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

The boot folder is inside /lakka/ now?

Am I supposed to move this folder to be parallel to /lakka/, or is this the new folder structure?

Is it: (If so, I can obviously remove the old /boot/ folder, yea?)

/lakka/boot/

or is it still:

/lakka/
/boot/

???

You now just need /lakka/, no separate boot directory.

You do need to replace the coreboot.rom in the /payloads/directory on the PC side with the one inside the nightly archive, though.

Awesome, thank you!

Use Bluetooth headphones or speaker, or use an airplay receiver. There's a guide for both of those here https://lakka-switch.github.io/documentation/faq.html

I have only been able to boot a corrupted file of lakka. Any time I attempt to boot it up im left with just an empty black screen, ive done this countless times and followed everything to a T.

I did get it to work about twice but only in the corrupted state, i had lakka boot with the black squares everywhere and an error saying it didnt detect my joycon rail both times, then after fixing the corrupted file i only get a black screen again. Im unsure of what do to at this point.

Lakka does not and will not support exFAT. You need to use fat32 if you want to use lakka.

link down :

1. Download the latest stable archive from here (use your brain to grab the latest) one and im on windows

on windows not mac ??? so how would i use this

Open the tar file as an archive with WinRAR or 7zip.

I have a few questions if that's no bother?
Firstly, with BT audio, the guide mentions that pairing is only needed initially, and then it should sync if both devices are on, and nearby? Well I'm using Sony (MDR-XB950B1) for anyone wondering, and it doesn't do this. It syncs just fine and outputs audio. But if I properly (or improperly) close out Lakka, the next time I run it, I have to re sync...

Also, do shaders work, or no? If so, how exactly would one go about utilizing them?

Will this supports exfat format?

Most certainly not

Can we create 2 partition on the sd, the first fat32 for lakka and the other one exfat for switch stuff?

If you plan on using just one Card for Linux and CFW I must disappoint you.
U-boot ( loads linux ) will always look for the first(!) Partition.
So even if you get it to work like this, your cfw won't find your exfat Partition on the other Side

The same thing happens to me using the latest Lakka nightly build and the latest boot scripts. I also tried replacing the coreboot.rom file in the payloads directory with the one bundled with the Lakka tarfile, but it made no difference.

I'm using a 32 GB SanDisk micro SD card (FAT32 formatted, works fine under Horizon).

If you guys having any problems i suggest you wait for the next build, thats what im going to do...

I am having trouble with compiling Lakka, whenever it gets to building Python (host), it always fails to do "./python -E -S -m sysconfig --generate-posix-vars". It would always complain about "Segmentation fault".

Here is the error if anyone wants to check it. Is there a solution to this problem?

Spoiler: Error

Which flavor of Linux are your running this with ?

Oh! I forget to add that info. It's Fedora 28.

 

[natinusala]

Update your system ? Update your Python ?

I honestly have no idea of what's causing this...
