With all the crazy progress happening with PS5 jailbreaking lately thanks to AI, do you think we'll ever see a software jailbreak for the Switch OLED? Or is that just wishful thinking, and the OLED model will always require a modchip to be jailbroken?

I'd LOVE to be able to play this game without owning a steam deck you think we could get a port going and get it to run?

I'm really new to this but I got version 14.1-35 and I'm on the start menu and when I select "Select Disc Image" nothing happens. I can select settings and quit from the menu but that doesn't work. Should I re-download or what? Is there a better version or alternative?

This port is amazing props to the dude who made it

Hi everyone, l got a modded oled for almost 2 years and recently I started to notice that games take way longer to boot up, even when playing smash ultimate there is a lag in gameplay, at first I though just to update hats (6.5.3 current version, I haven’t use it much lately) but it’s still the same, I’ve seen other posts about possible the sd going bad and run a benchmark on hekate, should I just get a new sd or is there something I should try first. Thank you in advance!

With the latest updates to Atmosphere and Horizon OC, is anyone able to overclock on 23.0.0?

I briefly tried installing Horizon, Ultrahand, and other inlays but would get an Atmosphere panic crash after trying to load into emummc. I was only able to fix it by reversing everything with one minor side effect (all switch icons when choosing which firmware to launch instead of SD card for emummc)

Duvida

I cannot find it anywhere.

Hi everyone! I just got my oled switch chipped like 2 weeks ago, and it was working great, installed bunch of games. But just today wanted to install a new nro so i restarted the console and now it goes straight to stock firmware, wont even get to hekate. what to do in this situation?

Is there a way to make NxActivityLog time Homebrew Apps, like Tico, retroarch or Ports?

(Sorry for bad english)

Sorry for shit video quality, the port works good with some OC

If there's one thing y'all should know is that it's not a 1/1 XBOX 360 port it's a rewrite, there's no traffic or NPC's, I saw someone else tried to port the XBOX version and it ran like shit so this is pretty good for a Switch version for now.

If anyone can share any similar news that would be great!

I was looking for something similar to this but it should run on Switch https://www.reddit.com/r/decomps/comments/1vwm67x/gen1recomp_full_review_the_best_way_to_play/

finally got some playable gameplay! go some graphics settings in there and at full coverclock and very low graphics it can get high 20s consistently. at the very end i did put it back to high (game default) and you can see the difference. been putting a lot of time recently into it. fixed lots of bugs and have done optimization. this is a debug build by the way so we will see without all the debug stuff enabled if i can get some more frames.

Hello everybody, i would like to know if im the only one facing this problem, when i start the process, everything is fine, i put my .wua file in the installer, the build gets done, and it requires the connection to switch with DBI but around 20-30 minutes later i find myself with these similar screens for a lot of files, its been at least 3 hours and im still on the 80/1021 files, so its taking very long, and it fails sometimes and theres no sign of live connection that the files were actually passed. I would like to know if someone has faced this problem, or if someone has any idea of what im doing wrong and how should i do this installation. (Also if you'd be kind to teach me about the prod keys for a home icon, it would be nice :)) My dearest appreciation if you take your time to read this, and/or help.

Sorry If this is a dumb question but I'm new in this kind of thing and wanna know if this is overclock and dangerous or it's ok to play like that? This is the Game Cube Port of Wind Waker btw

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, any thoughts?

I've been porting Exiled Kingdoms, the old-school isometric action RPG by FDG Entertainment, to the Switch as a native homebrew NRO. No emulation and no streaming: the PC game's Java code is translated to C++ and compiled for the Switch. No game files are shared. The repo only contains build tools and patches. You build the NRO yourself from your own copy of the PC version (`exiledkingdoms.jar` from Steam). If you don't own it, please buy it; it's a great game and very cheap.

Switch OLED firmware 22.5.0. Sysnand boots fine. Emunand gets stuck on Switch logo.

So after ten years with my switch and about 7 years of modding it, I have about 388gb of content in my Nintendo file, and I only have 10gb of videos/pics of screenshots. Is there any way of shaving this or deleting files for games that I don't play no more? All the files and content are named with Numbers so I don't know what I am deleting.

I was checking my controller settings and accidentally opened album, I thought it was gonna open the homebrew menu but I got softlocked instead.

The only things that I could open were the power menu and the home menu, sleep mode didn't work so I tried pressing restart and I got this black screen.

I'm on 21.1.0 firmware with atmosphere 1.10.1 I think

Its stuck on this screen. I patched FF7 bin files and made cue files for them on a website, then I put everything inside tico/roms/psx and it gets stuck on this screen. I've tried pressing + and - and choosing select disc and disc 1, but the image fades to black temporarily and comes back. I've tried turning them into chd files and using an m3u playlist but it still wont work. Does anyone know how to fix this? (By the way I'm not downloading the official FF7 port for Switch because the Spanish translation is REALLY bad)

Hey everyone,

PlayGuard is a homebrew that puts the Switch's parental controls on the console itself: daily play-time limits, the PIN, restrictions, play activity and the network clock. No phone app, no Nintendo account, no internet needed. It drives the console's own `pctl` service, so nothing runs in the background– close it and the console enforces the rules by itself.

Useful if you set up a modded Switch for your kids, or bought a second-hand one still tied to someone else's Parental Controls app.

What's new in 1.2.0

Notification bell. Everything that needs the parent in one place: bedtime alarm off, network clock drifting, settings changed outside PlayGuard, a weak PIN, no recent backup, low SD space, a weekly play-time summary. It also flags newer Atmosphère, hekate and firmware releases (release notes readable in-app) and an outdated recovery sysmodule, which you can update straight from the bell. Tabs get a badge when something needs fixing, and open right on that row.

Installed games checker (Console tab). Finds games that won't start and tells you why – missing update or base game, ticket issue, corrupt data, firmware too old – and how to fix it. Pick several games for one action (check data, remove, remove an update), or send the list to a gist when asking for help.

Cleaner layout. New Console and History tabs, a dedicated PIN tab, each setting next to the feature it affects. Language and theme switch from the header. The PIN, once entered, holds until you close PlayGuard (asked again after 5 min away).

Activity & play timer. All games on their own screen, as covers or a list. Play time over 100 h in whole hours, all-time average over months or years. Tap the week chart to edit several days at once. Extra time now resets by itself the next day.

History logs refused changes too, groups entries by day, and can be filtered and exported.

Plus: one log file per run, PlayGuard's own crashes saved with a backtrace, security fixes around the recovery report, and "Lock and quit" now closes the game PlayGuard runs over.

Full changelog: https://github.com/JigSawFr/PlayGuard/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

Compatibility

- Tested on a console: FW 22.0.0 → 22.5.0 (Atmosphère 1.11.x) and FW 23.0.1 (Atmosphère 1.12.1)
- Should work, untested: FW 21.x and 23.0.0; on 20.x and older, everything except the play timer
- sysMMC or emuMMC; hbmenu, sphaira or Homebrew App Store
- Newer firmware opens read-only until a release supports it.

CFW required, use at your own risk: PlayGuard talks to the restricted `pctl` service, partly through `*ForDebug` commands.

- On 1.1.0 already? About › Check for updates updates in place.
- Launch it over a game, with a parent's user. First steps sets the PIN and the daily limit.
