Is there any homebrew or method to enable gyroscope on Nintendo switch without joycons.
I used a controller like hori split pad. But it hasn’t gyroscope feature.
So I heard the Nintendo switch tablet itself has gyroscope built-in and works without joycons attached. Some shrines in Zelda breath of the wild has missions that require a gyroscope.

So if there’s a way to enable gyro I’ll be grateful.

There actually is gyro in the tablet, it's just not talked about much. Labo VR uses it for one, it can track your head movements even when the joycons aren't connected to the tablet. Speaking from experience.

Is there any chance or homebrew to activate it?
Because I’m playing BOTW with a different controller and hope to have a gyro working to solve shrines missions.

I guess a sysmodule like Mission Control could potentially achieve this, reading the tablet gyro and spoofing it for the controller being used, but I know it hasn't been done so far and this is the first time I've seen it requested. Another way could be to patch the game to read the other gyro, that hasn't been done before either to my knowledge. You'd have to find a capable dev who felt like doing it, I'm sure the Mission Control guy would be up to the challenge but idk if he'd want to, couldn't hurt to ask tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
