To reward our very first set of backers, our early birds, we've decided to go big, just look at the prizes that are up for grabs this time!

PRIZE #1: A BRAND NEW NINTENDO SWITCH CONSOLE!

PRIZE #2: A $50 AMAZON GIFT CARD

PRIZE #3: A $25 AMAZON GIFT CARD
PRIZE #4: A $25 AMAZON GIFT CARD
PRIZE #5: A $25 AMAZON GIFT CARD

As you may have noticed, the total value of those prizes exceeds the amount we've received on Patreon so far. That's because the raffles are not monthly, they're quarterly! Also, please note that while the prizes are really cool for this first raffle, we don't know yet whether the next raffles will have such prizes again (unless Patreons donation continue increasing). Your support will also fund the GBAtemp Bounty which will be announced later this month.

How to enter?
In order to enter you must:
1) be a Patreon backer since June - anyone who became a backer after July 1st is not included since their first payment will be processed in August
2) post in this thread
3) not get banned or suspended until the winners are announced

When's the deadline?
You have one week to enter. This thread will be locked on July 12th.

When will the winners be announced?
Within a few days after July 12th.
We'll do a live stream on Twitch (details here for those who can access it).

i feel like this would be much more effective if you postponed the raffle and gave new supporters the chance to enter until the next quarterly donation date

One of my games is Xenoblade Chronicles X :wacko:

Actually I told myself last year that I had to finish Xenoblade Chronicles 3D before 2017, just to give myself a deadline. I did it and mere months later, Monolith Soft announce Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for the Switch. That was actually going to a system seller for me honestly. That and No More Heroes 3, if Suda 51 keeps his word and makes another one.

Good luck backers!

Hi!

A quick question. My debit card had some problems and the payment wasn´t processed on the 1st. But I fixed the problems, and I was charged yesterday automatically by Patreon.

Is there any way I can regain the Patreon status in time for entering this raffle?

  • B @ BigArnold:
    Can you guys help with my problem concerning my Switch?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Did you switch it up
  • B @ BigArnold:
    Switch what up?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Switch the switch to resolve your issue
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, sorry but i cant, i dont have a switch. also what k3nv2 says is a joke
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's what I figured. I put a post up in a forum but no one seems to replying to posts there. I also don't what this chat is attached to.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    General chat as it implies
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, try posting in the "switch noob paradise" thread
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's where I put it. But like I said other people's posts from a day or two ago have no responses. I'm not sure if the chat is part of the Nintendo forum that I'm on or a part of the website as a whole.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, part of the website as a whole
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    then try making a thread
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    wait you are too new to be able to do that
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's fine. I'll find my way.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @BigArnold you put the fusee or hekate.bin in the hekate/ payloads folder, or use app to push the payload to switch while its in rcm mode
     +1
  • B @ BigArnold:
    The problem is is that TegraGUI isn't detecting my Switch despite it being plugged in and in RCM or maintenance mode.
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Did you click install driver inside the tegra app.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I did all of that stuff and it seemed successful but still nothing. The only thing different from the guide I used was that my device wasn't showing up as APX but rather Nintendo Switch.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I did it inside the Tegra app and Zadig.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Try a different USB c cable, or different USB port on your pc.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I tried a different port and don't have another cable. I'm fairly certain there's no issue with the equipment I'm using.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Some cheap USB c cables don't send data, they only charge
  • B @ BigArnold:
    The cable is usually used to connect my controller to my switch's dock.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Only other thing Id suggest is using a phone/tablet and use the Rekato app, or different pc
  • B @ BigArnold:
    Okay then.
    Thanks for your help.
