Is it possible to support exfat in the future? Thank you!

I can't see exfat being supported anytime soon, but it'll be a pleasant surprise if something does come up in the future.

@urherenow did you make sure that the Lakka MAC address was the same as HOS MAC address ? It wouldn't surprise me if it weren't the same, seeing how Wi-Fi is broken-ish right now

 

[hippy dave]

Yeah i wasnt worried about nintendo bans/horizon issues. i just wondered if there were other risk but seems like the risks are small, so i will go for it. thanks for the reply!

Don't leave it idle on home screen/menus, to avoid screen burn.

any chance for a stand alone n64 emu on the switch soon?

 

[BloodRose]

Sorry if it's a dumb question but how do you enable FPS display on this and also what is the most optimal clock speed to use?

I tried Windwaker and RE4 earlier but they were a bit sluggish.

That would be easier to answer if anything at all in Lakka would tell you your MAC, but let me see...

Lakka connection says: 00-90-4c-1a-a0-01

Well, there you go. That is NOT the MAC address reported by horizon. The Horizon MAC starts with 98:B6:E9...

Would someone else please try and see if your Lakka connection reports the same MAC as the one above (00:90:4C...)?

If you don't know how, open cmd on your laptop or PC on the same network, ping your switch's IP (while connected in Lakka) then "arp -A"

Can i use Dualshock4 controller with this?

Is it possible to calibrate the joysticks? I've tried playing Mario 64 but the left stick in a neutral state registers as slightly tilted up. It doesn't happen in the regular os.

doesn't that game itself have a calibration mode? idr...

It would be nice if this included a browser and media player.

 

[Huntereb]

@natinusala Any news on proper power modes? Is this usable in a portable capacity yet? I got banned from Twitter so I haven't been able to get in touch with ya as of late, hop on IRC if you get the chance!

how do you enable FPS display

Under the icon second from the left (I believe it it settings) select "Onscreen Display," then select "Onscreen Notifications" and activate "Display Framerate."

I don't have Lakka on a SD card ATM but I have the same MAC address (00:90:4C...) using OP's Painless Linux which has been patched with the Lakka updates (courtesy of DarkOrb).

Thanks I'll take a look.

so the question becomes... why is a fake MAC address baked into Linux disros for Switch, and how do we fix it? Perhaps that's the wifi problem to begin with (not working without a reboot)?

@natinusala

EDIT: also... since EVERYONE is reporting the same MAC adress, how is this not causing all sorts of issues with netplay and the like?

Hi natinusala:

When do you implement a sleep funktion in lakka? At this time lakka is useless for me. Thanks for your work.

This is not the wifi problem to begin with. The wifi reboot issue is being worked on and will hopefully be fixed on the next release.

As for the MAC address, I think it has to do with a misconfiguration. It's not supposed to be a constant MAC for everyone. I'll look into it.

EDIT: also... since EVERYONE is reporting the same MAC adress, how is this not causing all sorts of issues with netplay and the like?

I think it can create issues when using netplay on two Switches on the same local network. Since they share the same MAC address and public IP, the NAT will not work properly.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Can anyone help me, my joy cons aren't working when im booted into lakka.tv, i launched into the normal switch os and they work on there just fine.

EDIT : Awkward, booted into normal os again, checked my controllers and realised they just have no battery left, charging now and hopefully should would.

How is N64 emulation with lakka.tv?
