    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    I made an emunand partition on my switch and updated it to 8.1.0. However, I seem to have an issue with being able to read the card. When I use my sysnand on version 3.0.0, it works just fine. Does anyone know what the issue may be?

    After an undisclosed security breach was revealed, Google+ will be shutting down

    I am going to be a super minority on this, but I am actually going to miss google+. it seemed to be a hotspot for Linux developers to share their thoughts.

    What Linux distros do you all use?

    Yeah, I lucked out on my hardware. I didn't intend to use it for GPU passthrough at the time, but everything managed to work out in the end. I even got MacOS running on it! I could see this argument for most AMD CPU, but mainstream Intel CPU do have iGPU built-in (unless you want to also use...

    What Linux distros do you all use?

    Well if you the right hardware and are willing to buy another GPU... Edit: This isn't easier to set up though.

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

    This is very good for my purposes (I need a keyboard to configure Debian on my Switch). I am going to get a USB C hub later and mess around with this in the future! I never made a USB dongle before for the switch; but if I were you, I would look for a way to get hekate to boot from your dongle...

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

    I noticed that the Pericom PI3USB30532 driver is there on the lakka kernel, but it is not enabled in the config file. Is there any reason why it is not enabled?

    Hacking RELEASE Painless Linux - it's Linux, but painless (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android)

    I see... but I am still confused as to how to the boot process works (or how coreboot knows where to find the boot.scr file). From I understand, coreboot doesn't contain any Lakka specific paths (when I looked from the patches)... On a side note, I would assume that we no longer need to build...

    Hacking RELEASE Painless Linux - it's Linux, but painless (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android)

    I wonder how hekate is able to know where the kernel is located. The .ini file only links to the coreboot rom and splash-screen image.

    Steam Play updated, allows Linux users to play Windows games using modified version of Wine

    To be fair, the losers would probably be the paid 3rd party porters (Feral Interactive, Aspyr Media, etc). However, I also think this is a win-win in terms of the big picture. That interesting, I didn't know that... but there is also OpenJDK, which works just as fine.

    Hacking RELEASE Painless Linux - it's Linux, but painless (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android)

    I can definitely say that it is a modeset error. Are DRM kernel configs different for each distro? Outside of compiling, I wonder if the "CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR" location is important when you boot the kernel. Edit: Once I managed to disable Xorg from autostarting (At first I thought it...

    Hacking RELEASE Painless Linux - it's Linux, but painless (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android)

    @natinusala Since my Linux source is not working with your config file, I decided to use the Linux source that the Lakka build system has already put together. The only change I did to your script was disabling the initramfs option since the system would boot to an emergency shell otherwise...

    Hacking RELEASE Painless Linux - it's Linux, but painless (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android)

    So I tried to use the Lakka config, and it seems that the screen doesn't turn on after applying the exploit. I tried to launch the exploit multiple times to make sure this wasn't a weird quirk. Edit: I did do "make nintendo-switch_defconfig" before replacing the config with Lakka, am I not...

    Hacking RELEASE Painless Linux - it's Linux, but painless (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android)

    Do you mean your config or DarkOrbs? I tried DarkOrbs config. The script did ask me about come kernel config options so I just pressed enter until the script starts compiling.

    Hacking RELEASE Painless Linux - it's Linux, but painless (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android)

    I am making progress, but I am blocked by another issue. When I load my custom kernel, I am able to see the startup screen (the one with the four tuxes and messages below), but once it leaves that screen, it gets stuck on another screen with a white underscore. I can't ssh into the machine (it...

    Hacking RELEASE Painless Linux - it's Linux, but painless (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android)

    @natinusala From what I understand, you are supposed to have a .dtb be generated when you compile the Linux kernel, but I don't see it when I look in the "linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts" directory. Is there something I am missing in this command? make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- Image...
