I made two arcade cabinets for my local gamedev community and we're swapping the Raspberry Pis for Nintendo Switches - cuz it's easy to find used ones - and so far I've tested it with Godot web exports.

Here's the flow:

• upload Godot web export to itch
• mod your Switch and make it use Emulation Station
• make a script to fetch your build using butler
• run the game in chromium

You'll see in the video v1 of this flow where I got my game Dragon Jump to run.

Could it run smoother? Yes. Is this inefficient? Depends. Considering we want the community to build their own games and be able to test them without doing what I did - I think it's a good compromise for v1.

If anyone is curious about anything in the video or wants to call me a genius - I'll see you in the comments.

I NEED HELP FIXING THIS, TYIA!

additional context:
-my modded v1 switch is a fresh install (currently 2weeks old)
-running emummc
-i used latest DBI
-Latest firmware
-Latest atmosphere
-Latest sys-patch
-All other games I recently installed works (such as big titles)
-Tried airplane mode method
-Tried maintenance mode
-Tried reinstalling via different sites
-Theres also no “am” folder since i didnt install sysDVR
-Tried installing the v0 standalone (also tried w update)

ITS STILL NOT LAUNCHING 💔💔💔
I APPRECIATE ANY HELP IN ADVANCE

I’m just curious what this community thinks. And also switch is using drastic emulator with quillez filter and lcd1x + natural vision filter too.

Hey everyone after some thinking I finally got my oled switch modded. everything is pretty new and overwhelming tbh, I tried to look into some guides regarding a modded switch but I could not understand any of it. It was wayy to overwhelming. It would be kind if any of you recommended me a starter guide or any useful information that I should be aware of. Also the system is in EmuNand and I dont plan on using sysnand ever again

Today, I opened Tico because I wanted to play some PSP games. But suddenly, the app stopped working and showed an error.

I found out that there was some kind of network error preventing the game from running. When I turned off Wi-Fi, the problem went away.

Is this a common issue? Everything was still working fine yesterday, with no problem with fetxhing cores. I use an internet connection to connect Tico to RetroAchievements.

So, is there some sudden issue that I need to fix or configure, or will it eventually go away on its own?

No joycons but it came with fnaf so not a bad deal i think

Whats the best way to mod this?

I accidentally checked an 'xaw' serial number when this one is an 'xkw'(which showed as a switch lite?)

Not opposed to soldering myself just want to go with the easiest/most current method

Thanks for any info and pointers!

My first modded system. This is pretty fun now. All of my retro games in one place. You guys are awesome. 👍🏼

This is the guide I used to get the DLC: https://gbatemp.net/threads/dreamlight-valley-rift-in-time-dlc.657448/page-3#post-10548811

I posted this video on my YouTube too, https://youtu.be/jFzVfZK4tBs?is=zAdopf1yorhtbypF

I know the reason too. I think I got banned because I wanted to play online, I switched to Nextendo network with Prelude, in one of the guides, they said to switch it to regular Nintendo servers reboot and then back to nextendo. Im assuming the logs showed my switch having that homebrew, and this was on all on emmunand but my mistake was later also booting into sysnand (airplane mode off) to check something😮‍💨

[Update]: I’m not banned! Thankfully😆 Users @angelesnja and @rogueify suggested I go into OFW and try to create a new user with my same Nintendo account and it worked😆 so thankful for this community man❤️
