know if the situation is harder due to updating to the current OS. Is it easy to get a stock Switch to the point of running Android? And does it make installing future official updates a pain if I want my regular Switch experience untouched/undetectable?

A good poster posted:I was planning on re-doing my Switch's CFW setup to use emuMMC, and I wanted to revert to my original NAND backup from before I did anything to it. That backup is from system version 4.1.0. Would it be recommended to update the system through Nintendo and burn all the required fuses before re-applying Hekate and Atmosphere? This got a bit lost, so: Do not burn fuses. That's bad. This happens whenever you boot through anything tht's not a SXOS/Atmosphere/hekate. Do a NAND backup from right now, so you can just always go back to before you started messing around with it. Then restore your backup from 4.1.0 (i hope you also have the BOOT0/BOOT1 images from back then). Then apply any emuMMC shenanigans you'd like. Not sure how you'd like to use it, keep eMMC clean and use emuMMC for homebrew? Then you can restore the backup you made fom today to the emuMMC i guess. And use your real 4.1.0 NAND to boot your emuMMC through a software exploit, so you can ditch the RCM exploit and dongles and injecting payloads and stuff if you'd like. As for updating: if you're running latest atmosphere, updating through system settings is fine and pretty much risk-free. It protects your Auto-RCM, which means after rebooting you'll have to use hekate or whatever else bootloader you use again and protect your fuses. edit: I'm not actually 100% on what happens if you update emuMMC and then reboot without AutoRCM. My gut tells me that it would try to reboot into normal operation, meaning youreboot into normal eMMC on lower firmware and don't burn anything, but i don't know for sure.

Not at all interested in piracy or Switch mods anything, but having a separate Android SD card to boot up for emulators sounds cool. Nintendo can't do anything about the Fusée Gelée exploit in the vulnerable Switches, so you can update your OS all you want and you'll always be able to access RCM mode to boot another OS. Is it easy to get Android running? Well, have you ever dual booted Linux on a PC, or installed a rom on an Android phone, or hacked a console before? If so, you shouldn't have much trouble. If you haven't, though, I'd recommend waiting for a video about it from ETA Prime or the like so you can follow along with it. Alternatively, there's a good written tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ni...switch-t3952300 Oh, and there's one important thing I forgot to mention: in order to reboot to Android, you have to short the right joycon port (I bought a jig for that because I could never get the tinfoil or paperclip method to work) and plug your Switch into another device so a payload can be sent that allows for booting. If you have an Android phone, it's not a huge issue--there's an app called NX Loader you can install on your phone that automatically detects when a RCM mode Switch is connected and sends the payload. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Jul 28, 2019 |

I homebrewed my N3DS XL a few months ago and while the guide was great I feel like I don't have a good understanding of what I actually DID, which makes me nervous. Is there anything I should be doing to keep the hacks up to date, or any general maintenance?

I think SX Installer is just a stolen/copy of Tinfoil. I could have the confused with something else. Tinfoil, at least how most people use it, is used in conjunction with /hbg/shop for  . Don't really know why or what anyone would use it for outside of that except game updates. In any case, SX OS is far and true the easiest and most user-friendly CFW out there. It's actually a bit surprising that no one really holds a candle in that department.-- And yeah, as far as the 3DS goes, you just need to focus on updating Luma so that everything works if Nintendo decides to push further software updates. You can see if they put out new GodMod9 updates and stuff, but it's not all that necessary for what you're gonna be doing.
