@lemmy.worldToday I’ve been having a constant issue where my switch randomly crashes android into a kernel panic, I’ve tried both android 10 and 11 on 2 different sd cards yet it still doesn’t stop crashing it, I did some research on what a kernel panic was and I heard it might have something to do with faulty ram, and I had a overclock on my ram and cpu when on android 10, did I complete mess up my switch, or is it a sd card issue? And I’ve tried Ubuntu and Lakka to test it and they both have random kernel panic crashes too.
Hello, I just installed Android 11 today and it works for the most part. However, when I tried to use Steam Link or Moonlight, I noticed that my left stick drifts upwards for all games. So, I downloaded a gamepad checker app and I saw that it is indeed drifting to the top but when I boot to official firmware and do calibrations and play games, the controllers seem to be fine without any drift?
My question is, can this be fixed by tweaking something or is it my joycons malfunctioning? Thanks!
I was wondering if anybody knows of a place I can ask people about optimizing Retroarch cores on Switchroot for specific games. This is mainly for N64 as GBA, SNES GB and NES all seem to work without a hitch.
Hi. I'm a recent transfer from Reddit, as many are here, and have gotten into exploring Linux on Switch. Honestly, this was actually my first in-depth involvement with Linux, although I have messed with it in the past. Anyway, on to the main topic. After some ups and downs, I was able to get Steam to work via a combo of Pi-Apps (wine64 and box64) and the L4T Megascript (the steam install script by itself had some issues). While some games seem to work ok (The Talos Principle is pretty much playable at this point), it looks like x86 (32bit) games are not cooperating with DXVK; they only work with OpenGL through Steam's WINED3D launch command. Otherwise, they don't even launch, and crash immediately. This wouldn't be too much of a problem, except some 3D games look like they'd perform much better (or be outright playable in cases with unplayable games) with DXVK.
I've tried everything from installing 32bit libraries (spoiler: L4T 18.04 either does not work with them half the time due to dependency/compatibility issues, or cannot find them the other half) to updating sources and installing new software/updating drivers; nothing's worked so far. From what I can tell from the Proton logs, it looks like it has to do with i386/32bit drivers, but I can't be sure how to fix this given the before mentioned issues. I just wanted to check in to see if anyone else either had this issue or had any ideas to remedy this. That being said, anyone have an idea of how to fix this? The bulk of what's causing this seems to be summed up in these two lines from the proton log:
"Error loading needed lib libGLX_nvidia.so.0" "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dxvk::DxvkError'"
I might as well add that I've looked in the discord, and didn't find any answers there either.
Mind you, x64 games seem to at least launch off the bat. Again, from my own research, it seems like this is related to Steam or DXVK (or both) not being able to find i386 drivers/the drivers just not being there, but I have had no luck fixing this on L4T Swithroot Ubuntu. Any assistance would be appreciated, and I can provide a full log if needed. Thanks. In the meantime, I'm gonna keep searching online to see what I can find.

i've tried using this thread from the old subreddit for help but it doesn't do me any good because my tv doesn't seem to have any of the settings it's referring to

i'm trying to root an install of android 11 on my switch using magisk but i can't figure out where the boot image is so i can patch it
i think i need to dump it or something but i can't seem to figure that out either
If been looking into using my switch as an emulator and was wondering if I could still use my switch as a switch if I were to go through with the jailbreak.
