Homebrew RELEASE Lakka.tv - turn your Switch into a RetroArch powered retrogaming console - includes PSX, N64 and PSP

[kofman13]

so this can do PSX and n64? i thought it wasnt possible because of no hardware acceleration on homebrew yet?

 

[Duhasst0]

This is a linux port and not anything to do with horizon, so the drivers are pretty much there already for Linux just not horizon.

Edit: dinners to drivers cause auto correct is awesome.

Looking forward to having audio! This emulator looks great!

Did anyone try to boot lakka through new Hekate 4?

From Mr. "Poll no one gives a damn about" I am flattered!

Me when I see this:

Hi everybody
I am sad to browse this thread and see, some comment ... must be cool, I do not see.post that specifies the quality of the filters, except a post of some neogeo game with filter caligari I think, I have a gpdxd, android arc browser, retroarch, everything is fullspeed, with filter aperture grillX4, + shader, yes 60 fps, even better than that I play at the nes, snes, the megadrive or genesis us, neogeo, arcade , atari2600 until psx ebboot pcsx rearmed, so I buy a switch, and the only thing that works is retronX, managed to stuck an overlay aperture, it's better than nothing but far from my gpdxd m ' offers for 180 € quadcore 1.8mhz gpu mali, so I want to test lakka, I play a mario64 filter + shader with parallei core retroarch, I can force the fullspeed at 60 fps 60hz, when is it from lakka? so yes I do not wait for an answer of the style you only have tried you will see ...
mouah! ah! ah!
I do not speak about the sound quality of the switch compared to flash dolby athmos on my android console, the switch has a volume too low, you can not hear anything with the volume at the bottom, and lakka we hear nothing at all all course, except with bluetooth etc ... short congratulation to the dev de lakka, a long way is to go before putting his gpdxd to the retriever, and the x1 take the respeve piur can be exceeded the hardware limit of the gpdxd, and benefited from ps2 or gamecube in fullspeed, as on the nvidia shield and nintendo could make the gamecube possible ...
and for those who say that you should not buy switch for emulation, I answer that there is more powerful on android, with a dockable tv option, and bluetooth joystick? not much apart from the big smartphone has 900euros and 4 hours of autonomy without jostick, in short you see where I want to come ??

No

 

[KHEOPS]

Well simply that the switch, has the best hardware quality price, portability, to become the queen of mobile emulation, any consoles confused, do you know a docked smartphone that has 60℅ more power? and the system of your switch connected in nomad does it damage your switch? no, does that heat up too much? no, do this on smartphone genre pubg max parametre and plug the sector is in 6 months I expect the report ... on the state of your battery ...

It can boot from SX pro dongle that's how I used it... Just choose other option launch other payload launch hekate then launch Lakka... So works easy on the go.

You can go even further and use this to always directly launch hekate with SX Pro:

Given the fact that you can launch anything else from within hekate now (including the SX OS payload) there's no downside to it.

 

[andre1891]

Does multiplayer work on n64 or other?

 

[Stoned]

How to Fix?

@E: Fixed. Bad Lakka files

 

[doomtrigger]

besides n64 and ps1. how well does lakka run 2d ds games?

How do you launch Lakka through Hekate? I got into hekate, clicked launch and it said something about missing a hekate ini.

 

[sirAnger]

You can either create a dummy hekate .ini file with at least one entry, or you can download the one from tomger's sd files. Or I think you can also rename and move the lakka.ini file to match hekate.ini

Take these ideas with a grain of salt, I haven't tried any of them tbh.

I downloaded the tumGER file and got it all booted up. Man, it's effing exiting to have this running on my switch!

 

[placez]

is there a guide to use this with xecuter

Your config got somehow corrupted..
Get your SDfiles again

 

[Deleted member 461907]

See my above post, I did it for the first time tonight. Get the tunGER SD zip, that will have the hekate payload on it. Put that, along with the lakka files on your sd card. Boot SX OS, select custom payload, load hekate. From inside the hekate payload you will have the ability to launch the lakka payload.

Stock installation here.

Tried to run Symphony of the Night using PCSX REarmed and it runs slower than on NX, is there any change of config I need to do?

 

[KHEOPS]

Okay, that'll do it, folks.Just gave me time
Cause it's gonna be hard when I get back into the technical business.
Just so we understand each other..Not a big problem.
I haven't tested lakka yet.
But a question, can we use shaders, or overlay?
Because otherwise the rendering is not very good

Yes, shaders worked fine for me.
